Power Up Your Yamaha Console with Waves SoundGrid
Add dedicated DSP for running Waves plug-ins right from your Yamaha digital mixing console with the Waves Server One-C SuperRack Combo. It's based on the SoundGrid Server One-C server, with an Intel Coffee Lake i3 4 Core processor and 8GB of RAM for running your Waves plug-ins with ultra-low latency. This combo also includes a WSG-Y16 V2 mini-YGDAI I/O card for your console, plus a Netgear ProSafe GS108 network switch and Ethernet cabling.

WSG-Y16 V2 SoundGrid Interface Card
The WSG-Y16 includes a soundcard for Yamaha mixing consoles plus SoundGrid technology for your control PC. With this system and an authorized iLok, your Yamaha console can process up to 16 channels of audio with Waves plug-ins. Just route a channel from your console to the WSG-Y16 channel, process the channel with Waves plug-ins on the SoundGrid server, and send it back. And since the WSG-Y16 card has a MIDI input, you can even control the plug-in directly from the console or your favorite external control surface. Since the Waves WSG-Y16 system takes advantage of the latest Ethernet and CPU technologies, you get superb performance with extremely low latency — the processing happens even faster than it does with most dedicated DSP-based platforms! Finally, the live sound realm can connect with the quality that studios have come to expect. And artists can enjoy the same sound they created in the studio when they take their act to the big stage.
