Waves Audio has announced that its X-WSG I/O Card and the Impact Combo for X32 and M32 Consoles are now available for preoder, offering the most affordable way to run SoundGrid-compatible plugins by Waves and other companies (compressors, EQs, limiters, reverbs, delays, feedback elimination tools and more) on your X32 or M32 mixer.
With the X-WSG I/O card and a SoundGrid DSP server, you can mix with award-winning, state-of-the-art SoundGrid audio plugins by Waves and with SoundGrid-compatible plugins by other companies, allowing you to dramatically improve your live sound. You can also soundcheck and capture multi-track recordings with plugins – all in extremely low latency.
The Waves X-WSG card enables you to connect your digital console to any Waves SoundGrid audio processing server via a single Ethernet cable. It also features clock Sync-over-Ethernet for syncing multiple mixers and performing digital splits. Together with a SoundGrid server and a Mac or PC, the Waves X-WSG I/O card gives you more control over your live sound – directly from your X32 or M32 console.
