Waves WSG Bridge from Hear Technologies

Bring Waves' powerful, award-winning plugins into your Dante network with the rack-mountable WSG Bridge. Fluent in SoundGrid and Dante, WSG Bridge bidirectionally routes up to 64 channels between Dante and SoundGrid networks for processing, audio interfacing, and much more.

In addition, dedicating a Waves SoundGrid Server to running Waves and 3rd party SoundGrid plugins adds ultra-low latency processing capabilities for up to 64 channels of your Dante network.

• Bring the award-winning sound of Waves plugins into Dante networks
• 64 channels of bidirectional audio between Dante and SoundGrid
• Port for redundant power supply (optional, purchase separately)
• Supports sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz
• Rugged, 1U rack-mountable enclosure
• Clock source: SoundGrid/Dante, and synchronization over Ethernet

System I/O

Latency

• Typical Dante to WSG or WSG to Dante Latency:*
• 0.787ms @ 44.1kHz
• 0.778ms @ 48.0kHz
• 0.580ms @ 88.2kHz
• 0.520ms @ 96.0kHz
  
  *For round-trip time, latency is exactly double
  **Does not include any A/D or D/A conversion time or plugin processing time
