  • Bidirectional Protocol Bridging Links SoundGrid And Dante Networks Without Format Converters
  • Native Clock Sync Over Ethernet Eliminates Clocking Conflicts Between SoundGrid And Dante Domains
  • Half-Rack 1U Form Factor Fits Stagebox Racks And Broadcast Carts Where Full-Rack Units Cannot
  • Sub-Millisecond One-Way Latency Preserves Timing Integrity Across Mixed-Protocol Live Rigs
  • Dual Clock Source Selection Allows Either Dante Or SoundGrid To Serve As Network Master
  • Shelf Or Rack-Ear Mounting Options Support Flexible Deployment In Touring And Installed Environments
  • Lightweight Construction Reduces Load In Weight-Sensitive Touring And Broadcast Configurations

The Hear Technologies Dante-WSG XS targets live sound engineers, broadcast integrators, and installed audio system designers who need a reliable, low-latency bridge between Dante networks and Waves SoundGrid ecosystems. Whether deploying an eMotion LV1 mixer into an existing Dante facility or adding SuperRack plugin processing to a Dante-routed system, this interface eliminates the need for format converters or workaround routing — it is the connection point between both protocols.

At half the size and half the weight of previous-generation bridges, the Dante-WSG XS fits shelf-mounted or rack-eared into tight stagebox racks, broadcast carts, or equipment rooms without sacrificing channel capacity. Supporting up to 64 bidirectional channels at 44.1 and 48 kHz, and 32 channels at 88.2 and 96 kHz, it covers professional session requirements across standard and high-sample-rate workflows. Clock sync over Ethernet between SoundGrid and Dante domains is handled natively, removing the clocking compromises that plague multi-protocol rigs.

For integrators evaluating Dante-to-SoundGrid bridge options, the Dante-WSG XS competes directly with software-based bridging approaches and larger hardware units — but delivers sub-millisecond one-way latency, a power draw under 5 watts, and a physical footprint that fits where full-rack units cannot. It is a purpose-built appliance for professional mixed-protocol audio environments, not a general-purpose router repurposed for audio.
