Proton Duo combines a Waves Proton SoundGrid server, an Axis Proton audio-optimized computer, and a built-in network switch – all in one compact device.
For the first time ever, you can add more plugin processing power via a SoundGrid server, and run Waves applications on a customized computer designed for outstanding audio performance – all using one slim elegant unit, instead of two separate devices.
In addition to boosting your DSP power, Proton Duo is optimized through meticulous selection of components to run the Waves eMotion LV1 live mixer, the SuperRack live plugin host, and the SoundGrid Studio application, on systems of up to 32 channels at 48kHz.
With server, computer and switch all rolled into one, Proton Duo is the most compact and portable Waves processing unit yet. Easily mount using rack ears or placed side-by-side with an additional half-rack 1U device within a rack mounting system. Preconfigured, wired, and ready to go straight out of the box, Proton Duo is designed for quick setup: Just plug it into your I/O, anytime, anywhere -- and you’re ready to mix.
