Waves WSG Bridge for Dante 1U Rack

Bridge up to 64 audio channels between the Waves SoundGrid and Dante protocols. The WSG Bridge lets you add real-time processing capabilities to a Dante network by using a Waves SoundGrid server dedicated to plugin processing.

'Speaking' both SoundGrid and Dante, the 1U rack-mountable WSG Bridge is the perfect way to bring Waves' powerful, award-winning plugins and sound into your Dante network. Easily route any of the channels from your Dante network to the SoundGrid network for processing, and back to wherever they need to arrive.
