Waves Hear Technologies WSG Bridge for Dante
MPN #SGBRI-SG
64ch Dante-SoundGrid bridge, bidirectional routing, 0.52-0.78ms latency, 44.1-96kHz, 1RU rack, plugin-ready, redundant PSU support, Waves plugin integration
The Waves WSG Bridge is a 1U rack-mountable interface that seamlessly connects Dante and SoundGrid networks, enabling bidirectional routing of up to 64 channels at sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz. Designed for live sound, broadcast, and studio applications, the WSG Bridge allows you to integrate Waves' acclaimed real-time plugin processing into any Dante-based system using a SoundGrid server (sold separately).
Engineered for ultra-low latency performance-as low as 0.52 ms one-way at 96 kHz-the WSG Bridge features robust I/O with dedicated RJ45 ports for both Dante and SoundGrid, USB connectivity for firmware updates, and support for future expansion via HBUS ports and optional clock modules. Redundant power input options ensure uninterrupted operation in mission-critical setups. Bring professional-grade plugin processing and flexible network audio routing together with the WSG Bridge.
