The Waves Impact Server Combo is a SoundGrid DSP server, MultiRack software, and plug-in bundle designed to provide portable plug-in processing capabilities for sound engineers using SoundGrid-compatible live mixing consoles in concert venues, theaters, houses of worship, clubs, and other live stage applications. It includes a SoundGrid Impact Server DSP server, a Gigabit Ethernet network switch, three Cat 6e Ethernet cables, and a Waves software package featuring six plug-ins and a plug-in host.
The SoundGrid Impact Server features an Intel Skylake i3 CPU and 4GB of RAM. It handles the task of processing multiple instances of Waves plug-ins with latency as low as 0.8 ms at sample rates up to 96 kHz. It includes a power cable.
The Netgear GS108 V4 switch allows you to connect multiple devices such as computers and SoundGrid interfaces to a SoundGrid audio network. It provides eight RJ45 ports and LED status indicators. A power adapter is supplied.
The Waves software package includes MultiRack and six Waves plug-ins: H-Delay, Renaissance Reverb, Renaissance Axx, Renaissance Bass, Renaissance Equalizer, and eMo D5 Dynamic. The MultiRack software allows you to enjoy numerous, concurrent instances of Waves plug-ins in low latency and with sidechain functionality.
