The most powerful SoundGrid DSP Server ever, Waves SoundGrid Extreme is pumped up and ready to tackle your heaviest processing challenges. Try these numbers on for size: SoundGrid Extreme can run over 500 instances of Waves stereo SSL E-Channel or C4 Multiband Compressor plugins, with latency as low as 0.8 milliseconds! Featuring an Intel® i7 microprocessor which delivers over 40% more power than the SoundGrid Server One, and housed in a rugged road-ready 2U chassis, the Extreme DSP Server is a massive upgrade to any SoundGrid system.
MultiRack Benchmarks
The table below indicates the number of plugin racks and plugins that can be inserted into MultiRack and loaded to the SoundGrid Extreme server before the system reaches DSP overload (85%) or fails to play audio fluently (clicks, dropouts, corruption).
The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (64 MultiRacks) for either mono or stereo. Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.
* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter.
** Plugin introduces high latency. Click here for a latency chart of all Waves plugins.
StudioRack Benchmarks
The table below indicates the number of plugins that can be inserted into StudioRacks and loaded to the SoundGrid Extreme server before the system fails to play audio fluently (clicks, dropouts, corruption).
The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (mono) or 256 (stereo) (64 or 32 StudioRacks, respectively). Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.
* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter in the eMotion ST mixer.
