Waves Audio is now offering the new SoundGrid compact system for Yamaha consoles. The system includes everything Yamaha users need to process their live performances using Waves plugins, as well as the tools to capture their performances into a DAW.

The SoundGrid compact system represents the first time Waves has assembled all the components needed to run Waves plugins on a Yamaha console into a single, affordable package.

Users can process up to 16 live audio channels using up to 40 plugins in real time with super low latency; record MultiRack-processed tracks in real time, direct to a DAW in the same computer, pre- or post-processing (or both, for maximum flexibility); and adjust their plugins, racks and console settings.

Hardware includes the SoundGrid compact server (measuring 19 cm x 29 cm x 5.5 cm), the WSG-Y16 mini-YGDAI I/O card, a network switch, iLok USB key and Cat 6 network cables.

Software components include the following popular Waves plugins: MultiRack Plugin Host Application, Renaissance Reverb, Renaissance EQ, Renaissance Axx, Renaissance Bass and H-Delay.

Waves’ SoundGrid compact system is compatible with the following Yamaha products: PM5D, DSP5D, M7CL, LS9-32, LS9-16, DM2000, DM1000, 02R96, 01V96, DME64N, DME24N and TX6n/TX5n/TX4n. It is now available with a U.S. MSRP of $1,100.00.
