The new M-Waves V2 option card for iLive and GLD adds the ability to sync from the SoundGrid network, opening up endless networking possibilities such as digital mic splitting, audio distribution, FoH and Monitor sharing a single SG Server, and integration with the DiGiGrid range of interfaces and breakout boxes.

A typical application diagram is shown below – here an iLive system mixing monitor on stage is equipped with an M-Waves V2 card. The iLive is sending up to 40 channels to the ME personal mixing system via a SoundGrid connection to the ME-U hub. Up to 64 channels are sent to the GLD system at FoH, where a SoundGrid server is connected for low latency plugin processing. The two mixers can share the same server if required. A laptop running SG Studio is recording up to 64 tracks via a direct Cat5 connection to the M-Waves card, thanks to ASIO / Core Audio drivers. A second laptop running Multirack SG is deployed at FoH for plugin control.

Note – The iLive / GLD network ports can be bridged into the M-Waves card to allow use of iLive Editor / GLD Editor on the same computers running the Waves software.

Note – The iLive is operating as the master clock in the SoundGrid network. The master device can use the original M-Waves card. The slave devices must use the newer M-Waves V2.
