"We are delighted to add the Waves WSG-Y16 SoundGrid MY-card to the ever-growing list of cards for our digital consoles," states Kevin Kimmel, mixer product manager at Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. "The WSG-Y16 will allow the most desired third-party set of plug-ins available to be at the fingertips of the largest group of live sound engineers on the planet. With the combination of the variety of plug-ins from Waves and the reliability of Yamaha consoles, we have high expectations for both the new card and the Waves SoundGrid Server."
Waves Audio SoundGrid technology gives users the ability to run large numbers of Waves' award-winning audio processors with low latency, using standard PCs via Ethernet, far surpassing the specs of dedicated DSP-based platforms. Waves' SoundGrid system takes advantage of the recent advances in both Ethernet and CPU technologies to provide superb performance for the live sound markets, bringing the worlds of studio recording and live sound closer than ever before. With the introduction of the WSG-Y16 mini-YGDAI card for Yamaha consoles, Waves brings the networking and processing capabilities of SoundGrid functionality to the live sound realm.
As the industry's leading developer of professional audio digital signal technologies, Waves is uniquely qualified to bring studio-quality sound enhancement to the world of live sound; Yamaha, as a leading manufacturer of live and studio mixing consoles, provides the perfect platform for this processing. The WSG-Y16 mini-YGDAI card represents a tremendous leap forward both in terms of technological innovation and processing power.
