Waves - Pack Proton SoundGrid Server + Ext Card Yamaha

This pack combines the power of the Waves Proton server with the WSG-Y16 V2 expansion card, transforming a Yamaha console into a true DSP powerhouse. You benefit from real-time processing with imperceptible latency, capable of supporting up to 150 SSL E-Channel plugins live. An ideal solution for sound engineers looking for a modern, fast and reliable workflow, directly integrated into their existing console.

Designed for the most popular Yamaha models (CL, QL, M7CL, LS9, PM5D, DM2000...), this bundle lets you mix, record and play your virtual soundchecks without any additional interface. The SoundGrid architecture creates a gateway between the console and the Proton server, using a simple Ethernet cable, guaranteeing network redundancy and total control over your processing.

The Proton server is a concentrate of efficiency in an ultra-compact format. It fits in a rucksack, consumes just 15 W, and yet delivers robust DSP performance for configurations of up to 32 channels. Its compatibility with SuperRack and the SoundGrid eco-system means you can add a complete plug-in rack to your console without sacrificing resources.

The included SuperRack software rack gives you access to an interface optimised for live use, with layered organisation and MIDI compatibility, enabling fluid navigation between effects, presets and snapshots. The ergonomics are designed for the field: every control is instantly accessible, even in the most demanding conditions.

A year's subscription to Waves Essential completes the system with 110 professional plugins: EQs, compressors, reverbs, mastering tools and more. A wide range of tools for sculpting a precise, powerful and musical live sound. It's a real live production kit, ready to use straight from your Yamaha console.
