Waves - Proton SoundGrid Server

Waves Proton Server: ultra-fast, ultra-compact plugin processing. Perfect for live performance, mobile studios or light, efficient SoundGrid set-ups.

The Waves Proton is SoundGrid's most affordable DSP server, but don't let its size fool you. Barely bigger than a book, it fits in a rucksack and yet offers all the power you need to process your Waves plugins live or in the studio, with latency as low as 0.8 ms at 48 kHz. It's a tool for agile, mobile and responsive setups.

In concert, Proton supports up to 32 channels via SuperRack or 16 channels with eMotion LV1. Connected to a SoundGrid interface, it frees you from your computer's CPU load, while guaranteeing stability and fluidity. It becomes the heart of your audio processing system, whether you're on tour or in residence.

Its half-rack 1U format fits into any flycase or control room, with connectivity reduced to the essentials: an etherCON port for the SoundGrid network, two USBs for maintenance, and an HDMI for service. The metal chassis with its industrial design is designed to withstand movement without flinching.

Designed for live sound engineers, broadcast technicians or mobile studios, the Proton offers a cost-effective entry point to the SoundGrid ecosystem. It excels in configurations requiring portability, real-time processing and maximum efficiency. A smart, reliable and silent solution for those who want to get down to basics... without sacrificing performance.
