SoundGrid Server (SGS) The SoundGrid Server is the “number cruncher” which performs the audio processing. Audio is streamed from the card to the server, gets processed at low latency, and is streamed back to the card, according to the audio connections established using the MultiRack SoundGrid host application. Visit waveslive.com for a list of supported servers and installation details. Network Switch The switch connects all SoundGrid components.
