DiGiGrid D / User Guide
Introduction
DiGiGrid D Desktop Interface is a SoundGrid I/O for studio and location applications. It has four inputs and six outputs.
Two outputs are fixed level and two have level controls for precision monitoring using the headphone outputs or
loudspeakers. Top-quality converters and mic preamps provide audio capture of the highest order, and the device can be
networked with other SoundGrid devices. DiGiGrid D is powered by a twist-lock 12V DC power supply (provided).
SoundGrid is the Waves high-speed networking protocol for moving audio, clock, and other information between a
host system and I/O devices—and between I/O devices themselves. A SoundGrid host configures the network,
assigning servers and I/O devices to mix, process, or record, depending on the host. SoundGrid devices link to the
SoundGrid network with standard Ethernet cable.
SoundGrid is scalable. Connect one I/O device to a DAW and you have a high-quality sound card. Add more I/Os
and your system becomes more flexible and powerful. Depending on the host application, a SoundGrid host can
assign up to sixteen I/O devices. Complete SoundGrid systems can be networked together to share devices.
Add a server to a SoundGrid system to offload plugin processing from the host CPU to a SoundGrid DSP server.
This dramatically increases processing power and enables greater plugin counts, as well as providing very low
system latency.
DiGiGrid
does not need an external power source when connected to a DiGiGrid
network switch.
DiGiGrid S provides power over Ethernet (PoE) for DiGiGrid D, M, and Q interfaces.
