Product Overview SoundStudio STG-2412 is a rugged stage box with 24 analog inputs and12 line outputs. It’s designed for both stage and studio applications. All connections on this 4U rack-mountable device are on the front panel, except the mains connection and power switch, which are on the rear panel.
Using STG-2412 for Mixing, Processing, and Recording STG-2412 uses Waves SoundGrid protocol to connect to an eMotion LV1 mixer, to a MultiRack processor, and to any DAW. A typical SoundGrid network consists of a host computer, a SoundGrid server, and I/O devices, all connected with Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cables via a 1GB Ethernet switch.

Connect multiple SoundStudio I/O units within a SoundGrid network for a high channel count. In this example, there are three I/O devices onstage. These are used for onstage microphones and monitoring. In the FOH are two SoundGrid servers (one primary and one redundant) and one I/O. This example has an external control surface and a DAW for recording.
