Hardware and Connections

The Allen & Heath M-Waves expansion card has three SoundGrid Ethernet ports.
SoundGrid Ports 1, 2, and 3
You can use M-Waves V1, V2 (using M-DL-ADAPT card adapter) and M-DL-WAVES3 cards together in a dLive setup.
iLive setups can use M-Waves V1 and V2 cards. M-Waves V1 cannot be an Ethernet clock (SOE) slave. It must provide
clock sync to an M-Waves V2 or M-DL-WAVES3 card. Setting up the clock master for the network is done in either
SuperRack SoundGrid, QRec, SoundGrid Studio, or eMotion LV1.
M-Waves has three SoundGrid Ethernet ports. This enables you to connect the M-Waves card to a host computer and
two other devices, (e.g., SoundGrid I/Os, SoundGrid host computers, SoundGrid server) without needing an Ethernet
switch—each port can connect to one SoundGrid device or computer. It is not important which of the three Ethernet ports
is used to connect to the SoundGrid network.
For installations that include more than three additional devices, a SoundGrid compatible Ethernet switch is necessary.
For further instructions, please refer to your console's user guide.
