    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.
  • Page 6 A SoundGrid network is fully scalable. Connect multiple STG units within a SoundGrid network for a high channel count. In this example, there are three STG-2412 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 configuration includes an external control surface and a DAW, which can be used with the eMotion LV1 mixer or the MultiRack processing rack.
