Bridge SoundGrid and Dante Networks with the Hear Technologies WSG Bridge for Dante
The Hear Technologies WSG Bridge for Dante is a rackmountable audio bridge designed to route audio between Waves SoundGrid and Dante networks. With up to 64 channels of bidirectional audio, low-latency performance, and support for Waves real-time plugin processing through a SoundGrid system, the WSG Bridge helps integrate Dante-based live sound, broadcast, and installed audio systems with Waves SoundGrid workflows.
- Bridges Waves SoundGrid and Dante audio network protocols
- Routes up to 64 channels of bidirectional audio between Dante and SoundGrid networks
- Enables Waves and third-party SoundGrid plugin processing in Dante-based systems
- Typical one-way latency as low as 0.520 ms at 96 kHz
- Supports sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz for Dante and SoundGrid card operation
- Clock source options include Dante, SoundGrid, and future external clock input
- Standard 1U rackmount enclosure for professional system integration
- USB 2.0 port for firmware updates and future connectivity
- Port for optional redundant power supply
- Requires SoundGrid audio interface driver installation to function
Add Waves Real-Time Processing to Dante Networks
The WSG Bridge for Dante allows engineers to bring Waves plugin processing into Dante network environments. When paired with a Waves SoundGrid Server, the bridge enables low-latency processing for up to 64 channels, making it useful for live sound, broadcast, theater, worship, and installed audio systems.
Bidirectional Dante and SoundGrid Routing
Fluent in both SoundGrid and Dante, the WSG Bridge can route audio in either direction between the two protocols. This makes it possible to connect Dante network audio to SoundGrid processing, SoundGrid interfaces, or Waves eMotion LV1-style workflows.
Low-Latency Network Performance
The bridge is designed for fast network audio transfer, with typical one-way latency under 1 ms at supported sample rates. For round-trip routing, latency is exactly double the listed one-way values, not including A/D conversion, D/A conversion, or plugin processing time.
Rackmount Integration and Power Redundancy
The 1U rackmount enclosure fits into standard professional racks for clean installation. A redundant power supply port is included, with the secondary power supply available separately for systems that require additional power reliability.
