DirectOut has entered into a SoundGrid licensing partnership with Waves Audio

Connectivity specialists DirectOut has announced that they have entered into a SoundGrid licensing partnership with Waves Audio, the world’s leading developer of audio plugins and signal processors for the professional and consumer electronics audio markets. The collaboration has led to the development of a new device with a SoundGrid and MADI interface. SoundGrid is an audio-over-Ethernet networking and processing technology developed by Waves offering extremely low latency, high channel count audio processing. Running on standard Intel CPUs and 1Gbps Ethernet networks, SoundGrid uses standard computers, switches and servers and integrates easily with analog and digital mixing consoles. Real-time audio processing is performed on standard Intel-based plugin servers running a Waves-customized version of the rock-solid Linux platform, making it an ideal solution for studio facilities, live sound, broadcast, post-production and more.

Mick Olesh, Waves EVP of Sales & Marketing, comments: “We are delighted to offer Waves SoundGrid technology to DirectOut and contribute to their development and implementation of future products. This is another step in Waves ongoing policy, of refining networking possibilities and enabling users to benefit from having access to a variety of tools, enhancing their processing capabilities and cater to their specific needs.”
