Waves Live Extreme-C SoundGrid Server

Extreme-C is a very powerful compact, lightweight and durable DSP unit, custom-designed and optimized to relieve your computer of plugin processing. Run hundreds of Waves plugins in real time, live or in the studio — using only half the width of a standard rack.

Whether you're mixing a live show or tracking overdubs in the studio, real-time plugin processing is a must. The Extreme-C server gives you exactly that and does it at lightning-fast speeds: latency as low as 0.8 ms at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.

The latest generation of Waves’s SoundGrid servers boasts a new sleek industrial design built for elegance and durability. Extreme-C now features LED indicators for easy network and temperature monitoring, plus sturdy RAM positioning that secures your mixing experience wherever you are.

Extreme-C is fitted into a rugged all-metal 2U casing which is only half the width of a standard 19-inch rack. You can rack-mount a single server using rack ears, or mount two servers side-by-side using a rack shelf.

Small enough so you can easily take it with you to any production or session, the Extreme-C server allows you to mix plugin-rich sessions anywhere you go.
