Extreme-C SoundGrid Server

Comes with a free 1-year warranty. Extended warranties available.

Updated with 10th-generation Intel^® Core^™ CPU, sleek industrial design and brand new features, this powerful yet compact DSP unit can effortlessly process hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible plugins in real time, live or in the studio — taking only half the width of a standard rack.

The Extreme-C SoundGrid Server allows you to mix live shows or track overdubs in the studio with real-time plugin processing, thanks to latency as low as 0.8 milliseconds.

The latest generation of Extreme servers feature a new sleek industrial design built for elegance and durability. Extreme Server-C now features LED indicators for easy network and temperature monitoring, plus sturdy RAM positioning for a reliable mixing experience that can withstand the challenges of any setup, wherever you are.

With a robust 2U chassis, Extreme Server-C is only half the width of a standard 19-inch rack. You can rack-mount one server using rack ears, or double up for redundancy and mount two units side-by-side using a rack shelf.

The Extreme Server-C fits right inside your carry-on, so you can easily take your mixing to the extreme wherever you go.

The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (mono) or 256 (stereo) (64 or 32 StudioRacks, respectively). Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.

* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter in the eMotion ST mixer.

** Plugin introduces high latency. Click here for a latency chart of all Waves plugins.
