Waves Support How to Set Up MultiRack SoundGrid with DiGiCo Quantum 7
How to Set Up MultiRack SoundGrid with DiGiCo Quantum 7 Oct 19, 2020
Follow these instructions to connect DiGiCo Quantum 7 engines to MultiRack SoundGrid and SoundGrid server/s for audio processing, remote control and mirroring for dual engines, with or without server redundancy.
Important note:
The last Waves plugin version supported in MultiRack is v10.
DiGiCo Quantum 7 digital mixing consoles have a different back panel layout, ports and connection requirements for SoundGrid networks than the standard SD7 console.
All connections should be done with
compatible Ethernet cables at supported lengths .
Let’s take a look at the back panel of one Quantum 7 engine. We can see a Waves IO network port and two Network switches:
A pair of network ports in the top blue panel marked 1 & 2 – let’s call this the “Blue Switch.” A pair of network ports in the bottom back panel marked 3 & 4 – lets’ call this the “Black Switch.” Connecting a single Quantum 7 engine to MultiRack SoundGrid and one server
Set up a single Quantum 7 engine with MultiRack SoundGrid and one server:
Connect the following to the Blue Switch: Connect the host computer running MultiRack SoundGrid to the Black Switch. Important : The Waves IO and SoundGrid server must be connected to the same switch . Connecting them to different switches may result in audio drops.
Connecting a single Quantum 7 engine to MultiRack SoundGrid and two redundant servers
Set up a single Quantum 7 engine with MultiRack SoundGrid and two redundant servers:
Connect the following to an external SoundGrid supported network Switch Important :
The Waves IO and SoundGrid servers must be connected to the same switch . Connecting them to different switches may result in audio drops. We highly recommend that both servers be of the same model and generation. Connecting dual Quantum 7 engines to MultiRack SoundGrid and one server per engine
Set up dual (mirrored) Quantum 7 engines with two MultiRack SoundGrid setups, each with one server:
Mark all your hardware and cables! Associate each server to Engine A or B. Connect the following to Engine A’s Blue Switch: Connect the host computer running MultiRack SoundGrid to Engine A’s Black Switch. Connect the following to Engine B’s Blue Switch: Connect the host computer running MultiRack SoundGrid to Engine B’s Black Switch. Set up MultiRack SoundGrid inventory and connections as described in steps 3 and 4 here . Connect a compatible ethernet cable between Black Switch A and B . Set up Engine Mirroring as described in step 6 here . Important : Each engine’s Waves IO and SoundGrid server must be connected to the same switch, per engine . Connecting them to different switches may result in audio drops.
Connecting dual Quantum 7 engines to MRSG and two servers per engine
Set up dual (mirrored) Quantum 7 engines with two MultiRack SoundGrid setups, each with two redundant servers:
Mark all your hardware and cables! Associate switches and servers with Engines A or B. Connect the following to external supported network Switch A: Connect the following to external supported network Switch B: Set up MultiRack SoundGrid inventory and connections as described in steps 3 and 4 here . Connect a compatible ethernet cable between Black Switch A and B . Set up Engine Mirroring as described in step 6 here . Important :
The Waves IO and SoundGrid servers must be connected to the same switch, per engine . Connecting them to different switches may result in audio drops. We highly recommend that both servers be of the same model and generation.
