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:
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:
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:
Important:
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:
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:
Important:
