DiGiGrid S User Guide

The DiGiGrid S is a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to work with DiGiGrid audio interfaces and provide Power over Ethernet (PoE). It has 4 front ports that supply PoE to DiGiGrid desktop interfaces for power and a rear non-PoE port to connect to the SoundGrid network. Adding more DiGiGrid interfaces allows expanding I/O capabilities. It is powered by a 48V DC supply and operates as part of a SoundGrid network controlled by a host computer DAW application.

Introduction
The DiGiGrid S PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch is a 5-port Gigabit network switch designed to work alongside the
DiGiGrid Desktop audio interfaces and other SoundGrid interfaces. DiGiGrid S features one upstream non-PoE port for
connection to the SoundGrid network. The four downstream PoE ports provide both data and power to the DiGiGrid D, M
and Q audio interfaces. DiGiGrid S is the perfect complement to a growing networked audio system.

Important Notice. The DiGiGrid S is powered using a 48V DC twist-lock power supply. This is not the same 12V DC
power supplies used for the D, Q and M Desktop Interfaces.
Do not attempt to use the S 48V power supply with any other device.

DiGiGrid S operates as part of a SoundGrid network. SoundGrid is the Waves high-speed networking protocol for moving
audio, clock, and other information between a host system and I/O devices—and between I/O devices themselves. A
SoundGrid host configures the network, assigning servers and I/O devices to mix, process, or record, depending on the
host. SoundGrid I/Os link to the SoundGrid network with standard Ethernet cable.

SoundGrid is scalable. Connect one I/O device to a DAW and you have a high-quality sound card. Add more I/Os and
your system becomes more flexible and powerful. Depending on the host application, a SoundGrid host can assign up to
sixteen I/O devices. Complete SoundGrid systems can be networked together to share devices.

Add a server to a SoundGrid system to offload plugin processing from the host CPU to a SoundGrid DSP server. This
dramatically increases processing power and enables greater plugin counts, as well as providing very low system
latency.

The POE Status LED will light up only when the connected device is using POE. If non-POE devices are connected to
the front POE ports, the switch will operate as a normal switch and the POE status LED will not illuminate.

Uses and Configurations
There are many ways to use your DiGiGrid S. Systems can range from small and simple to huge and complex. There are
certain factors to consider when incorporating a DiGiGrid S into your studio: your existing (or future) equipment, your
workflow, and what you want to accomplish.

One I/O
This is the most basic studio configuration. It includes a host computer with a DAW and a single DiGiGrid Desktop
Interface that connects microphones, instruments, headphones, and monitors to the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver.
This driver controls the network and all its devices. The DiGiGrid S allows the Desktop Interface to be used without its
external DC power supply.

Add I/Os
Use the DiGiGrid S switch to add more I/Os. The S provides power to all connected DiGiGrid desktop devices and can
also connect other SoundGrid devices. Please refer to the user guide for your DiGiGrid interface and your SoundGrid
host application manuals for setup and configuration details.

DiGiGrid M

ADD A SERVER
To add a server to your SoundGrid system, just
connect it to the Ethernet switch and configure it in
your host application. This moves all DSP processing
from the host computer to the server, which provides
a higher plugin count and enables the eMotion LV1
and ST mixers. Visit the waves.com hardware pages
to learn more about SoundGrid servers. Consult your
host application user guide to learn how to configure
additional I/Os and servers.
