DSPro Etherface Available at SFL Group

A fantastic AES50 interface ideal for Midas Pro Series consoles offering 72 bi-directional channels at 96Khz for recording, virtual soundcheck and Waves Multirack integration.

Love your videos Mark! Quick question. With the etherface, you can only use waves in native mode, correct? I would assume there is no way to use a soundgrid server and the etherface at the same time as they run different protocols.

Hi Mark, 12 months on, does the Etherface still set the standard for this set up?

So, I have a Digigrid MGB and a Waves server One. Did put it in a rack unit with a Mac Mini i7, 16Gb ram. My next tour is on a Midas Pro series. Could the DSPro etherface be of any help ? Or am I stuck to a KT 9650 running the Waves server? Thanks in advance. AdB

Ok, so you have a waves server and you are therefore doing the DSP processing there. The power of your mac mini is largely irrelevant as you are only running the Waves Multirack Soundgrid user interface and there is no audio going through it. For Waves Soundgrid, you need Soundgrid... that is coming from the MGB so you need that! The MGB needs Madi and the KTDN9650 is doing that ... so you need that as well. .... You could simplify, get rid of the waves server and go native. This will then load the Mac with your plugin DSP at the expense of extra latency. This would be a good entry level for a new investor into waves.... but not for you as you already have the expensive stuff.

Thank you Mark, for the reply. I am a freelancer mostly working in the Benelux and certainly not in the entry-level. MGB and Server-One did the job just fine in the past, where Digico was the rule of thumb. Nowadays there's a number of other digital boards ( yamahaCL, A&H DLive and Midas) surfacing on specs, and I want to keep my Waves-rack up to date and make it work with those, even implement it in a analogue environment. I understood that the KT9650 has a channel-count of only 24 at 96K. with is poor to me. I'm mixing bands since the early 80's and lots have changed since..... Not a digital genius, but just looking to keep my Waves rack running in the future. Regards, André

André de Bruin...Well AES50 is 24ch at 96K but the KT DN9650 takes three of these so its 72ch @96K. In reality this will convert to a single madi which is 32 @96K or 64 @48K. The 9650 is happy doing the SRC so you can compromise the sample rate on the waves side for channel count.
