Upgrade Your Pro Tools System
with SoundGrid Connectivity
The DiGiGrid DLS networking hub bridges Pro Tools HD/HDX/HD Native systems with Waves SoundGrid for real-time processing and networking. This ideal way to upgrade Pro Tools includes two DigiLink ports that deliver up to 64 ins and outs, a built-in SoundGrid DSP server, network switch, and two distinct operational modes.
I/O mode offloads plugin processing to SoundGrid servers. SGP mode controls DigiLink-enabled I/Os, bridges DAWs with SoundGrid/ASIO/Core Audio, and also offloads plugin processing.
- Built-in SoundGrid DSP server and network switch
- Bridges Pro Tools HD/HDX and HD Native systems with SoundGrid
- Enables using DigiLink-compliant I/O devices with any native DAW
- Dual DigiLink ports provide up to 64 digital inputs/outputs
- Compatible with eMotion LV1, SuperRack, and SoundGrid Studio
- Compliant with the SoundGrid Studio ASIO/Core Audio drivers
- Includes the complete SoundGrid Studio system software suite
- Connect SoundGrid components with a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable

Large-Facility Pro Tools HDX Mixing Room with Multiple I/Os, a Secondary DAW Computer, and a MADI-Enabled Device
Bridging Pro Tools with SoundGrid – DiGIGrid DLI and DLS in I/O mode – Multiple Studios
This configuration adds efficiency to large multifaceted mixing environments.
In this configuration, a SoundGrid network delivers flexibility to a control room equipped with a large Pro Tools HDX system. DiGiGrid DLI and DLS interfaces together provide 112 I/O channels to the HDX system, and the DLS provides a SoundGrid DSP server for plugin processing. An Avid Omni is the I/O for control room mixes.
All these devices are joined via DigiLink and clocked with Sync Lock. Everything else in the network is connected with Ethernet cables.
A DiGiGrid IOX supplies analog inputs with award-winning preamps, plus 4 separate headphone outs. This serves a voice-over booth, a broadcast stage, a live room, and more.
A secondary DAW system can be a backup recorder, an editing room DAW, and a recording station for the voice-over booth. Its DiGiGrid IOC provides many channels of I/O, which can be allocated to the main DAW.
A DiGiGrid MGB/MGO interface connects this network to a MADI source, for instance a console or a MADI distribution system. Audio can be routed to the main or secondary systems.
Inventory
- Pro Tools HDX 2 system
- Avid HD I/O (96, 192, Omni, etc.)
- Secondary host computer with a Native DAW
- DiGiGrid DLS
- DigiGrid DLI
- DiGiGrid IOX
- DiGiGrid IOC
- DiGiGrid MGB/MGO
- 1 GB network switch
*Some DigiLink-compatible I/Os cannot connect to the DLI/DLS via their secondary DigiLink port.
Integrating Avid Hardware Devices with Any DAW
You may have some older or unused Avid I/O devices. You can add these devices to a SoundGrid network in order to pick up extra I/O and A/D/A capacity.
In this configuration, a DLS I/O and server is the bridge connecting these interfaces to the SoundGrid network. Avid hardware is used for I/O and A/D/A conversion, while processing takes place on the server.
- DigiLink-enabled I/O hardware (96, 192, OMNI, Symphony, etc.)
- SoundGrid network with one or more native DAWs
- DLI/DLS interface
The DigiLink-enabled I/O will not appear in the DAW hardware device menu. Instead, you will see the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver. Patching of I/O channels and driver channels is done through the SoundGrid Studio Application. You can control the DigiLink-compatible I/O parameters using the DLS Control Panel which is accessible via the SoundGrid Studio Setup page.
Integrating Multiple Avid Hardware Devices with the SoundGrid Studio System Using Any DAW
DiGiGrid DLS in SGP Mode with Multiple DigiLink Interfaces – No PCI Card
You may have some older or unused Avid I/O devices. You can add these devices to a SoundGrid network in order to pick up extra I/O and A/D/A capacity.
In this configuration, DiGiGrid DLS I/O is the bridge connecting Pro Tools HD to the SoundGrid network. Avid hardware is used for I/O and A/D/A conversion, but processing takes place on the DLS’s built-in server. Now you can also add additional DiGiGrid I/O interfaces if necessary.
- 4 Avid I/O units (96, 192, OMNI, etc.)
- SoundGrid network with one or more native DAWs
- DiGiGrid DLS (or DiGiGrid DLI + SoundGrid DSP server)

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.
