Descripción
The DiGiCo X-WAVES-EXTC is a powerful and compact SoundGrid DSP server designed for real-time plug-in processing in live sound and studio environments. Powered by an Intel 10th Generation Core i7-10700 processor, it can handle hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible plug-ins while reducing processing demands on the host computer. Its low-latency architecture provides processing as low as 0.8 milliseconds at supported sample rates. The compact chassis occupies only half the width of a standard 19-inch rack. This makes it suitable for touring rigs, front-of-house systems, recording studios, and portable production setups.
High-Power Plug-In Processing
The X-WAVES-EXTC provides substantial additional processing power for SoundGrid-compatible plug-ins. Its Intel Core i7-10700 CPU is designed to handle demanding real-time audio processing workloads. By moving plug-in processing to a dedicated server, the system reduces the processing burden on the main computer. This allows users to build larger and more complex live or studio mixes. The server is designed for professional applications where consistent processing performance is essential.
Ultra-Low Latency
The server provides latency as low as 0.8 milliseconds at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 96 kHz. This enables responsive real-time plug-in processing for live mixing and studio tracking. Low latency is particularly important for monitoring, overdubbing, and front-of-house applications. The SoundGrid platform allows compatible plug-ins to operate within a high-performance networked audio environment. This provides a responsive processing workflow for demanding productions.
SoundGrid Connectivity
The X-WAVES-EXTC features a rugged Neutrik etherCON connection for reliable SoundGrid networking. It can be used with SoundGrid interfaces, including compatible DiGiGrid I/O devices. SoundGrid Connect also allows compatible non-SoundGrid ASIO and CoreAudio devices to be integrated into the system. This provides flexibility for users who want to expand their existing audio setup without replacing their current I/O hardware. The server can therefore serve as a central processing resource in a wide range of digital audio configurations.
Enhanced Industrial Design
The Extreme C features a sleek industrial chassis designed for durability and professional operation. LED indicators provide convenient monitoring of network status and operating temperature. Sturdy RAM positioning helps improve reliability during transportation and demanding production use. The robust 2U chassis occupies only half the width of a standard 19-inch rack. This compact format allows one server to be installed with rack ears or two servers to be mounted side-by-side using a compatible rack shelf.
Portable Professional Operation
With its compact dimensions and relatively low weight, the X-WAVES-EXTC is designed to fit easily into portable production setups. Its 2U half-width chassis provides substantial processing power without taking up the space of a full-width rack server. The unit is suitable for touring professionals, mobile engineers, recording studios, and front-of-house systems. Its wide operating temperature range also supports reliable use across different production environments. The combination of processing power, compact design, and network flexibility makes it a practical professional DSP solution.
