Waves EXBOX.SG Low-Latency Conversion of 128 Audio Channels Between SoundGrid and MADI Systems

Enjoy rock-solid digital audio transmission for all your high track count studio and live productions with the EXBOX.3G. Boasting three MADI ports and four network ports that facilitate the low-latency conversion of up to 128 audio channels between Waves SoundGrid audio processing and MADI systems (sold separately), its compact design occupies just 1/3 of a 19” rack. Add to that redundant power supplies, and you have the ideal tool for OB vans and live sound environments. With its versatile MADI ports covering Optical SC, Coaxial, and SFP interfaces, and the option to customize with suitable SFP modules, EXBOX.SG ensures compatibility with various applications. Additionally, its four network ports enable direct connection to redundant recording systems and plugin servers, eliminating the need for an extra switch. Equipped with LED indicators for easy monitoring of clocking, sample rate, device status, and power supply, and offering multiple power options including external power supplies and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), EXBOX.SG guarantees safe and efficient operation in any setup.
