Overview
M-SQ-WAVES3-A is the Waves V3 card for the I/O Port on Allen & Heath SQ mixers and AHM processors. It gives a 64x64 interface to a Waves SoundGrid network at 96kHz or 48kHz. Use it to insert Waves plugins on a SoundGrid server, record and play back multitrack for virtual soundcheck, or distribute audio to other SoundGrid devices. It is a single cable connection from the console to a SoundGrid switch or server, which keeps FOH tidy.

Forefront Tip
Run the SoundGrid network on its own switch rather than sharing it with control traffic, and match the SoundGrid session sample rate to the SQ before you start patching.
