Neotécnica adds the distribution of DiGiGrid interfaces to its professional audio proposal

The universal platform for network transport and processing for any audio mixing or production system DiGiGrid has been incorporated into the Neotécnica distribution portfolio, which already sells in the Spanish market.

Las interfaces DiGiGrid, brand created by Waves, world leader in the development of DSP technologies for audio processing and the manufacturer of DiGiCo live mixing systems, now available in the Spanish market through the distributor Neotecnica, Provide network transport and processing capabilities to virtually any audio mixing or production system.

Native DAWs like Logic, Cubase, Nuendo o Ableton Live; native or HD Pro Tools systems; mixing consoles with MADI bus; even analog sources, can benefit from multi-channel audio transport over Ethernet and powerful network processing.

Most audio production infrastructures, whether in studio or live, are increasingly based on multichannel transport protocols over Ethernet cabling; protocols that in some cases allow the simultaneous transmission and management of hundreds of channels in high resolution. In addition to the advantages of carrying hundreds of channels with minimal wiring, The concept of networking opens up enormous possibilities in terms of processing, through the opportunity to include dedicated servers in the networks themselves, a visionary proposal offered by DiGiGrid.

DAWs nativas y Pro Tools HD

Professionals working with native DAWs only need to connect the computer where the application is running to the DiGiGrid interface using a simple Ethernet cable.. For these users, the IOS interfaces are available as primary units., JOKE, IOC from SWI, depending on whether only signal transport or transport and processing is required.

For your part, DiGiGrid DLS or DLI interfaces are available to Pro Tools HD users, that not only provide access to a whole world of signal transport and/or processing based on DiGiGrid devices and Waves SoundGrid servers, but offer Digilink connectivity to work with Pro Tools interfaces (such as HD IO and other devices).

MADI devices

Regarding users of MADI devices, They have MGB interfaces (MADI coaxial a SoundGrid) y MGO (Not óptico a soundgrid), that allow you to carry 128 outbound channels and others 128 return (64 round-trip channels 64 back to 96 Khz), what allows, For example, recording all input channels of the mixing system to an ASIO DAW, as well as multichannel playback from an ASIO DAW to the mixing system.

Another possibility is the addition of a SoundGrid DSP server and Waves Multirack software, with which these could be sent 128 channels for processing and subsequent return to the mixing console, that is to say, that any system or mixing console with a digital or optical MADI bus now has software processing possibilities that were unimaginable until recently..
