Waves SoundGrid Extreme Server-C DSP Unit Waves Audio has released the SoundGrid Extreme Server-C, a plug-in processing server for both studio and live applications. Designed to be compact and powerful but light and robust, this DSP unit can process hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible plug-ins in real time, live or in the studio, taking half the width of a standard rack. The SoundGrid Extreme Server-C allows users to mix live shows or track overdubs in the studio with real-time plug-in processing. This is possible thanks to its ultra-low latency: as low as 0.8 ms at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. With a 2U chassis, the Extreme Server-C is half the width of a standard 19-in. rack. One server can be rack-mounted using rack ears, or doubled up for redundancy with two units side-by-side using one rack shelf. Additionally, the Extreme Server-C fits inside carry-on luggage.

Proel S Series Subwoofers Proel has released the S Series of compact and powerful subwoofers designed to complement the com- pany’s full-range speakers. The S Series includes 10-, 12-, 15-, and 18-in. models. All of the S models feature high- excursion woofers in a hybrid band pass (HBP) configuration. This design provides a higher efficiency compared to direct radiation subwoofers and creates a better coupling of the tuning ducts with the external air, reducing the distortion and the air turbulence for a more defined sound and deep and punchy lows. The new class D amplifier modules with SMPS (switch mode power sup- ply) can generate a large amount of continuous power in a compact, lightweight, and reliable package (up to 1,200 W for the 18-in. unit). All the modules include a stereo preamp section and 24dB/oct. crossover filters with selectable frequency and PHASE reverse switch.
