Product Overview
SoundStudio STG-2412 is a rugged stage box with 24 analog inputs and12 line outputs. It’s designed for both stage and
studio applications. All connections on this 4U rack-mountable device are on the front panel, except the mains
connection and power switch, which are on the rear panel.
In addition to analog mic and line inputs and line outputs, there are inputs and outputs for AES, word clock, and MIDI.
There’s also a SoundGrid-compliant Ethernet port network. All device configurations including Preamp and Clock are
software controlled.
STG-2412 operates within in a SoundGrid Ethernet network, so it’s an ideal interface for the Waves eMotion LV1 or
MultiRack. The SoundGrid network can also be used with a DAW for recording.

Using STG-2412 for Mixing, Processing, and Recording
STG-2412 uses Waves SoundGrid protocol to connect to an eMotion LV1 mixer, to a MultiRack processor, and to any
DAW. A typical SoundGrid network consists of a host computer, a SoundGrid server, and I/O devices, all connected with
Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cables via a 1GB Ethernet switch.
This setup allows for LV1 mixing or MR processing and can be used in parallel a with a DAW.
Maximum distances between devices vary depending on configuration. However, maximum cable length between I/Os
and switch is usually 100 meters. When connecting the Ethernet cable to an STG-2412, make sure that the connectors
and the cable are protected from stage equipment and traffic. For SoundGrid protocol cable and switch specifications,
visit the Waves Support desk: http://www.waves.com/support.
Keep your SoundGrid network clean. Make sure that the host computer network port that you use for the SoundGrid
network is not used for other networks (such as internet).

Connect multiple SoundStudio I/O units within a SoundGrid network for a high channel count.
In this example, there are three I/O devices onstage. These are used for onstage microphones and monitoring. In the
FOH are two SoundGrid servers (one primary and one redundant) and one I/O. This example has an external control
surface and a DAW for recording.
