WAVES Hear Technologies Dante-WSG XS

The Dante-WSG XS brings two of audio’s most widely adopted ecosystems together in a format that is compact and uncomplicated. Designed by Hear Technologies in collaboration with Waves, it creates a seamless bridge between Dante networks and SoundGrid processing, giving engineers a compact, reliable way to integrate Waves’ real-time plugin environment into modern audio infrastructures. Supporting up to 64 channels of bidirectional audio at 44.1–48 kHz, the Dante-WSG XS delivers professional-grade connectivity without demanding additional rack space or complexity. Built for Modern Workflows As Dante continues to define networked audio across live sound, broadcast and installed systems, flexibility has become just as important as performance. The Dante-WSG XS enables engineers to move effortlessly between platforms, connecting SoundGrid servers, LV1 systems and SuperRack environments directly into Dante-based workflows. The result is a streamlined signal path that preserves the low-latency performance SoundGrid is known for while expanding integration possibilities across increasingly connected production environments. Compact by Design Not every production has the luxury of spare rack space. With its half-rack footprint and lightweight construction, the Dante-WSG XS is designed for flypacks, touring systems, portable production rigs and installations where efficiency matters. Its reduced form factor makes deployment easier without compromising capability, offering the same professional bridge between Dante and SoundGrid in a package that feels purpose-built for contemporary workflows. Confidence in Every Connection The best technology disappears into the background, allowing engineers to focus entirely on the mix. Supporting up to 64 channels of bidirectional audio at standard sample rates and 32 channels at higher sample rates, the Dante-WSG XS delivers dependable network performance with the stability required for demanding live and installed environments. It is a straightforward solution to a complex challenge, bringing together the power of Waves processing and the ubiquity of Dante in a way that feels natural, efficient and ready for the next production.
