AUDIO I/OS: RECORD AND MONITOR SOUND 
In the example below, the host that’s running SoundGrid Studio is connected to one SoundGrid I/O device. This enables 
input and output and provides clock.  
SOUNDGRID 1 Gb SWITCH:
 ADD SERVER AND CONNECT MULTIPLE DEVICES 
Whenever more than one device (e.g., hardware 
devices and server) you must use a 1 Gb Ethernet 
switch. With a server and at least one SoundGrid 
I/O, the SoundGrid Studio eMotion ST mixer can 
be used with real-time throughput.  
With this configuration, you can assign multiple I/O 
devices and offload plugin processing. Low-latency 
monitoring is possible through the eMotion ST 
mixer and the StudioRack plugin.
