AoIP-WSG
AoIP-WSG Getting started
1. Introduction
The WING SoundGrid module transmits up to 64 input and 64 output channels at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz and 24 bits over either of the Ethernet ports on the rear panel in
the CONTROL/AUDIO NETWORK section. Interconnected devices are also synchronized over the Ethernet connection.
2. Installation
Waves plug-ins can be used on the WING by installing a SoundGrid module inside the console. Note that the installation procedure must only be performed by certified
service centers. Check behringer.com for your closest service provider.
To activate the module, hold down UTILITY while turning on the console. The CONSOLE OPTIONS dialog will open automatically. Enter "MOD-WSG" and click on APPLY.
After the internal module has been installed, the two Ethernet ports on the rear panel act as a dual-redundant connection. Each port transmits 64 input and
64 output channels.

3. Network Setup
Single connection
Different network setups are possible, depending on the user's needs. The simplest setup can be seen below in Fig. 1, consisting of WING console connected directly to
a computer with an Ethernet cable.

In this setup, the Waves SoundGrid software must allow the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to be carried out by the host computer without the need for a Waves DSP
server. Please refer to the documentation provided by Waves to compare SoundGrid software specifications.
Multiple connections
Multiple SoundGrid-compatible devices like Waves servers and interfaces can be added by configuring a "star" network in which all devices are interconnected by a
1 Gigabit Ethernet switch (Fig. 2). Please refer to Waves' documentation for a list of compatible switches.

4. Direct routing of Sources to SoundGrid
After connecting the devices in one of the configurations described above, the WING console and all other devices in the network are shown in the SETUP tab in the
SoundGrid software.
