SoundGrid Server One

Ideal for live and studio mixing, this powerful DSP unit will free up your computer and let you run high plugin counts in real time and super-low latency.

With SoundGrid Server One, you can mix and track with as many as hundreds of plugins at a time and be as creative as you want to be, without limiting yourself to the processing capabilities of your computer.

Housed in a rugged, road-ready rack-mountable 2U chassis, SoundGrid Server One is a serious upgrade to any live or studio system, enhancing your plugin processing power session after session, night after night.


  • Adds massive processing power to your system
  • Super-low latency: as low as 0.8 milliseconds at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz
  • 8 GB RAM
  • CPU: Intel® Skylake i5
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B150N-GSM
  • LAN Card: Intel On-Board
  • Minimal fan noise: fan speed auto-adjusts based on CPU temperature
  • Rugged Neutrik Ethercon connector 
  • LED status indicator for easy identification of the server
