Hear Technologies Dante-WSG XS

Bridge - Connect Waves SoundGrid systems – LV1 or SuperRack – to Dante™ neworks 

The Hear Technologies Dante-WSG XS is a compact half-rack interface that bridges Dante™ and SoundGrid® networks, enabling seamless integration between Dante systems and Waves eMotion LV1 mixers or SuperRack systems. Supporting up to 64 channels of bidirectional audio, it provides a simple, reliable way to connect SoundGrid-based workflows to Dante infrastructures in live sound, broadcast, and installed audio environments.

Designed for portability and deployment flexibility, the Dante-WSG XS delivers the same Dante-to-SoundGrid functionality as previous bridges, in a unit that is half the size (half-rack 1U) and half the weight (only 3 lbs).

Whether you're adding Dante connectivity to an eMotion LV1 system or integrating SuperRack plugin processing into a Dante-based setup, the Dante-WSG XS makes it easy to connect, route, and manage audio between both ecosystems.

• Connect eMotion LV1 mixers to Dante networks
• Integrate SuperRack systems with Dante 
• 64 channels of audio @ 44.1–48 kHz sample rates
• 32 channels of audio @ 88.2–96 kHz sample rates
• Clock sync over Ethernet between SoundGrid and Dante
• Compact half-rack 1U design
• Lightweight at only 3 lbs
• Rugged build for touring, broadcast, and installed audio
