Have a question?
One-C is a compact, lightweight and durable DSP unit, custom-designed and optimized to relieve your computer of plugin processing. Run hundreds of Waves plugins in real time, live or in the studio — using only half the width of a standard rack.

Whether you're mixing a live show or tracking overdubs in the studio, real-time plugin processing is a must. The One-C server gives you exactly that and does it at lightning-fast speeds: latency as low as 0.8 ms at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.

The latest generation of Waves’s SoundGrid servers boasts a new sleek industrial design built for elegance and durability. One-C now features LED indicators for easy network and temperature monitoring, plus sturdy RAM positioning that secures your mixing experience wherever you are.

One-C is fitted into a rugged all-metal 2U casing which is only half the width of a standard 19-inch rack. You can rack-mount a single server using rack ears, or mount two servers side-by-side using a rack shelf.

Small enough so you can easily take it with you to any production or session, the One-C server allows you to mix plugin-rich sessions anywhere you go.

SuperRack & MultiRack Benchmarks

Benchmarks listed as per devices sold prior to Feb 2022. Final benchmarks for new generation devices TBD.

The table below indicates the number of plugin racks and plugins that can be inserted into SuperRack or MultiRack and loaded to the One-C SoundGrid Server before the system reaches DSP overload (85%) or fails to play audio fluently (clicks, dropouts, corruption).

The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (64 MultiRacks) for either mono or stereo. Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.

* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter.

** Plugin introduces high latency.

The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (mono) or 256 (stereo) (64 or 32 StudioRacks, respectively). Plugin benchmark results may vary slightly from one system setup to another. While most plugins perform most efficiently at 44.1 kHz, a few perform as or even more efficiently at 96 kHz thanks to their upsampling or to algorithms that do not depend on sample rates.

* Plugin’s peak DSP usage level is much higher than its average level. Make sure to monitor peak levels on the DSP meter in the eMotion ST mixer.
