Waves | Proton Duo Proton server and Axis Proton computer in one device

• Proton server and Axis Proton computer in one compact unit
• Server adds plugin processing power to your system
• Designed for compact systems at 48 kHz
• Use rack ears to mount in rack system, or place on a rack shelf
• Only 1U half-rack—small enough to fit in carry-on, or a backpack
• Computer that’s optimized for running Waves applications
• Ultra-low latency: only 0.8 milliseconds at 48 kHz
• Use with SoundGrid I/O for real-time plugin processing
• Quiet design, with minimal fan noise
• Built-in multiport network switch for added convenience
• 4GB RAM (Proton server), 8GB RAM (Axis Proton computer)
• Intel^® Celeron^® processor, with 256 HDD internal storage
• 3x HDMI, 5x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, 5x RJ45 Ethernet ports
• Windows 10 operating system included
• Connects to SoundGrid systems with a single Ethernet cable
• Free 6-month warranty, extended warranties available

• SuperRack Benchmarks

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

  Configuration (all stereo Racks)	Plugins	Sample Rate	SGS buffer size	Results
  				CPU Peak	CPU Average	Instances
  16 Racks	C6	48 kHz	40	83	78	59
  	CLA2A	48 kHz	40	83	78	128
  	DBX160	48 kHz	40	79	75	29
  	Ren Channel	48 kHz	40	37	41	128
  	SSL E-Channel	48 kHz	40	41	39	128
  	H-Reverb	48 kHz	40	80	42	9
  	H-Delay	48 kHz	40	39	37	128
  	Ren-Verb	48 kHz	40	85	74	64
  	F6	48 kHz	40	84	79	76
  	J37	48 kHz	40	80	67	36

  The maximum number of plugins that can be tested given system limitations is 512 (64 racks) 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.
