SoundGrid is an Audio-over-Ethernet networking and processing technology developed by Waves. SoundGrid provides extremely low-latency, high-channel-count audio processing using standard Intel CPUs and 1 Gbps Ethernet networks for studio, live sound, and other real-time professional audio applications.


With the release of the Oxford v3 plug-ins, we are beginning to add compatibility between Sonnox and the Waves SoundGrid architecture. This currently applies to the following plug-ins:

  • Oxford EQ
  • Oxford Dynamics
  • Oxford Reverb
  • Oxford Inflator
  • Oxford Limiter
  • Oxford TransMod
  • Oxford SuprEsser DS


For the first time, your new SoundGrid licence can be held on a separate iLok device to your Native/HDX licences. This development simplifies your workflow by allowing you to use your SoundGrid plug-ins on the road and Native versions in the studio. Both iLok devices must be registered to the same iLok account.
