The Most Compact and Portable Waves Processing System Yet
The slim, elegant Proton Duo combines a Waves Proton SoundGrid server, an Axis Proton Waves-customized computer, and a built-in network switch. For the first time, you can add plugin processing power and run Waves applications such as eMotion LV1 or SuperRack using the same compact device, instead of two separate devices.
Preconfigured, wired, easily rack-mountable, and ready-to-go straight out of the box, Proton Duo is designed for quick setup: Just plug it into your I/O—anytime, anywhere—and you’re ready to mix with Waves’ world-class plugin processing.
In addition to boosting your DSP power, the compact, half-rack Proton Duo is optimized to run the Waves eMotion LV1 live mixer (16-channel configuration) or the 16-channel SuperRack SoundGrid live plugin host. With server, computer and switch all rolled into one, Proton Duo delivers true power and ease of use.
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
Important note for DiGiCo SD Series users: To set-up SuperRack with DiGiCo integration when using Proton Duo with a DiGiCo SD console, please follow the instructions in this article.
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).

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.
