Frequently Asked Questions
SoundGrid’s bidirectional communication drastically reduces latency by allowing processing to happen directly within the StageGrid, minimizing round trips to the mixer.
While distances vary based on network conditions, expect reliable performance up to around 100m with properly shielded Ethernet cable – longer runs require careful planning and potentially managed switches.
The switchover is designed to be seamless; the system automatically transitions to the backup power supply with minimal to no audible interruption.
