WINTER
NAMM SHOW, ANAHEIM, CA, January 15, 2010 — Waves
Audio, a leading provider of digital signal processing software
and hardware solutions, and DiGiCo,
the renowned UK-based manufacturer of some of the world's most
popular, successful and groundbreaking digital mixing consoles,
have announced a technology agreement. The joint announcement
was made today at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California,
by Mick Olesh, Waves Executive VP, Sales and Marketing, and DiGiCo
Managing Director James Gordon and DiGiCo Marketing Director David
Webster.
Waves
and DiGiCo have agreed to work together to integrate Waves’
new SoundGrid technology into DiGiCo's single FPGA Stealth Digital
Processing products for the live sound industry. Further details
about this strategic alliance are to be unveiled over 2010.
Commenting
on the agreement, Olesh stated, “DiGiCo has always been
on the forefront in digital mixing technology. Their consoles
have been acknowledged as an industry leader, and everyone at
Waves is extremely excited to be able to work with their R&D
team. We look forward to a close working relationship.”
“The
arrival of Waves’ Sound Grid is a big step in the plug-in
world. Its impressive lack of latency and access to existing plug-ins
made it the only choice for DiGiCo,” added DiGiCo managing
director James Gordon. “When you think of plug-ins, you
think of Waves. In the future, we hope that DiGiCo control will
be the next name that comes to mind.”
