Stage or Studio: Process with Hundreds of Plugins in Real Time
Updated with a 10th-generation Intel® Core™ CPU, sleek industrial design, and brand-new features, this powerful yet compact DSP unit effortlessly processes hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible plugins in real time for live shows or the studio—with latency as low as 0.8 milliseconds.
This next-gen Extreme server features a new, elegant industrial design built for durability. With its robust 2U chassis, Extreme Server-C is only half the width of a standard 19-inch rack. Rack-mount one server using rack ears, or for redundancy, mount two units side-by-side on a rack shelf.
Extreme Server-C has LED indicators for easy network and temperature monitoring, sturdy RAM positioning for reliability, and delivers a mixing experience that can withstand the challenges of any setup. It even fits right inside your carry-on—now you can take your mixing to the extreme, wherever you go.
NEW: LEDs for easy network and temperature monitoring
Adds massive processing power to your system
Rugged Neutrik etherCon connector
Ultra-low latency: as low as 0.8 milliseconds at 44.1 – 96 kHz
NEW: Enhanced with sturdy RAM positioning for added reliability

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.
Extreme-C SoundGrid Server (X10 onwards) is not compatible with the following applications:
eMotion LV1 V9, MultiRack SoundGrid V9, SoundGrid Studio V9, SG Rack for VENUE V9 and V10
