Hear Technologies WSG Bridge

I/O: Dante network I/O and Waves SoundGrid network I/O (bridges the two protocols); modular MADI card option available (WSGMA64) with optional fiber-optic SFP module for redundant MADI connectivity

Notes: MAJOR FLAGS: (1) Manufactured by Hear Technologies but sold/marketed jointly through Waves Audio (product page lives on waves.com, not heartechnologies.com, though it is still linked from Hear Technologies' own Products navigation as of this research). (2) AVAILABILITY UNCERTAIN: one dealer (Acclaim Music) lists this SKU (SGBRI-SG) as "Discontinued - EOL" with no price and "please call for pricing," while it remains listed as a current product link on Hear Technologies' own site navigation — included here as in-scope per the manufacturer's own current site listing, but end-of-life status should be verified before relying on this in a live catalog. (3) device_class judgment call: none of the allowed categories cleanly describe a cross-protocol network bridge; chosen Stagebox / Expander as the closest fit (I/O/network expander) over AD/DA Converter, even though the manufacturer's own spec-sheet PDF title calls it a "64-Channel Modular Audio Converter" (it converts/bridges network protocols, not analog-to-digital). country_of_manufacture left blank given the Waves co-branding/uncertain manufacturing arrangement. price_usd left blank: one source (Acclaim) explicitly has no price/EOL; a separate web-search-derived figure of $2,999 MSRP could not be corroborated against a directly-fetched, live manufacturer or major-dealer page, and conflicts with the EOL listing, so blank was chosen per golden rule. Typical latency per manufacturer: 0.787ms@44.1kHz, 0.778ms@48kHz, 0.580ms@88.2kHz, 0.520ms@96kHz. Supports two external power supplies for redundancy.
