Introduction
Connections
LV1 can assign and patch to up to 16 I/O devices: any combination of hardware I/Os and drivers.
• A hardware I/O device can have up to 128 I/O channels, depending on the model.
• Computers using a SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver can be configured for up to 128 driver channels.
Use a SoundGrid Ethernet switch and Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 Ethernet cables to connect all hardware components. Note which of the host
computer’s Ethernet ports is being used for the SoundGrid network. This port can be used only for the SoundGrid network. Do not attach
an Internet or other network connection to the Ethernet switch. Use another port for these purposes.

Cat 5 cables are not supported.
Joints, or cable extenders, can be used, but with care, since some models do not have electrically connected shielding. Using such
extenders in areas with interference may be problematic. Total cable length with the joint may not exceed the above maximum cable
length per node. Additional joints may reduce the effective cable runs.
