Waves CA2000
Waves CA2000 is designed to dramatically improve audio quality and clarity in AV installations. It integrates easily
into an audio system using Dante®audio networking.
The CA2000 can process up to 64 bidirectional (64x64) audio channels. The DSP processing engine uses the
Waves SuperRack application, which is fully integrated to run natively on the CA2000.
There are seventeen audio processing presets, each designed for professional AV installations, are included; they
address challenges of playback quality, speech intelligibility, feedback suppression, and voice processing without
loss of tonality, among others. The presets are based on over two dozen low-latency Waves premium plugins. They
can be used with their factory settings or modified and saved as user presets for quick access to your custom
settings.
Dante network audio channels are supported through the integrated Dante Virtual Soundcard driver (DVS), and
audio can be routed easily to and from the CA2000 using the Dante network controller.
The CA2000 is physically rugged and operationally robust and is designed for surface or rack-mount installations.
The hardware features include:
Intel®i5 8500 Processor
16 GB DDR4 RAM
256 GB SSD internal storage
2 HDMI ports, 1 DisplayPort
2 Ethernet ports (one EtherCON connector and one RJ45 connector)
8 USB-2/USB-3 ports, 1 USB-C port
Rack-mountable case, 2U half-rack

Setup Guide
Follow these steps to prepare the CA2000 for operation in an AV installation with a Dante network audio.
HARDWARE CONNECTIONS
1. Connect the power cables to mains. For the computer and all devices use the enclosed power cables.
2. Connect the keyboard and mouse (used for CA2000 setup and configuration).
3. Connect one of the LAN Ethernet ports to the switch on the Dante audio network.
4. Connect up to two displays to the video ports. There is one HDMI port and one DisplayPort.
WAVES CA2000 SOFTWARE
The Waves CA2000 comes with the software activated and is ready to use. The following applications are
included with the Waves CA2000 system:
•Waves SuperRack
•Audinate Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS)
Waves plugins that are used in the Waves CA preset library are installed and activated on the CA2000.
Routing Setup
All devices should be properly connected and powered on. The CA2000 will automatically load all required drivers
and software and launch SuperRack.
Channel Patching and Routing Overview
All audio channels are routed to and from the CA2000 using the Dante network. Audio channel routing is completed
using the internal rack audio patching on SuperRack and the external Dante patching, using the Dante Controller (or
another compatible routing application).

Routing Dante Channels to the CA2000 Using Dante Controller
The CA2000 appears on the Dante Controller application as a 64x64 channel device. The Routing View window is a
common way to create audio routes in Dante, as shown below. Refer to the Audinate website ( www.audinate.com)
for more information.

Routing Dante Channels to CA2000 SuperRack Channels
Now you’re ready to route the Dante channels in SuperRack. A rack must be routed to an input and an output Dante
channel. Rack input and output routing is done in the SuperRack Rack window or Overview window. In the following
example, we will route rack input from a Dante channel to a single rack in the Rack window. Use the tab at the top to
open the Rack window.
SUPERRACK CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT
Select a rack.
Click on the Input arrow. This opens the Input
Device Assignment menu.
Select an input format (e.g., mono, Stereo,
5.0).
Select an input audio channel. Note that
channels are displayed in the “Dante Virtual
Soundcard.”
Rack outputs are routed in the same manner.
Confirm the routing in the Dante Controller for the network devices that will be connected to and from the CA2000.
