Mounting the APA44-M unit  
For desktop use, attach the four rubber feet to the bottom of the  
APA44-M before connecting it.  
Alternatively, you can mount a single APA44-M or two units in a  
standard 19" studio rack-mount using the APA44-M Rackmount  
Adapter Kit (not supplied) which can be obtained through your Waves  
dealer.  
If you intend to use the Rackmount Adapter Kit, do not attach the  
rubber feet to the APA44-M unit, or detach them if you already have.  
1. Introduction  
Welcome to the APA44-M manual. Be sure to read the safety  
considerations on page 1 of this manual before you plug-in and switch  
on the APA44-M's power.  
The Waves Audio Processing Accelerator is a hardware platform  
designed to provide independent processing resources for Waves  
plug-ins running on a host computer.  
This manual focuses on the APA44-M hardware connection and  
operation aspects. All software aspects are covered in the software  
manuals supplied via the Waves software installers or through  
download from the Waves website.

2. Connecting The APA44-M unit  
2.1. Mains Power Supply  
The DC power cable socket is located on the rear panel of the  
APA44-M unit.  
The supplied external power adapter is auto-switching and supports an  
input of 100-240V, 50-60Hz. Use only the supplied power adapter.  
Plug the power adapter’s DC cable into the APA44-M power socket  
and then plug the supplied AC power cable into the power adapter’s  
AC socket and to your electricity connection.

2.2. Network Connection  
The network cable connection is located at the back of the APA44-M.  
There are two possible ways to connect the APA44-M unit to your host  
computer:  
1. Direct connection to the host computer’s Ethernet socket using the  
supplied crossed Ethernet cable.  
2. If you intend to connect more than one APA44-M unit to your host  
computer, you will need to connect the APA44-M units to an  
Ethernet switch* (not a hub) and connect the switch to your host  
computer using standard (non-crossed) Ethernet cables.  
If you connect more than one APA44-M unit to your host computer, the  
Ethernet card in your host computer needs to be 1Gbit bandwidth  
based in order to support the required network communication  
bandwidth.  
Important Note:  
It is possible to connect the APA44-M unit(s) to an existing Ethernet  
switch used to connect your host computer to other network  
applications.  
However, due to bandwidth and other network considerations it is  
highly recommended to separate networks and to connect your  
APA44-M unit(s) to a dedicated Ethernet card.  
Following this recommendation will ensure fulfilling the maximum  
power and potential of your APA44-M unit(s).  
*For switch requirements and specifications please check the Waves website.

3. Operation  
Once the APA44-M unit is connected to power and to the network,  
simply press the power button on the front panel to switch the unit on.  
The power LED will illuminate to indicate that the unit is operating.  
The APA44-M is now ready to communicate with your host computer.  
To switch the APA44-M unit off, press and hold the power button on  
the front panel for approximately 4 seconds. The power LED should  
switch off to indicate that the unit is off.  
Before switching the APA44-M off, make sure that the Waves software  
is not running on it (as explained in the software manual).

4. Troubleshooting  
Please verify the following points before trying to use the Waves  
software on the APA44-M unit:  
1. The DC power cable is properly connected to the APA44-M.  
2. The AC power cable is properly connected to the power adapter  
and to the mains. The power adapter’s green LED is on.  
3. Network connections:  
a. A crossed network cable is connected between the  
APA44-M and the host computer – in the case of  
connecting a single APA44-M directly to the host  
computer.  
b. A standard network cable is connected between the  
APA44-M and an Ethernet switch. The switch is connected  
with a standard network cable to the host computer – in  
the case of connecting several APA44-M units to the host  
computer.  
4. The APA44-M is switched on (by pressing the power button at the  
front) and the power LED is illuminating.  
In case it is necessary to restart the APA44-M unit, press and hold the  
power button for a few seconds to switch the unit off, and then press it  
again to switch the unit on.
