The BSS Soundweb OMNI 256p Open Architecture Digital Signal Processor is the most powerful enterprise-grade processor ever developed by BSS. With processing capability that surpasses previous BSS products, the all-new design ensures the seamless handling of today’s most complex installations to be future-ready to meet the evolving needs of tomorrow.

The 256p features 256x256 at up to 96kHz Dante/AES67 networked audio channels; enterprise-grade network security support; an onboard scripting engine developed by AMX; 24/48kHz and 24/96kHz supported bit depth/sample rates; 8 GPIO ports (fully flexible); 80 AEC channels; 32 VoIP lines; high precision word clock and BNC clock (in/out); dual redundant power supplies, Dante and HControl; 128 channel internal media player with 500GB SSD; full-color, interactive front panel LCD; and more.

Every GPIO port is format (analog or digital) and directionally (input or output) configurable. Any channel can also be configured to function as a digital binary, to provide 0 or 5 volts, or configured to receive or send any voltage between 0 and 12 volts. The Soundweb OMNI family also includes two I/O Expanders, the 32e and 16e, which provide unparalleled I/O flexibility as needed.

The integrated 128 channel internal media player facilitates the playback of pre-recorded audio files directly from an internal 500GB SSD. This is useful for announcements, paging chimes, advertisements, background soundscapes, and more. Supporting up to 80 AEC channels and 32 VoIP lines, the 256p provides seamless integration capability with building phone systems to ensure efficient and reliable communication.

The onboard scripting engine allows previous generation BSS Soundweb Contrio EC wall controller devices to control new Soundweb OMNI devices, while also allowing new AVX software to integrate previous generation BSS Soundweb London DSPs and Crown DCi amplifiers into a unified custom UI, directly alongside Soundweb OMNI.
