BSS Soundweb OMNI Product Family

BSS Audio has revolutionised open architecture digital signal processing with the launch of its all-new, next-generation Soundweb OMNI platform. Featuring the most powerful processor ever introduced by BSS, Soundweb OMNI sets a new standard in open architecture DSP and caters to the diverse needs of hospitality, large venues, corporate, education and government installations.

The Soundweb OMNI family combines enterprise-grade processors, flexible I/O expanders, Dante/AES67 networked audio, an onboard scripting engine developed by AMX, and a vast library of processing objects, including media playback, AEC, VoIP, and more.

For over 40 years, BSS has been a leader in signal processing innovation with legendary products like the DPR-402 Compressor/Limiter, VARICURVE digitally controlled analog equalizer, and OMNIDRIVE loudspeaker management system. BSS revolutionised digital signal processing with the Soundweb Original and Soundweb London series, found in prestigious installations worldwide.

Building on this legacy, BSS introduces Soundweb OMNI, the next generation in open architecture DSP. With powerful processors, flexible I/O expanders, and advanced features like Dante/AES67 audio, media playback, AEC, VoIP, and more, Soundweb OMNI meets the diverse needs of hospitality, large venues, corporate, education, and government installations. Managed through the new AVX Architect and AVX Control software suite, it offers centralised or distributed DSP, high audio fidelity, and developer-friendly API support.

Soundweb OMNI features flagship processing devices (512p and 256p) and I/O expansion devices (32e and 16e), delivering exceptional DSP power and flexibility. With format-configurable audio I/O and easily managed software, it surpasses previous generations to meet today's complex AV/IT demands.

The AVX software suite streamlines the configuration, control, and monitoring of Soundweb OMNI systems through two user-friendly applications. AVX Architect is a desktop software app for system diagramming, device configuration, network management, and custom UI design. AVX Architect allows users to add an unlimited number of processors and expanders to a single project file, while still enjoying the simplicity of a true, single canvas for device configuration. AVX Control is a lightweight software app, which provides easy access to custom UIs for controlling and monitoring devices across a multitude of platforms, including Windows, iOS, Android, and AMX Varia touch panels. These custom UIs work not only with Soundweb OMNI devices, but also Crown DCi amplifiers and previous generation Soundweb London devices, thanks to protocol-bridging technology developed by AMX.

Built on decades of innovation, BSS Soundweb OMNI is scalable and flexible, setting a new standard in open architecture DSP. Experience the future of signal processing with BSS Soundweb OMNI.

Soundweb OMNI represents the most powerful DSP available from BSS, with processing capability that surpasses previous BSS DSP products. The all-new engineering design ensures the seamless handling of today’s most complex installations and positions Soundweb OMNI to be future-ready to meet the evolving needs of tomorrow.

Choice of Centralised or Distributed DSP Topologies

Centralised and distributed DSP topologies each come with distinct advantages. Instead of dictating a topology, Soundweb OMNI supports both, allowing system designers the freedom to choose the topology that best aligns with the specific requirements of each project.

One Project, Infinite Devices

System integrators can add as many Soundweb OMNI processors and expanders to a single project file as needed, while still enjoying the simplicity of a single canvas for device configuration. Regardless of DSP topology or device count, AVX Architect software provides a centralized workspace, streamlining the process of constructing, maintaining, and troubleshooting even the most complex DSP designs.

AVX Software Suite

Through user-friendly applications, the AVX software suite streamlines Soundweb OMNI system configuration, control, and monitoring. The AVX Architect app simplifies system diagramming, device configuration, network management, and custom UI design while the AVX Control app enables easy access to custom UIs for controlling and monitoring devices across a multitude of platforms, including Windows, iOS, Android, and AMX Varia touch panels.

Modernised 3rd Party Control API

Soundweb OMNI devices leverage HARMAN's new HControl protocol, a human-readable, standards-based, developer-friendly API. This intuitive, flexible, and powerful alternative to other protocols positions it as the preferred choice for developers working at any scale.

Dante Spoken Here

Audinate’s Dante audio networking is the world’s most universally adopted networked audio technology, used extensively for commercial installations, live performances, recording and production, and more. Soundweb OMNI ships with its full Dante channel count capability, up to 512x512 to ensure immediate, seamless compatibility with the complete Dante ecosystem.

Private and Public Dante Support

For native-AVX devices such as Soundweb OMNI, integrators can easily create "Private" Dante streams simply by drawing wires between processing objects allocated across devices. This streamlines the device configuration process by allowing AVX Architect to build and protect Dante routes, without the need for external Dante Controller software. This also visually simplifies the layout of otherwise complex DSP designs. For interfacing non-AVX devices, the standard "Public" Dante toolset ensures full compatibility with the entire Dante ecosystem.

128-Channel Internal Media Player

Soundweb OMNI 512p and 256p processors are equipped with a robust 128-channel internal media player, facilitating the playback of pre-recorded audio files directly from an internal 1TB or 500GB SSD. This is useful for announcements, paging chimes, advertisements, background soundscapes, and more.

AEC and VoIP Equipped

Supporting up to 160 AEC channels and 64 VoIP lines, Soundweb OMNI processors provide seamless integration capability with building phone systems to ensure efficient and reliable communication.

Highest Quality Microphone Preamp

BSS products have earned a renowned reputation for exceptional sound quality, and Soundweb OMNI I/O expansion devices showcase this legacy with the highest quality solid-state microphone preamp ever crafted by HARMAN.

Multi O/S Platforms

AVX Control software is cross-compatible with a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows, Android, iOS, and AMX Varia touch panels, offering versatile options for a diverse user base.

Onboard AMX MUSE Technology

The same technology developed by AMX for the robust MUSE Automation Platform can run natively on Soundweb OMNI devices, inheriting the same protocol bridging and scripting capabilities as AMX MUSE devices. To simplify the upgrade path for existing BSS and Crown users, this technology allows previous generation BSS Soundweb Contrio EC wall controller devices to control new Soundweb OMNI devices, while also allowing new AVX Architect and AVX Control software to integrate previous generation BSS Soundweb London DSPs and Crown DCi amplifiers into a unified custom UI, directly alongside Soundweb OMNI. This technology also provides control system programmers with a sophisticated scripting toolkit for interfacing with third-party devices and APIs.
