Product Information
The BSS Soundweb OMNI 16e Open Architecture I/O Expander offers the ability to onramp and offramp Analog/AES3 to/from Soundweb OMNI 512p and 256p Digital Signal Processors. The 16e converts these signals to and from Dante/AES67 for processing by Soundweb OMNI DSPs. 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 16e features 4x4x4 Analog or 8x8x8 AES3 audio channels; 16×16 Dante/AES67 networked audio output channels; 12 GPIO ports (fully flexible); enterprise-grade network security; studio quality 60dB microphone pre-amp on all inputs; high resolution DAC and ADC, primary and secondary Dante connections, redundant HControl ports; full-color, front panel LCD with metering; stereo AES3 on every audio connector; and more.
Each audio I/O port on Soundweb OMNI I/O Expanders is format configurable as either analog or stereo AES3 and four of the audio I/O ports are also configurable to be either inputs or outputs. All GPIO ports are configurable as either input or output ports, and their format can be either analog or digital.
With support for centralized or distributed DSP topologies, system integrators can add as many Soundweb OMNI processors to a single project file as needed, while still enjoying the simplicity of a single canvas for device configuration.
HARMAN’s HControl protocol, a human-readable, standards-based, developer-friendly API is also supported. It offers an intuitive, flexible, and powerful alternative to other protocols to support developers working at any scale.
Soundweb OMNI systems are configured, controlled, and monitored with the AVX software suite through two user-friendly applications. AVX Architect is a desktop app for system diagramming, device configuration, network management, and custom UI design. An unlimited number of processors and expanders can be added to a single project file. AVX Control is a lightweight app offering easy access to custom UIs for controlling and monitoring Soundweb OMNI devices, via Windows, iOS, macOS, Android, and AMX Varia touch panels. These custom UIs also work with Crown DCi amplifiers and previous generation Soundweb London devices.
Built on decades of innovation, BSS Soundweb OMNI is a highly scalable and flexible DSP solution. Combining powerful hardware, intuitive software, and developer-friendly features, it effortlessly scales to meet the needs of any installed application. Experience BSS Soundweb OMNI, the new standard in open architecture DSP.
