About the BSS SoundWeb 9088ii Networked Signal Processor
The BSS SoundWeb 9088ii is a comprehensive, networked digital signal processor (DSP) designed for complex audio system control and optimization in professional fixed installations. Representing a significant evolution in the SoundWeb London platform, this unit provides an extensive array of audio processing channels within a single 2U rack-mount chassis, making it suitable for demanding applications in performing arts centers, stadiums, houses of worship, conference facilities, and broadcast environments. The processor integrates high-fidelity audio processing with robust network connectivity, enabling it to serve as the central intelligence for system-wide audio routing, mixing, equalization, dynamics, and loudspeaker management. Its architecture is built to handle large-scale, multi-zone systems with precision and reliability.
A core strength of the 9088ii is its powerful processing capacity, offering a large, configurable matrix of inputs and outputs that can be dynamically allocated to suit virtually any system topology. It features a suite of processing blocks, including parametric and graphic EQs, crossovers, delays, compressors, limiters, and AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation), all of which are accessible and configurable through intuitive, drag-and-drop software. The unit is equipped with both analog and digital audio interfaces, including Dante digital audio networking as a standard feature, facilitating seamless integration into modern AV-over-IP systems and allowing for flexible, scalable signal distribution over a standard Ethernet infrastructure.
Control and monitoring are managed through the dedicated SoundWeb London Designer software, which provides a graphical environment for system design, real-time control, and detailed diagnostics. The processor supports control via third-party systems like Crestron and AMX, and can be managed from dedicated hardware remotes or custom user interfaces. Built for 24/7 operation, the 9088ii features high-quality analog-to-digital conversion, redundant power supplies, and comprehensive fault monitoring. By combining immense processing power with open-architecture network flexibility, the BSS SoundWeb 9088ii provides system designers with a future-proof, highly reliable platform for creating and managing sophisticated, high-performance audio systems.
