The BSS Soundweb OMNI 16e I/O Expander offers the ability to onramp and offramp Analog or AES3 to and from the IP audio network. The 16e converts these signals to Dante or AES67 for processing by Soundweb OMNI DSPs or transport to compatible devices.
The 16e features 4 audio input ports, 4 audio output ports, and 4 audio flex ports, which can be configured as either inputs or outputs. Each of those input, output, and flex ports can be individually configured to support analog or stereo AES3 audio, enabling a wide variety of I/O combinations. Every input and flex port provides a studio quality 60dB microphone pre-amp, and every port utilizes a high-resolution DAC and ADC. Additionally, the 16e provides 16x16 Dante/AES67 networked audio channels
Engineered for the most critical applications, the 16e delivers enterprise-grade network security, primary and secondary Dante ports, redundant HControl ports, a full-color front panel LCD with metering for at-a-glance monitoring, and 12 fully flexible GPIO ports.
Soundweb OMNI solutions are designed, configured, controlled, and managed all within a tightly integrated collection of applications called AVX Suite. This suite of applications creates a streamlined workflow for all aspects of solution development, control, and support.
Extreme I/O Flexibility
Each audio I/O port on Soundweb OMNI I/O Expanders is format configurable as either analog or stereo AES3 and certain 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.
