BSS is a professional audio technology brand specialising in digital signal processing (DSP), audio networking and system control. Through Planetworld, BSS forms part of our professional and installed audio offering for AV integrators, consultants and commercial projects.

A BSS DSP acts as the intelligence behind a professional audio system. It can manage functions such as audio routing, mixing, equalisation, delays, processing and system logic, helping integrators optimise how audio performs throughout a space.

BSS is designed primarily for installed professional AV environments and can be used across corporate spaces, hospitality, education, entertainment venues, houses of worship, auditoriums and other multi-zone or complex audio installations.

Soundweb is BSS's family of networked audio processing and control solutions. The portfolio includes the established Soundweb London platform as well as the newer Soundweb OMNI platform, providing options for different sizes and generations of professional AV systems.

Yes. BSS systems can be configured to route and process audio across multiple areas, with different sources, volume levels and processing requirements for individual zones. This makes BSS particularly relevant to larger commercial and hospitality environments.

Yes. Selected BSS products support technologies including Dante and AES67, while the Soundweb ecosystem also includes BSS's BLU link digital audio bus. The appropriate networking technology will depend on the system being designed

Yes. BSS offers dedicated controllers and user interfaces that can give users straightforward control over functions such as volume and source selection while keeping the more complex system processing behind the scenes.

Yes. BSS Soundweb systems are designed for integration into wider AV environments, with support for third-party control systems and interfaces. This allows BSS processing to form part of a larger integrated AV and control solution.

The right BSS solution depends on factors such as the number of audio inputs and outputs, number of zones, required processing, network architecture, control requirements and the size and complexity of the installation. Planetworld works with professional AV integrators and consultants who can specify the appropriate solution for each project.

BSS solutions are available through Planetworld's professional AV channel in South Africa. Our specialist dealer and integration network can assist with product selection, system design and the implementation of BSS technology as part of a complete professional or installed audio solution.
