BSS OMNI 512p 512-Channel DSP with Dante and AES67
The BSS OMNI 512p is a professional-grade networked audio processor engineered for large-scale live sound, broadcast, and installed venue systems demanding real-time DSP control and seamless integration with modern audio-over-IP infrastructure. This rack-mounted unit delivers exceptional processing power in a compact 3.5U footprint, making it the workhorse choice for touring rigs, festival grounds, broadcast facilities, and enterprise communications environments where channel count and reliability are non-negotiable.
Processing & Networking Architecture
With 512×512 networked audio channels at up to 96 kHz over Dante and AES67, the 512p handles massive channel counts without compromise. The unit supports 160 AEC channels for advanced echo cancellation and 64 VoIP lines, making it exceptionally versatile for mixed live sound, broadcast, and teleconference applications where simultaneous audio streams are the norm—critical for touring engineers managing multiple input and output buses across complex rigs.
Built-In Media & Control Capabilities
An integrated 128-channel media player with 1TB SSD eliminates the need for external playback devices, while the full-color interactive LCD front panel provides immediate access to mixing, routing, and device monitoring on the fly. Eight fully flexible GPIO ports (configurable as analog or digital, input or output) and dual redundant power supplies ensure reliable operation in mission-critical live and installed environments.
Key Features
- 512×512 Dante/AES67 networked audio channels at up to 96 kHz

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 512×512 Dante/AES67 networking mean for my system?
The 512p can simultaneously handle up to 512 channels of audio input and 512 channels of output over standard networked audio protocols (Dante and AES67), all running at up to 96 kHz. This allows you to build massive distributed audio systems without dedicated multi-pair analog cabling or external routers.
Does it include built-in audio playback, or do I need external media devices?
The 512p includes a 128-channel internal media player with 1TB SSD storage, eliminating the need for external playback devices. You can load and trigger audio files directly from the unit's front-panel LCD interface.
What does AEC (echo cancellation) do, and why 160 channels?
AEC (automatic echo cancellation) removes feedback and reflections in real-time, essential for teleconference, broadcast, and live streaming applications. 160 channels provide independent echo cancellation on a large number of simultaneous communication or mixed audio streams.
Is this unit suitable for small venues or home recording?
No—the 512p is engineered for large-scale broadcast, touring, and installed venues requiring hundreds of simultaneous networked audio channels. Small venues and home recording setups would be under-utilizing its capability and cost.
What happens if power fails—is there backup?
The 512p includes dual redundant power supplies to ensure continuous operation in mission-critical environments. It also features high-precision word clock and BNC clock in/out for master timing control across networked devices.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. On this item that is roughly $2,524 less out the door than the same listed price at a national retailer or on a marketplace. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included. Some states ask buyers to self-report use tax on out-of-state purchases.
