BSS 256p 256 channel DSP w/Dante and AES67

BSS 256p 256 Channel DSP with Dante and AES67

The BSS 256p is a powerhouse networked audio processor designed for professional studios, facilities, and networked audio environments that demand massive channel counts and rock-solid reliability. This compact 3.5U rack unit handles 256×256 channels of Dante/AES67 networked audio while delivering integrated DSP processing, echo cancellation, and VoIP capabilities in a single chassis. The intuitive full-color LCD front panel provides immediate access to all processing functions, eliminating the need for external control surfaces during critical recording and mixing sessions.

Networked Audio Architecture for Studio Integration

The 256×256 channel capacity at up to 96kHz over Dante and AES67 connectivity makes this unit exceptionally scalable for large-format mixing, distribution, and processing applications across networked studio setups. Support for both 24/48kHz and 24/96kHz ensures compatibility with standard recording workflows and high-resolution audio production while maintaining network efficiency for real-time session work.

Processing & System Stability

Built-in DSP delivers 80 AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) channels and support for 32 VoIP lines, addressing the core requirements of remote collaboration and multiroom recording sessions. Dual redundant power supplies, word clock I/O, and HControl protocol support guarantee session uptime and seamless integration into networked studio control systems.
