BSS 32e 8x8x8 Audio Expander with 32 Channels of Dante
The BSS 32e is a professional-grade networked audio interface engineered for multi-room studios, large-format recording facilities, and distributed production environments. Its compact form factor and comprehensive I/O architecture make it an essential component for facilities requiring flexible analog and digital audio routing over Dante networks while integrating with existing hardware chains.
Network Architecture & Connectivity
This unit delivers 32x32 Dante/AES67 networked audio channels with redundant primary and secondary Dante connections for stable, uninterrupted tracking and mixing sessions. The combination of 8 dedicated input ports, 8 output ports, and 8 configurable flex ports—each supporting analog or stereo AES3 audio—provides immediate flexibility for patching in microphones, outboard gear, and preamps alongside modern networked monitoring and summing systems.
Audio Quality & Control
Every input and flex port includes a studio-quality 60dB microphone pre-amplifier paired with high-resolution ADC and DAC stages, ensuring transparent signal conversion across your signal chain. The full-color front panel LCD display with metering and 24 fully flexible GPIO ports enable real-time monitoring and integration with control surfaces and automation systems, while enterprise-grade network security protects audio streams and maintains session integrity.

Reviews
At a Glance
The BSS 32e is a professional networked audio expander that brings 32 channels of Dante I/O into the studio or remote recording facility, complete with 8 analog inputs, 8 outputs, and 8 configurable flex ports for hybrid analog-digital workflows. Producers and engineers value it for studio-quality 60dB microphone preamps on every input, transparent high-resolution conversion, and the flexibility to route legacy outboard gear alongside modern DAW-based sessions over a single Dante network. For multi-room recording, broadcast capture, or sessions requiring a scalable mixing backbone, the 32e eliminates cable clutter and latency while maintaining pristine audio integrity.
Who This Is For
| Best suited for | Live Performance, Studio Sessions, Installed Systems, Broadcast |
|---|---|
| Tonal character | Transparent signal conversion, studio-quality preamps, low-latency networking, enterprise-grade security |
| Less specialized for | Home Recording, Practice (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily) |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 8x8x8 configuration mean?
The 8x8x8 refers to 8 dedicated audio input ports, 8 dedicated audio output ports, and 8 configurable flex ports that can each be set up as either analog or stereo AES3 digital connections. This flexible architecture allows you to mix and match analog and digital I/O based on your system needs.
Does every input have a microphone preamp?
Yes. All 8 input ports and all 8 flex ports include studio-quality 60dB microphone preamps paired with high-resolution ADC stages, so you can connect microphones, instruments, or line-level sources directly without external preamp boxes.
How does redundancy work on this unit?
The BSS 32e includes primary and secondary Dante connections so that if one network link fails, audio continues flowing over the backup path. This mission-critical redundancy is essential for live venues, theaters, and broadcast applications where downtime is not an option.
Can I use this with both analog and digital gear in the same system?
Yes. The 8 configurable flex ports support both analog and stereo AES3 audio on a per-port basis, making it ideal for installations that blend legacy analog equipment with modern networked Dante systems without requiring external converters.
What networking features does it offer?
The unit delivers 32x32 Dante/AES67 channels over a networked connection, includes enterprise-grade network security to protect audio streams in critical environments, and features 24 fully flexible GPIO ports for integration with external control and monitoring systems.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
