BSS Soundweb Lite sw3088 Signal Processor

Building on the groundbreaking success of the Soundweb 9088iis and associated products, BSS Audio have developed the Soundweb Lite (or sw3088), a less-expensive alternative for those situations where you require a standalone DSP with a maximum of 8 inputs and outputs.

8 inputs and 8 outputs, powerful DSP engine and analogue GPI control interfacing

This powerful, 8x8, fully-programmable Digital Audio System is perfect for many smaller-scale applications that the 9088iis may have seemed a little excessive for (such as houses of worship, theme bars, boardrooms, clubs etc.) and comes complete with all the same capabilities as it's bigger brother, including a totally free-design DSP layout, large palette of processing objects and custom control panels.

Consultants and Contractors already familiar with Soundweb systems should take to using the 3088 with ease, thanks largely to its use of the common Soundweb Designer platform and familiar control layout.

With the capability of holding up to 12 completely different system designs within its internal memory, the 3088 is perfect for a variety of different sound-reinforcement situations. Each setting is fully customisable via PC interface (RS232 port) through the aforementioned Soundweb Designer application (available for free from the BSS Audio website).
