BSS Audio (Harman)

BSS Audio makes professional signal-processing equipment. It is represented here in a larger venue sound system.

Design & approach

BSS develops signal processing for installed systems, including routing and networked-audio platforms. Its range includes Soundweb and BLU link connectivity. These products can coordinate complex installations, but an actual venue’s input routing, delays and crossover settings require installation-specific evidence.

Inside the system

Public Records has several distinct installations. The indoor Sound Room combines Void Nexus XL subwoofers, OJAS quad-15 slot-loaded midbass cabinets, Altec 1505B multicell horns and Faital supertweeters. Void and BGW amplification works with BSS processing; four Technics SL-1200MK2s and four Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2s accompany a custom Isonoe mixer. The Bar Room uses replica Altec 816 midbass cabinets, OJAS cabinets with 500 Hz horns and Altec high-frequency drivers, plus Void Venu 115 subwoofers. Crown and BGW amplification accompanies analogue crossovers, with two SL-1200MK2s, two CDJ-2000NXS2s and an Isonoe mixer at the booth. The outdoor Nursery has an OJAS × NNNN fully horn-loaded four-way installation. A later Atrium installation uses six OJAS × NNNN ON M I assemblies and eight TL18 subwoofers. These room-specific systems represent different chapters and spaces, rather than components of one signal chain.
