HARMAN recently introduced BSS OMNI, a unified and scalable ecosystem for audio, video, control, and USB solutions. Built on years of innovation and platform development across the HARMAN portfolio, OMNI represents the future of integrated AV systems.
The OMNI ecosystem includes DSP, AV-over-IP, user interfaces, USB-over-IP, and a single software platform (AVX Suite) for system design, configuration, deployment, and management.
As HARMAN continues to expand the platform with new hardware and software releases, there are a few key takeaways to understand:
1. HARMAN Is Ready to Support Your Next OMNI Project Now Thinking about trying OMNI on your next project? You're not alone. While OMNI is a new platform, it has already been successfully deployed in several high-profile venues, including a large casino, an iconic motorsports racetrack, a new professional soccer stadium, and one of the most recognized horse racing venues in the country.
To help ensure your success, HARMAN provides direct access to the teams actively training, designing, and supporting OMNI systems today. From initial design and engineering through commissioning and optimization, you'll have expert guidance every step of the way.
2. AVX Software Is Almost Here – Built, Tested, and Ready for Launch Over the past two years, HARMAN has partnered with integrators across the country to design, deploy, and validate OMNI systems in real-world installations. This extensive field testing has helped refine the platform, enhance usability, and ensure reliability before broad market availability.
The AVX Suite software will be available to integrators ahead of OMNI hardware shipments in October 2026, providing ample time for training, system design, and project preparation. Backed by successful real-world deployments and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of products, resources, and support, OMNI enters the market with proven performance, growing momentum, and the confidence of a platform built for the future of integrated AV.
3. Soundweb London Continues to Deliver Exceptional Value and Proven Performance Soundweb London continues to be a powerful and reliable DSP platform within the HARMAN ecosystem. For projects with smaller I/O requirements or budget-conscious designs, it remains an ideal solution that delivers the flexibility, performance, and sound quality BSS is known for.
To help dealers win more business and improve profitability, HARMAN recently implemented significant price reductions across many Soundweb London frames. These changes make it easier than ever to lead with BSS in competitive opportunities while providing outstanding value to end users. Most importantly, there are no immediate plans to discontinue the platform. Dealers can continue specifying Soundweb London with confidence, knowing it remains a supported, strategic solution for a wide range of installed audio applications.
4. AMX and BSS OMNI – A Connected Path Forward AMX remains a key part of the HARMAN ecosystem, with NetLinx, MUSE, and a wide range of AMX video solutions continuing as active product offerings. As the AMX N2600 and N3300 series transition to the next-generation OMNI 600 and OMNI 300 platforms, customers can move forward with confidence knowing the new OMNI encoders and decoders are designed for backward compatibility with existing N2600 and N3300 deployments.
This compatibility helps protect existing investments while providing a straightforward path to expand, upgrade, and modernize systems over time. Whether supporting legacy installations or designing new projects, dealers and integrators can leverage OMNI's enhanced capabilities while maintaining interoperability with proven AMX AV-over-IP infrastructure.
Take the next step with confidence. Whether you're evaluating OMNI for an upcoming project or simply want to learn more about the platform, we are here to help.
