BSS OMNI-KP-V-WH - Wall Controller with Rotary Encoder and LED Ring - White

The BSS OMNI-KP-V-WH redefines the control experience in professional audio installations, combining minimalist aesthetics with the power of HARMAN's open architecture. This device is much more than a simple volume control; it's a dynamic rotary encoder keypad specifically designed for seamless, native integration with the BSS Soundweb OMNI processing ecosystem and AMX MUSE automation. Its white finish and streamlined design make it the perfect choice for architects and integrators seeking functionality without compromising the visual elegance of a modern space.

Unlike traditional analog controls, the OMNI-KP-V operates using the HControl protocol, enabling intelligent bidirectional communication and immediate response. The end user enjoys a premium tactile experience thanks to a high-precision rotary knob, complemented by clear visual feedback via an LED ring. This ensures that any level adjustment—whether master volume, zone gain, or continuous parameter selection—is performed with absolute accuracy and confidence.

Simplified total control with AVX Suite

The true power of this controller lies in its management through the unified AVX Suite platform. This software suite allows integrators to configure, manage, and deploy the device with unprecedented speed. As a native device within the HARMAN ecosystem, it eliminates the complex programming barriers typical of third-party integrations, while maintaining complete flexibility by also being compatible with AMX NetLinx and other external control platforms. This makes it ideal for both new installations and the upgrade of existing systems requiring a technological leap.

Universal design and ease of installation

Designed for global deployment, the BSS OMNI-KP-V hardware is engineered to fit standard single-gang recessed electrical boxes, making it compatible with most regions worldwide (EU, US, UK). Installation is radically simplified thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE) . A single CAT5e or higher network cable carries both control data and the power required for the encoder and LED lighting, reducing cabling costs and on-site labor time.

Main features

• Advanced native integration: Designed from the ground up to work with BSS Soundweb OMNI processors and AMX MUSE controllers without the need for complex drivers.
• Infinite rotary encoder: Offers smooth, precise, and continuous control, ideal for managing audio levels or variable parameters.
• LED visual feedback: Luminous ring around the control that indicates the current status of the controlled level or parameter, ensuring visibility in low-light environments.
• HControl Protocol: A modern, readable, and developer-friendly communication standard that facilitates integration with third-party systems.
• PoE connectivity: Eliminates the need for local external power supplies, centralizing power through the network switch.
• Premium Aesthetics: White finish that suits high-end corporate, educational and commercial interiors.

Benefits for the integrator and the end user

For system integrators , this device represents a significant saving in setup time thanks to AVX Suite and its versatility in mounting on universal enclosures. For end users , it offers a distraction-free interface: robust and intuitive controls that simply work, eliminating the frustration of complex touch interfaces for basic functions like adjusting the volume.

Use cases

Its versatile and robust design makes it ideal for a wide variety of vertical applications:

• Corporate Environments: Boardrooms and meeting spaces where fast and elegant volume control is required.
• Hospitality and Retail: Hotels, restaurants and luxury shops for the control of background music areas.
• Sports Venues and Stadiums: Local control in VIP boxes or administration areas.
• Education: University classrooms and auditoriums for easy audio management by teachers.
• Casinos and Convention Centers: Distributed audio management in large areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the BSS OMNI-KP-V require a dedicated power supply?
No, the device is powered exclusively via PoE (Power over Ethernet), which requires a compatible PoE switch or injector connected via network cable.

Is it compatible with European flush-mount boxes?
Yes, the OMNI-KP-V design is compatible with standard single-gang electrical boxes used in most regions of the world, including Europe and the United States.

Can I use this driver with systems other than BSS or AMX?
Yes, although it is optimized for BSS Soundweb OMNI and AMX MUSE, it supports the HControl protocol and is compatible with third-party systems, allowing its integration into mixed control architectures.

Project description
