The 9088iis Networked Signal Processor forms the heart of the Soundweb system. In a single rack space unit, it offers 8 analogue audio inputs, 8 analogue audio outputs, 200 MIPS of digital signal processing, a pair of network jacks, and a variety of control options. 

The front panel of the 9088iis has a number of LEDs to allow a quick view of activity on the audio inputs and on the network. It also has a mini-DIN connector for an RS-232 serial port: this is normally used to connect a PC for system setup and control.
