BSS Audio (Brooke Siren Systems) is a British manufacturer of professional signal processing and distribution audio equipment, widely used in live sound and fixed installations.

Its first product was the modular MCS series crossover system, which set the industry standard for loudspeaker protection. BSS later became renowned for its AR series active DI boxes, Omnidrive loudspeaker processors, and Soundweb / Soundweb London networked audio processing systems.
