Bss BLU-326

The Soundweb London BLU-326 offers configurable I/O, Dante, high bandwidth, and fault-tolerant digital audio buses. It can be configured using HiQnetT London Architect and via "drag-and-drop." The unit features Dante audio with primary and secondary ports for fault tolerance, controlled via a separate Ethernet port. This processor features low latency and fault tolerance in a 256-channel audio bus using CAT5E cabling for a distance of 100 meters between compatible devices. Fiber-optic converters can be used to extend the distance beyond 40 kilometers. Four card slots accommodate analog inputs and outputs, as well as digital inputs and outputs in banks of four, facilitating a wide range of I/O configurations. The analog inputs provide configurable gain in 6-dB increments up to +48 dB per channel and individual phantom power. Digital input and output cards handle AES/EBU and/or S/PDIF audio and support various clock and sync options. Phantom power, sync indication, signal presence, and clipping indicators for each channel are easily accessible from the front panel without the need for a PC, as are device-specific details such as Name, Type, firmware version, Time, IP address, and subnet mask. A bidirectional discovery function enables device identification via HiQnet Audio Architect. Twelve control inputs and six logic outputs allow the BLU-326 to integrate with GPIO-compatible devices.
