Bss BLU-160

The processor features the new, fault-tolerant, low-latency BLU-Link digital bus, capable of transmitting up to 256 audio channels over a standard CAT5e cable run, for distances of up to 100 meters. Fiber-optic converters can be used to extend the link to over 40 km. Four slots can accommodate Analog Input, Analog Output, Digital Input, and Digital Output cards, each with four on-board channels, for maximum flexibility in I/O configuration. The Analog Input cards feature software-adjustable gain in 6 dB steps up to +48 dB per channel, with individually switchable phantom power. The Digital Input and Digital Output cards process AES/EBU and/or S/PDIF audio in various clock and sync configurations. Information regarding phantom power activation, sync status, signal presence, and any clipping is readily available on the front panel-without the need for a control PC-thanks to a comprehensive set of LED indicators. Other data, such as the device name, type, firmware version, time, IP address, and subnet mask, are shown on the backlit front display. A bidirectional "Locate" button allows for easy identification of the processor within a complex Soundweb network. On the rear panel, there are 12 control inputs and 6 logic output ports for connecting the BLU-160 to GPIO systems. Extensive documentation is available for integrating the device into a broader control system (Crestron, AMX, etc.).
