BSS Audio introduces major new product: Soundweb London BLU-100
BSS Audio has added a cost-effective signal processor to its acclaimed Soundweb™ London family of digital signal processors. The new Soundweb London BLU-100 represents a premium, open-architecture solution in the form of a highly flexible, cost-effective and scalable package. Using the BLU-100, the cost of Soundweb London systems can be drastically reduced. The BLU-100 offers a fixed configuration of 12 inputs and eight outputs, configurable signal pro-
cessing, logic processing and a fault tolerant digital audio bus. The configurable signal processing capability offered by the BLU-100 is roughly twice that of the Soundweb London BLU-80 and BLU-16 devices. The BLU-100 features a low latency, fault tolerant digital audio bus of 48 channels which uses standard Cat5e cabling giving a distance of 100m between compatible devices. Fibre media converters can be used to increase the distance between devices to over 10km using single mode fibre.
The BLU-100 is configured, controlled and monitored from HiQnet™ London Architect and is compatible with other members of the Soundweb London family including the BLU-800, BLU-320, BLU-160, BLU-120 and BLU-BOB devices. As with other Soundweb London devices, 12 Control Inputs and six Logic Outputs allow the BLU-100 to be integrated with GPIO compatible devices. The BLU-100 and the other members of the Soundweb London family provide the building blocks of the perfectly tailored system solution. > www.soundtech.co.uk/bss
