BSS BLU-50 4x4 Signal Processor with BLU Link

BSS Audio BLU-50 4x4 Signal Processor Overview
The BSS Audio BLU-50 is a compact and powerful 4x4 signal processor that offers exceptional audio performance for a wide range of professional applications. Featuring 48 channels of low-latency, fault-tolerant digital audio, the BLU-50 ensures reliable signal routing across your system. With built-in BLU link and compatibility with other Soundweb London devices, it provides seamless integration with existing audio systems. Whether you're working on a large-scale installation or a more compact setup, the BLU-50 is designed to meet the needs of modern audio networks while offering easy configuration and control.

Flexible Input/Output Configurations for Custom Systems
The BLU-50 features four analog inputs and four analog outputs, offering flexible I/O options for various system designs. Each input supports software-configurable gain in 6dB increments, up to +48dB per channel, and phantom power can be applied to each channel as needed. This versatility allows the processor to integrate seamlessly with a variety of devices, including microphones, mixers, and other professional audio equipment. With software-selectable phantom power, users can easily adapt to different input types, ensuring high-quality audio capture and processing in any environment.

Low-Latency, Fault-Tolerant Digital Audio Bus
The BLU-50 uses a 48-channel digital audio bus that is low-latency and fault-tolerant, providing reliable signal transport across your system. This digital audio bus, part of the BLU link, can represent channels 1-48 of a larger 256-channel BLU link bus when connected to other compatible Soundweb London devices. The BLU link allows up to 60 devices to share channels on a single bus, making it a scalable solution for growing audio networks. The low-latency design ensures that audio signals are transmitted without delay, making it ideal for real-time applications such as live events, conferences, and broadcast systems.

Seamless Integration with HiQnet Audio Architect
For easy configuration, monitoring, and control, the BLU-50 is fully integrated with HiQnet Audio Architect. This powerful software suite provides a simple and intuitive interface for managing your system's parameters. The drag-and-drop configuration method makes setting up complex audio systems a breeze, and the software's rich palette of processing and logic objects offers extensive customization options. The front-panel LED indicators on the BLU-50 provide real-time feedback, displaying important information such as phantom power status, signal presence, and clipping, allowing you to monitor system health at a glance.

Integration with GPIO Devices for Automation and Control
The BLU-50 offers 12 control inputs and 6 logic outputs for seamless integration with GPIO-compatible devices, expanding the control and automation possibilities of your system. Whether you're managing audio routing, triggering events, or integrating with third-party control systems, the BLU-50’s GPIO functionality provides the flexibility to design a system that meets your specific needs. The Soundweb London Interface Kit, included with HiQnet Audio Architect, ensures easy integration with third-party control systems, making the BLU-50 an ideal choice for complex installations that require external device management.

Power Options and Mounting Flexibility
The BLU-50 offers versatile power options, including 12-48 VDC or PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) powering, with a 12 VDC power supply included. This flexibility allows for easy installation in a variety of environments, whether you prefer using standard power adapters or taking advantage of PoE for networked installations. The BLU-50 is also designed for flexible mounting options, with optional rackmount, surface-mount, and desk-mount hardware available separately. This ensures that the device can be integrated seamlessly into your existing setup, whether in a professional audio rack or as part of a custom installation.
