BSS Soundweb London BLU-160 Digital Audio Processor with I/O cards.

BSS Soundweb London BLU-160 Digital Audio Processor.

This processor is used and is in perfect working condition (there are some scuffs and scratches on the cabinet). It has been fully tested and upgraded to the latest firmware prior to being offered for sale.

Included and installed is one AEC input card and three analog output cards (4X12). The AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) card has all the features of the analog input card plus the echo cancellation options – this is a very expensive card. This unit is also equipped with BLU link digital audio bus. Power cord and connectors shown in the pics are included. No other parts or accessories are included.

I have installed a boat-load of these over the years and would be happy to answer any questions. This is a current model and would cost $5,300 (with cards) new.

Please ask any questions prior to purchase as I do not accept returns (I do guarantee it will arrive as described).

From the manufacturer:

The Soundweb London BLU-160 offers configurable I/O, configurable signal processing and a high bandwidth, fault tolerant digital audio bus.

The BLU-160 has open architecture which is fully configurable through HiQnet™ Audio Architect. A rich palette of processing and logic objects and a “drag and drop” method of configuration provide a simple and familiar design environment.

This processor features a low latency, fault tolerant digital audio bus of 256 channels which uses standard Category 5e cabling giving a distance of 100m between compatible devices. Fiber optic media converters can be used to increase the distance between devices to over 40km.

Four card slots facilitate many different device I/O configurations. Each slot can accommodate any of six available I/O cards, including the Analog Input Card, Analog Output Card, Digital Input Card, Digital Output Card, AEC Input Card, and Telephone Hybrid Card. Each card supports four channels.
Phantom Power, Sync, Signal Present and Clip information per channel is easily accessible, without the requirement for a PC, from clear front panel LED indication. Device-specific information such as Device Name, Device Type, Firmware Version Number, Time, IP Address and Subnet Mask is available from the front panel display. A bi-directional locate function allows devices to be identified both from and within HiQnet Audio Architect.

12 Control Inputs and 6 Logic Outputs allow the BLU-160 to be integrated with GPIO compatible devices.
