The BSS Soundweb London BLU-100 is a configurable digital signal processor (DSP) for professional installed audio systems, providing 12 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, and a 48-channel Soundweb London digital audio bus in a 1RU chassis.
Audio processing and system configuration are handled through HiQnet London Architect software, allowing the BLU-100 to be configured for applications such as audio routing, mixing, signal processing, room combining, paging, and system control.
The BLU-100 can operate as a standalone DSP or as part of a larger Soundweb London system, with the digital audio bus providing low-latency audio transport between compatible Soundweb London devices.
12 Analog Inputs and 8 Analog Outputs
The BLU-100 provides a fixed analog I/O configuration consisting of:
-
12 analog inputs
-
8 analog outputs
Each analog input provides software-selectable gain and +48V phantom power, allowing the processor to accommodate compatible microphone and line-level sources.
The fixed 12x8 configuration makes the BLU-100 suitable for installations that need substantial analog I/O without requiring a card-based processor.
Configurable Digital Signal Processing
Unlike a fixed-function audio processor, the BLU-100 uses configurable DSP programmed through HiQnet London Architect.
This allows the processor's signal path and processing functions to be configured around the requirements of the installation rather than being limited to a predetermined signal flow.
This flexibility makes the BLU-100 useful in applications ranging from individual meeting and presentation spaces to larger distributed Soundweb London systems.
48-Channel Soundweb London Digital Audio Bus
The BLU-100 includes a 48-channel, low-latency, fault-tolerant Soundweb London digital audio bus.
The digital audio bus allows audio to be transported between compatible Soundweb London devices, making it possible to distribute audio processing and I/O throughout an installed system.
This is an especially important search term for this product, so I would keep 48-channel Soundweb London digital audio bus prominently in the description.
Input Gain and Phantom Power Control
Input gain and +48V phantom power are configurable in software for the BLU-100's analog inputs.
Front-panel indicators provide visual monitoring of:
-
Signal presence
-
Clip status
-
Phantom power
This gives installers immediate status information without requiring access to the software interface for basic signal monitoring.
Control and GPIO Integration
For integration with control and automation systems, the BLU-100 provides:
-
12 control inputs
-
6 logic outputs
-
GPIO support
-
RS-232 connectivity
-
Logic processing
These capabilities allow the processor to interact with compatible external controls and third-party systems as part of a larger installed AV system.
Soundweb London System Integration
The BLU-100 is designed for integration with other compatible products in the BSS Soundweb London family.
Its digital audio bus allows additional Soundweb London devices to be incorporated when an installation requires remote I/O or expanded system capabilities.
