Hardware Devices

There are a variety of BSS Audio Soundweb London devices available to complete almost any audio system. The Soundweb London "BLU" devices are a range of processing interfaces i.e. BLU-80, BLU-800, BLU-805, BLU-806, BLU-16, BLU-160, BLU-32, BLU-320, BLU-325,  BLU-326, BLU-120 and BLU-100, audio interface boxes BLU-BOB and BLU-BIB, GPIO devices BLU-GPX , several accompanying wall mounted controllers i.e. BLU-10, BLU-8, BLU-8v2, BLU-6 & BLU-3 and telephone headset interface BLU-HIF.

The Soundweb London series of processors include LED indication of input or output signal presence, a blue LCD screen to provide device ID and system diagnostics (with the exception of the BLU-100 which has no display). Each Soundweb London device also provides Control Inputs and Logic Outputs for interfacing with GPIO controls such as faders, pots, switches and LEDs. These can be used with the BLU-3 and BLU-6 controllers or custom controllers may be designed and produced. The Logic Outputs can be used to drive third party interfaces to trigger infra-red commands (to control DVD players etc) or power relays to turn other equipment on or off.

Each of the Soundweb London processors (with the exception of the BLU-100) can be fitted with up to 4 input or output cards or a combination of both. Available cards are analogue input and output cards, Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and Telephone Hybrid cards (which can be used with BLU-800/BLU-805/BLU-806, BLU-160, BLU-320/BLU-325/BLU-326 and BLU-120) and digital input and output cards. This allows for variations in the configuration of the device, for example you could have 8 inputs and 8 outputs or say 16 inputs or 4 inputs and 8 outputs and so on in any combination of analogue, AEC, Telephone Hybrid or digital. The type of card fitted is indicated on the front panel and an also by an LED indicator on the rear panel. The rear LED is green for an analogue input card, amber for an analogue output card, white for an AEC card, yellow for a Telephone Hybrid card, blue for a digital input card and red for a digital output card.

The FDS Series of BSS Audio's acclaimed OmniDrive and MiniDrive loudspeaker processor units (FDS-366T, 336T & 334T) are also fully supported and editable within HiQnet London Architect software.
