About BSS BLU-101

Why choose the Soundweb London BLU-101 Conferencing Processor with AEC This sophisticated and advanced piece of audio equipment is a cornerstone for professional-grade conferencing and audio processing systems. The BLU-101 boasts a fixed configuration of 12 high-quality analog inputs and 8 analog outputs, ensuring a wide range of connectivity options for various audio sources and destinations.

With its configurable signal processing capabilities, the BLU-101 is equipped with state-of-the-art Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) processing, delivering crystal-clear audio by eliminating echo and feedback in real-time. This makes it an ideal choice for environments where clear communication is paramount, such as conference rooms, lecture halls, and telepresence setups.

The processor's high-bandwidth, fault-tolerant digital audio bus supports up to 48 channels over standard Category 5e cabling, with distances up to 100 meters between devices. For extended reach, fiber media converters can be utilized to bridge over 40 kilometers, ensuring flexible installation options and system scalability.

Each of the 12 independent AEC algorithms can be applied to local analog inputs or sourced from the digital audio bus, with individual AEC references allowing for tailored solutions across multiple conferencing spaces using just one device. Additionally, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Noise Cancellation (NC) features per AEC algorithm maintain optimal microphone levels and remove unwanted background noise, enhancing the overall audio experience.

The BLU-101's open architecture is fully configurable through HiQnet London Architect, offering a user-friendly design environment with a "drag and drop" interface. This innovative approach simplifies system setup and customization, allowing for a quick and efficient configuration process.

Compatibility with the entire Soundweb London family means the BLU-101's 48 channel digital audio bus integrates seamlessly with other devices in the series, such as the BLU-800, BLU-320, BLU-160, BLU-120, BLU-BIB, and BLU-BOB, forming part of a comprehensive 256 channel digital audio network.

For precise control, analog inputs feature software-configurable gain in 6dB steps up to +48dB per channel and software-selectable Phantom Power. Front panel LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on Phantom Power, Signal Presence, and Clipping status, all without the need for a PC.

Integration with external systems is made possible through 12 Control Inputs and 6 Logic Outputs, compatible with GPIO devices. The included Soundweb London Interface Kit within HiQnet London Architect's installation offers comprehensive documentation for interfacing with third-party control systems.

In summary, the Soundweb London BLU-101 Conferencing Processor with AEC is a high-tech, innovative solution designed for the discerning professional seeking a reliable, high-performance audio processing system. Its sophisticated design and advanced features ensure it stands out as a top choice for any audio-centric environment requiring impeccable sound quality and seamless system integration.
