The BSS Soundweb London BLU-326 is a 1U networked signal processor with configurable card-slot I/O, Dante / AES67 audio and a fault-tolerant digital audio bus. It is effectively the BLU-320 with the addition of primary and secondary Dante network audio ports, making it a flexible DSP backbone for install and touring systems designed in HiQnet London Architect. This is the chassis-only version, supplied without I/O cards fitted.
