The BSS BLU-BOB1 is a Soundweb London break-out box providing eight channels of analogue line-level output expansion via the BLU Link digital audio bus. It is the half-rack width, desk- or wall-mount version aimed at fixed installs, conferencing and distributed audio systems that need extra analogue outputs away from the host processor.
