The BSS BLU101 is a fixed-configuration Soundweb London signal processor offering 12 analogue inputs and 8 analogue outputs, with dedicated acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) for conferencing applications. Built for fixed-install AV integrators, it combines configurable DSP, GPIO control and a fault-tolerant digital audio bus in a single 1U chassis.

Networked Audio Bus
The 48-channel low-latency, fault-tolerant digital audio bus runs over standard Cat5e for up to 100m between compatible devices; fibre media converters extend this to over 40km. These 48 channels map to channels 1-48 of the larger 256-channel bus when integrated with BLU-800, BLU-320, BLU-160, BLU-120, BLU-BIB and BLU-BOB devices.
Features
✓Fixed 12 analogue in / 8 analogue out configuration
✓Dedicated AEC for up to 12 independent algorithms
✓Automatic Gain Control and Noise Cancellation per algorithm
✓Open architecture, configured in HiQnet London Architect
✓Software-configurable gain in 6dB steps up to +48dB per channel
✓Software-selectable phantom power per input channel
✓12 control inputs and 6 logic outputs for GPIO integration
✓Front-panel LED indication of phantom power, signal and clip
✓Bi-directional locate function within London Architect
✓Compatible with the entire Soundweb London family
Note
The BLU101 is a fixed-I/O device. If you need modular card-slot I/O, look to the BLU-160 or BLU-120 chassis. If you require a telephone or VoIP interface for conferencing, see the BLU-102 (POTS) or BLU-103 (VoIP).
