The BSS BLU806 is a modular Soundweb London signal processor supplied as a chassis only, combining Dante / AES67 networked audio with a 256-channel fault-tolerant digital audio bus and four configurable I/O card slots. It is the BLU800 chassis extended with Dante ports, giving AV integrators a flexible processing hub that bridges the Soundweb London bus and a Dante network in a single 1U frame.
