BSS BLU-101 - Conference Processor with AEC

The Soundweb London BLU-101 offers a fixed configuration of 12 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs, configurable signal processing, AEC processing, and a high-bandwidth, fault-tolerant digital audio bus. The BLU-101 has an open architecture that is fully configurable via HiQnet® Audio Architect. A rich palette of processing and logic objects and a drag-and-drop configuration method provide a simple and familiar design environment. The BLU-101 contains dedicated AEC processing for up to 12 independent AEC algorithms. The AEC algorithm can be applied to signals coming from either the local analog inputs or the digital audio bus. 12 individual AEC references (one per algorithm) allow the user to provide a solution for multiple conference spaces using a single device. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Noise Cancellation (NC) are also provided for each AEC algorithm. AGC ensures microphone levels are maintained at an optimal level, and NC removes constant noise (such as from a projector fan or air conditioning unit) from the signal path. This processor features a 48-channel, fault-tolerant, low-latency digital audio bus that uses standard Category 5e cabling, offering a distance of 100m between compatible devices. Fiber media converters can be used to increase the distance between devices to over 40km. The BLU-101 is compatible with the entire Soundweb London family and its 48-channel digital audio bus represents channels 1-48 of the larger 256-channel digital audio bus when integrated with the BLU-800, BLU-320, BLU-160, BLU-120, BLU-BIB and BLU-BOB devices. Analog inputs provide software-configurable gain in 6dB steps up to +48dB per channel and software-selectable phantom power per channel. Phantom power, Signal Presence and Clipping information per channel is easily accessible, without the need for a PC, from a clear front-panel LED indication. A bi-directional locate function allows devices to be identified both from within and from HiQnet Audio Architect. 12 Control Inputs and 6 Logic Outputs allow the BLU-101 to be integrated with GPIO-compatible devices. The Soundweb London Interface Kit, complete documentation detailing how Soundweb London systems can be integrated with third-party control systems, is included within the HiQnet Audio Architect installation. The BLU-101 and the other members of the Soundweb London family provide the building blocks of the perfectly tailored system solution.
