BSS Audio BLU-BOB1 (Break-Out Box) Output Expander with BLUlink

$249.00

The BSS BLU-BOB1 is an 8-channel analog output expander designed for the Soundweb London system. It connects via a 256-channel, low-latency BLU link digital audio bus using standard Cat 5e cabling, allowing up to 100m between devices. Channel assignments are managed through rear-panel DIP switches, eliminating the need for software configuration. The half-rack chassis supports desk, wall, or rack mounting, making it ideal for scalable commercial AV installations.

About the BSS Audio BLU-BOB1 (Break-Out Box) Output Expander with BLUlink

The BSS Audio BLU-BOB1 is a dedicated break-out box designed to expand the analog output capacity of BSS Audio Soundweb London and BLU series digital signal processors. This unit serves as a transparent, high-fidelity interface that converts signals from the BLUlink digital audio bus into additional channels of balanced analog audio. Its primary function is to provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for systems that require more physical output connections than are available on the main DSP processor unit. By connecting to a compatible BSS processor via a single BLUlink cable, the BLU-BOB1 seamlessly adds eight channels of analog output to the system, enabling the distribution of processed audio to a larger number of zones, amplifier channels, or recording devices without compromising signal integrity.

Engineered to maintain the sonic quality of the BSS ecosystem, the BLU-BOB1 features premium analog circuitry with high-resolution digital-to-analog converters. It supports sample rates up to 96 kHz, ensuring wide frequency response and low distortion across all channels. The unit is designed for straightforward integration, requiring minimal configuration as it is automatically recognized and configured by the connected London Architect or BLU design software. This plug-and-play operation simplifies system design and scaling, allowing audio engineers to focus on signal routing and processing rather than complex hardware setup. The break-out box is particularly valuable in complex installations such as large houses of worship, stadiums, convention centers, and broadcast facilities where output requirements can be extensive and subject to change.

Housed in a compact, single rack-unit metal chassis, the BLU-BOB1 is built for reliability in permanent installations. It features robust locking Euroblock connectors for secure analog output wiring and a BLUlink port for the digital connection. Its operation is fanless, ensuring silent performance in noise-sensitive control room environments. As part of the modular BSS BLU ecosystem, the BLU-BOB1 exemplifies a scalable approach to system design, providing a clean and efficient method to extend the reach of a centralized digital audio system by adding precisely the number of physical outputs needed for the application.
