About the BSS BLU-102 Soundweb London BLU-102 Conferencing Processor
The BSS BLU-102 is a specialized digital signal processor within the Soundweb London family, engineered specifically for professional conferencing, boardroom, and council chamber applications. It integrates advanced acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), noise reduction, automatic mixing, and equalization into a single, compact 1U unit. Designed to manage multiple microphone inputs—such as those from gooseneck mics, boundary mics, or ceiling arrays—the processor ensures clear, natural, and feedback-free speech reinforcement both within the room and for remote participants via teleconferencing systems. Its primary function is to eliminate the echo that occurs when a microphone picks up sound from a loudspeaker, which is critical for maintaining intelligibility and preventing howling in voice-lift and teleconferencing scenarios.
The BLU-102 leverages the powerful Soundweb London DSP platform and is configured using the intuitive HiQnet London Architect software. This software allows system designers to create custom signal flows, set precise AEC parameters, configure noise gates, and apply room-specific equalization. The processor features a combination of analog and digital I/O, including eight mic/line inputs and eight line outputs, providing ample connectivity for typical conferencing setups. It also includes digital audio ports (BLU-Link) for seamless integration into larger Soundweb London networks, enabling audio sharing with other DSP units in complex installations. Built for 24/7 reliability in commercial environments, it offers robust performance and straightforward integration.
As a dedicated conferencing processor, the BLU-102 solves the core acoustic challenges of voice-centric rooms. It is an essential tool for AV integrators designing systems for corporate boardrooms, courtrooms, legislative chambers, and distance learning classrooms, where clear, reliable, and natural communication is paramount.
