The Soundweb London BLU-BIB offers 8 channels of analog audio input expansion via the Soundweb London high bandwidth, fault tolerant digital audio bus.
This expander features a low latency, fault tolerant digital audio bus of 256 channels which uses standard category 5e cabling giving a distance of 100 m between compatible devices. The BSS audio MC-1 fiber optic media converter can be used to increase the distance between devices to over 10 km (6.2 miles) using single mode fiber.
The BLU-BIB input channels are easily configured by six DIP switches located on the rear of the device, which select consecutive channels in groups of eight. This simple configuration allows assignment to any 8-channel range within the 256 channels available on the digital audio bus. Input channel assignments are configured by DIP switch selection only. The BLU-BIB is not configured by HiQnet London Architect. Each channel's input gain and Phantom power are
adjusted using buttons on the front panel.
Signal present, clip, and Phantom power per channel are displayed by front panel LED indicators. The front panel also contains a power status and applied gain LED indicators.
The BLU-BIB operates in three different modes, which are entered and exited via the front panel controls. Edit mode allows the user to adjust each channel's input gain and Phantom power. Normal mode prevents the user from changing input gain or Phantom power. Stealth mode prevents the same changes from occurring, but without LED illumination (except power).
The BLU-BIB provides the building blocks of the perfectly tailored system solution.
