Featuring four configurable inputs and four outputs, this device supports flexible signal processing, logic processing, and BLU link connectivity to integrate seamlessly into complex sound systems. Powered via the included 12VDC power supply or an external 12-48VDC source through a terminal block, the BLU-50 also supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), enabling power, configuration, and control through a single Ethernet cable for simplified installation and management. The analog inputs incorporate software-controlled gain adjustments in 6dB steps up to +48dB, with selectable Phantom Power for each channel, providing optimal input levels for various microphones and audio sources. Front panel LED indicators display important channel status information, including Phantom Power, Signal Presence, and Clipping, allowing for easy monitoring without the need for a PC. The BLU-50's core feature, BLU link, is a low-latency, fault-tolerant digital audio bus capable of transmitting 48 channels over standard Category 5e cabling for distances up to 100 meters. For longer runs, fiber media converters extend this distance to over 6 miles using single-mode fiber, making it suitable for large-scale installations. Fully compatible with HiQnet Audio Architect™, the BLU-50 integrates with other Soundweb London devices, enabling centralized control and monitoring. Its 48-channel BLU link bus can be pooled with channels from other units like the BLU-800, BLU-320, and BLU-160, supporting up to 60 devices on a single bus. Additionally, the device offers 12 control inputs, six logic outputs, and an RS-232 port, facilitating extensive integration with other audio, control, and automation systems. Designed for professional environments, the Harman BSS BLU-50 provides robust processing, flexible connectivity, and comprehensive control features to meet demanding audio installation requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConfigurable analog inputs with 6dB gain steps and Phantom Power per channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) for simplified power and control via Ethernet cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBLU link digital audio bus: low latency, fault tolerant, 48 channels over Cat 5e cable up to 100 meters.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFiber media converter compatibility extends BLU link distance to over 6 miles with single-mode fiber.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFront panel LED indicators for Phantom Power, Signal Presence, and Clipping status.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntegrated with HiQnet Audio Architect™ for seamless configuration, control, and monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports up to 60 devices sharing channels on a single BLU link bus.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes multiple control inputs, logic outputs, and RS-232 port for system integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Harman International Industries, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44400699572266,"sku":"BSSBLU50-M","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/1031087173.jpg?v=1780417445","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/harman-bss-blu-50-4x4-signal-processor-with-blu-link-rack-mountable-audio-device","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
