The Soundweb London BLU-326 is a powerful input/output expander. It offers configurable I/O, Dante audio, and a high - bandwidth, fault - tolerant digital audio bus. You can configure it easily through HiQnet™ London Architect. With a rich set of logic objects and a user - friendly 'drag and drop' configuration method, it provides a simple design environment. The processor has Dante audio with primary and secondary ports for fault tolerance, controlled via a separate Ethernet port. It also features a 256 - channel, low - latency, fault - tolerant digital audio bus using standard Category 5e cabling, allowing a 100m distance between compatible devices. Fiber optic media converters can extend the distance to over 40km. The Soundweb London Interface Kit, which details how to integrate Soundweb London systems with third - party control systems, is included in the HiQnet London Architect installation. The BLU - 326 and other Soundweb London family members are ideal for building a perfectly tailored system solution. Key features include four input/output card slots, configurable inputs/outputs, various analog and digital inputs/outputs, AEC inputs, a telephone hybrid card, and more. Technical specs cover front - panel LED indicators, input/output details, Dante audio network, power, and dimensions.
Using the BLU - 326 is easy. First, connect it to your network using the provided Ethernet ports. You can use a standard Category 5e cable for distances up to 100m. If you need to cover a longer distance, you can use fiber optic media converters. Then, open HiQnet London Architect on your computer to configure the device. You can use the 'drag and drop' method to set up the logic objects according to your needs. When it comes to inputs and outputs, make sure to connect your audio sources and destinations correctly. For analog inputs, you can select phantom power for each channel if needed. Regarding maintenance, keep the device in a cool and dry place, within the operating temperature range of 15 to 35 degrees Celsius. Check the front - panel LED indicators regularly to monitor the device's status. If you encounter any issues, refer to the Soundweb London Interface Kit documentation included in the installation for troubleshooting.
