The Soundweb London BLU - 806 is an outstanding networked signal processor. It offers highly configurable I/O and signal processing capabilities, along with Dante audio and a high - bandwidth, fault - tolerant digital audio bus. Its open architecture allows full configuration through HiQnet™ London Architect. With a rich set of processing and logic objects and a user - friendly 'drag and drop' configuration method, it provides an easy - to - use design environment. The processor features Dante audio with primary and secondary ports for better fault tolerance, and it can be controlled via a separate Ethernet port. You can easily access information like Phantom Power, Sync, Signal Present, and Clip per channel from the clear front - panel LED indication, no PC needed. The front - panel display shows device - specific details such as Device Name, Device Type, Firmware Version Number, Time, IP Address, and Subnet Mask. A bi - directional locate function helps identify devices within HiQnet London Architect. It has 12 Control Inputs and 6 Logic Outputs for integration with GPIO - compatible devices. The Soundweb London Interface Kit, which comes with detailed documentation on integrating Soundweb London systems with third - party control systems, is included in the HiQnet London Architect installation. Key features include four Input/Output Card Slots, configurable inputs/outputs, various analog and digital inputs/outputs, AEC inputs, a Telephone Hybrid Card, and much more. Technical specifications cover front - panel LED indicators, analog and digital inputs/outputs, Dante audio network, power, and dimensions.
Using the BSS BLU - 806 is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your power source. Make sure the mains voltage is within the range of 100 - 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Then, connect the audio inputs and outputs as per your needs. You can use the Phoenix Combicon removable screw connectors for analog and digital connections. For Dante audio network, use the 2 x RJ45 connectors and keep the cable length within 100m/300ft on Category 5e cable. To configure the device, open HiQnet London Architect and use the 'drag and drop' method to set up the processing and logic objects. When using it, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. The operating temperature range is from 15°C (59°F) to 35°C (95°F). For maintenance, keep the device clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the front panel. Check the firmware regularly and update it if there are new versions available to ensure optimal performance. Also, make sure all connections are secure to avoid any audio issues.
