BLU-326DA
processor
Overview
Formerly known as BLU-326, the Soundweb London
BLU-326DA offers configurable I/O, Dante™ / AES67 audio and
a high bandwidth, fault tolerant digital audio bus.
The BLU-326DA is configurable through HiQnet London
Architect™. A rich palette of logic objects and a “drag and drop”
method of configuration provide a simple and familiar design
environment.
The BLU-326DA features Dante™ / AES67 audio. The
BLU-326DA is capable of simultaneously transmitting and
receiving up to 64 channels of Dante™ / AES67 audio (64 x 64).
Primary and Secondary ports are provided for fault tolerance.
Control is through a separate Ethernet port.
The BLU-326DA also features a low latency, fault tolerant digital
audio bus of 256 channels which uses standard Category 5e
cabling giving a distance of 100m between compatible devices.
Fiber media converters can be used to increase the distance
between devices to over 40km.
Four card slots facilitate many different device I/O
configurations. Each slot can accommodate any of six available
I/O cards, including the Analog Input Card, Analog Output Card,
Digital Input Card, Digital Output Card, AEC Input Card, and
Telephone Hybrid Card. Each card supports four channels.
Analog Input Cards provide software configurable gain in 6dB
steps up to +48dB per channel and software selectable
Key Features
• 4 input/output card slots
• Configurable inputs/outputs
• Analog inputs (with Phantom Power per
channel)
• Analog outputs
• Digital inputs (AES/EBU and S/PDIF)
• Digital outputs (AES/EBU and S/PDIF)
• AEC inputs
• Telephone interface
• Rich palette of processing and logic objects
• Dante™ / AES67 audio
• 64 x 64 audio input/output channels per device
Phantom Power per channel. Digital Input Cards and Digital
Output Cards process AES/EBU and/or S/PDIF audio and offer
a variety of clocking and syncing options. AEC Input Cards and
Telephone Hybrid Cards facilitate specialized processing and
interfacing primarily for teleconferencing applications. (Further
information about the I/O cards can be found on dedicated
datasheets).
Phantom Power, Sync, Signal Present and Clip information
per channel is easily accessible, without the requirement for
a PC, from clear front panel LED indication. Device-specific
information such as Device Name, Device Type, Firmware
Version Number, Time, IP Address and Subnet Mask is available
from the front panel display. A bi-directional locate function
allows devices to be identified both from and within HiQnet
London Architect.
12 Control Inputs and 6 Logic Outputs allow the BLU-326DA
to be integrated with GPIO compatible devices. The Soundweb
London Interface Kit, comprehensive documentation which
details how Soundweb London systems can be integrated with
third party control systems, is included within the installation of
HiQnet London Architect.
The BLU-326DA and the other members of the Soundweb
London family provide the building blocks of the perfectly
tailored system solution.
• 256 channel, low latency, fault tolerant digital
audio bus

BSS Audio incorporates high quality mechanical fans in some products. All mechanical fans have a limited life expectancy. We recommend annual inspection of fans for dust
occlusion and excessive noise. Fan assemblies should be replaced after six to ten years of use. Environmental factors such as elevated temperature, dust, and smoke can
adversely affect fan life. Systems exposed to these conditions should be inspected more frequently. Fan replacement can be performed either at the factory or by an experienced
technician in the field. Please contact BSS Technical Support for more information on purchasing replacement parts or product service. BSS Audio has a policy of continued
product improvement and accordingly reserves the right to change features and specifications without prior notice.
