BSS BLU-103 Conferencing Processor with AEC and VoIP

BSS Audio BLU-103 Conferencing Processor Overview
The BSS Audio BLU-103 Conferencing Processor with AEC and VoIP is a powerful solution for system installers seeking high-quality audio processing in conferencing applications. Offering 8 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs, this processor integrates advanced features such as Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Voice over IP (VoIP) functionality, and configurable signal processing. Whether you're building a conferencing system for a corporate environment or a multi-room setup, the BLU-103 provides the flexibility and performance needed to ensure clear, professional communication.

Advanced AEC Processing for Clearer Conversations
One of the standout features of the BLU-103 is its dedicated AEC processing, which allows for up to 8 independent AEC algorithms. This is particularly useful in conference rooms with multiple participants, as it ensures that echoes are minimized, providing a crisp and clear audio experience. The AEC algorithms can be applied to signals from the local analog inputs or the digital audio bus, allowing for versatile configurations. Additionally, the BLU-103 includes Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Noise Cancellation (NC), which help maintain optimal microphone levels and reduce background noise, making it perfect for busy environments where audio clarity is crucial.

VoIP Integration for Modern Communication Systems
The BLU-103 is equipped with a VoIP port, enabling it to interface with two VoIP lines (SIP v2.0 or later). This makes it an ideal solution for organizations that rely on internet-based telephony in their conferencing systems. By integrating VoIP functionality, the BLU-103 enhances communication between local and remote participants, ensuring seamless audio transmission regardless of the communication method. The VoIP integration is easy to configure and fully compatible with standard SIP protocols, simplifying the process of connecting your audio system to VoIP services.

Reliable Digital Audio Bus for Large-Scale Systems
The BLU-103 features a 48-channel, low-latency, fault-tolerant digital audio bus that ensures stable and reliable signal transmission across the system. The digital audio bus uses standard Category 5e cabling to connect compatible devices over distances of up to 300 feet, with the option to extend this range using fiber media converters for distances up to 24 miles. This high-bandwidth bus supports multiple devices, ensuring smooth and efficient signal routing even in large and complex audio networks.

Seamless Integration with the Soundweb London Family
As part of the Soundweb London family, the BLU-103 is fully compatible with other Soundweb London devices, including the BLU-800, BLU-160, and BLU-320, among others. The 48-channel digital audio bus allows the BLU-103 to represent channels 1-48 of a larger 256-channel digital audio bus when integrated with other Soundweb devices, providing a scalable solution for complex audio setups. The system’s open architecture ensures easy integration with existing audio equipment, allowing installers to tailor the system to meet the specific needs of the project.

Intuitive Configuration and Monitoring with HiQnet Audio Architect
The BLU-103 can be configured, controlled, and monitored using the HiQnet Audio Architect software, which provides a user-friendly interface for managing the processor’s settings. The software’s drag-and-drop configuration method simplifies the setup process, and real-time monitoring allows users to adjust settings as needed. Additionally, the front-panel LED indicators provide clear visual feedback on signal presence and clipping, making it easy to monitor the system without the need for a PC.
