BSS BLU-BIB 8-Channel Input Expander Analog Break-In Box

BSS Audio 8-Channel Input Expander Overview
The BSS Audio 8-Channel Input Expander, also known as the Soundweb London BLU-BIB or "break-in box," is designed to extend the input capabilities of your audio system with ease. This unit allows you to add 8 channels of analog audio input, expanding the reach and flexibility of your existing Soundweb London network. The BLU-BIB is connected to the high bandwidth, fault-tolerant digital audio bus, ensuring reliable, low-latency signal transfer for even the most demanding installations.

Expanding Audio Inputs with Flexibility
Ideal for systems that require additional audio inputs, the BLU-BIB offers users the ability to expand their setup seamlessly. Whether you're working in live sound, commercial audio, or multi-zone installations, this 8-channel input expander enhances your system’s capability without compromising on quality. The unit connects to your Soundweb London system and provides robust analog inputs that integrate smoothly with digital audio workflows, adding a new layer of flexibility for larger setups.

Low-Latency, Fault-Tolerant Digital Audio Bus
At the heart of the BLU-BIB is its 256-channel, low-latency, fault-tolerant digital audio bus. The use of standard Category 5e cabling allows for connections of up to 100 meters between compatible devices, making it perfect for larger installations where reliability is key. For even longer distances, fiber optic media converters can extend the range to over 40 kilometers, providing unparalleled flexibility for networked audio applications, regardless of the scale of your installation.

Simple Channel Range Selection and Gain Control
The BLU-BIB makes it easy to configure and control your audio inputs. With DIP switches for channel range selection, users can quickly set up the system to meet their specific needs. The front-panel input gain control allows for convenient adjustment of audio levels directly from the unit, ensuring optimal signal strength and clarity without the need for complex software adjustments. This makes the BLU-BIB an excellent solution for both simple and advanced audio setups.

Reliable Power and Integration with Existing Systems
The BLU-BIB is powered by a 12 VDC external power supply, which is included in the package. This ensures a stable power source for consistent performance across all connected devices. The unit is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Soundweb London devices, making it an ideal addition to systems already using other Soundweb London components. Its fault-tolerant design ensures reliability, even in critical audio environments where system uptime is crucial.
