BSS BLU-HIF Telephone Headset Interface

BSS Audio BLU-HIF Telephone Headset Interface Overview
The BSS Audio BLU-HIF Telephone Headset Interface is designed to integrate a headset from a VoIP or digital phone into your Soundweb London audio system. By connecting the headset jack of a VoIP phone to an AEC input and analog output of a Soundweb London device, the BLU-HIF allows for efficient and straightforward communication within a conference system. This versatile interface eliminates the need for complex programming typically associated with third-party control systems, making it an ideal solution for users who need seamless, high-quality audio integration for conferencing applications.

Simplified VoIP Integration for Conference Systems
The BLU-HIF allows you to easily connect the headset of a VoIP or digital phone to your Soundweb London system. It features an RJ-22 jack that connects directly to the headset jack, enabling two-way communication for conference calls. The interface also includes a balanced input (Tx) for sending near-side audio and a balanced output (Rx) for receiving far-side audio, ensuring clear and consistent audio transmission during calls. This setup simplifies the integration of VoIP phones into conference systems, streamlining the entire communication process.

Side-Tone Elimination with AEC Integration
One key feature of the BLU-HIF is its ability to handle side-tone effectively. While near-side audio can still be heard on the Rx channel due to the presence of side-tone, BSS Audio recommends routing the Rx channel to an AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) input instead of a standard analog input. The AEC algorithm removes the side-tone, ensuring that the far-side audio is clean and free from echo, which is essential for high-quality conferencing. This makes the BLU-HIF an excellent choice for applications that require clear and echo-free communication.

Compatibility with a Range of Devices
The BLU-HIF comes equipped with two cables, each featuring a 4P4C RJ-22 connector that supports the most common wiring configurations found in VoIP and digital phone headsets. These cables provide quick and easy compatibility with most phones, reducing the time required for setup. Additionally, the BLU-HIF includes a 2.5mm jack, which allows you to connect the interface to cellular phones with TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) headset jacks, further expanding its versatility for different types of communication devices.

Durable and Easy Installation
The BLU-HIF is built with a rugged metal chassis that ensures durability and long-lasting performance, making it well-suited for both commercial and industrial environments. It can be mounted either on the surface or under the table, offering flexible installation options for your setup. Whether you're outfitting a conference room or integrating communication systems in a larger AV environment, the BLU-HIF provides reliable functionality and easy installation, making it a convenient addition to your audio system.
