BLU-32 Signal Processor (discontinued)

The Soundweb London BLU-32 Signal Processor offers configurable I/O and CobraNet audio.  The processor features CobraNet audio with primary and secondary ports for fault tolerance. Control is accomplished via a separate Ethernet port which allows CobraNet and control networks to be easily separated or mixed depending upon requirements.

Four card slots which accommodate analog inputs, analog outputs, digital inputs and digital outputs in banks of four facilitate many different device I/O configurations.  Analog Input Cards provide software configurable gain in 6dB steps up to +48dB per channel and software selectable 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. (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 Audio Architect.  12 Control Inputs and 6 Logic Outputs allow the BLU-32 to be integrated with GPIO compatible devices.  The BLU-32 and the other members of the Soundweb London family provide the building blocks of the perfectly tailored system solution.
