Channel Select
The BLU-BOB output channels are easily configured by six DIP switches located on the
rear of the device, which select a range of 8 consecutive channels from the Digital Audio
Bus. Output channel assignments are configured by DIP switch selection only. The BLU-
BOB is not configured by HiQnet™ London Architect.
Analog Output 1-8
The 8 analog line level outputs utilize the same terminal block connectors (part number:
32-1226) as all other members of the Soundweb London family (except for BLU-100,
BLU-101, and BLU-102, which require smaller connectors).
Installing BLU-BOB into a Rack
The BLU-BOB2 and the BLU-BOB1 each offer 8 channels of line-level analog output
expansion from the Soundweb London digital audio bus (informally known as “BLU
link”). The BLU-BOB2 can be mounted directly into a single 1U rack space. The BLU-
BOB1 is a half-width version, and it requires the Rack-Mount Kit to mount it into a single
1U rack space (see “Using the Rack-Mount Kit” section for more info).
When installing a BLU-BOB2 or any combination of BLU-BOB1s and/or BLU-BIBs into
a single rack space, it is recommended that one empty rack space is left above and
below the devices. This allows heat to safely dissipate. See the below diagram for further
clarification.
Using the Rack-Mount Kit (shipped separately)
The BSS Audio 1U Rack-Mount Kit (SKU: RACK MOUNT KIT) allows up to two half-
rack Soundweb London devices—BLU-BIB and BLU-BOB1—to be mounted on a shelf
occupying a single rack space. The 1U Rack-Mount Kit can accommodate one BLU-BIB
device, one BLU-BOB1 device, two BLU-BIB devices, two BLU-BOB1 devices, or one of
each device. With each device offering eight channels of analog I/O expansion, the 1U
Rack-Mount Kit allows for higher I/O density (16 channels) in a single rack space.
For instances in which only one I/O expander is mounted, the half-rack blanking plate
(included with the RACK MOUNT KIT) can be used to fill the blank space in the front of
the rack.
