BSS BLU-BOB1 Break-in/out Box
The BSS BLU-BOB1 is a compact, professional-grade break-in/out box designed for routing and distributing audio across networked systems using Dante digital audio. Its straightforward front-panel layout with LED indicators and DIP switch configuration makes it reliable in studio and production environments where digital audio distribution demands precision and minimal latency.
Digital Audio Routing & Connectivity
This unit provides 256 channels of digital audio transport via standard Category 5e cabling with a maximum distance of 100 meters, offering flexible system integration without proprietary cabling. Eight analog line-level outputs with terminal block connectors enable seamless conversion from digital to analog domains, with six DIP switches providing straightforward channel selection for custom routing configurations.
Audio Performance & Technical Specifications
The BLU-BOB1 delivers transparent audio quality with a maximum output level of +19dBu, 108dB typical dynamic range, and THD below 0.01% across the audible spectrum. Latency measures just 0.58ms at 48kHz (0.29ms at 96kHz), ensuring negligible delay in tracking and mixing applications, while frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz maintains full-spectrum audio integrity.
