BSS BLU-8-V2-BLK Zone Controller
The BSS BLU-8-V2-BLK is a professional wall-mounted zone controller built for networked audio system management at venues, theaters, and installed sound environments. Its compact 3-gang US chassis format mounts cleanly into standard wall installations, while the hands-on interface of rotary encoders and push buttons gives you direct control over complex audio routing and processing. This HiQnet-compatible device brings professional zone control to fixed installations and live venues where reliable, repeatable system management matters.
Network Integration & Power
Control connectivity runs over Ethernet, so you can manage your networked audio system without running dedicated control cabling throughout the venue. The unit accepts both 14-48V DC or PoE (Power over Ethernet) power, cutting down on infrastructure headaches in most installations.
Interface & Operating Modes
A 9-segment LED meter display paired with RGB LEDs gives you clear visual feedback at a glance, and two rotary encoders and five push buttons provide tactile, responsive control you can rely on night after night. The controller configures flexibly to manage single-zone, four-zone, or eight-zone control depending on your system architecture and software setup.
