BSS BLU-DAN BLU link Accessories
The BSS BLU-DAN is a compact half-rack bridge that integrates Dante and AES67 audio networks with BLU link systems, making it an essential tool for professional live sound and installed audio applications. This 1RU device handles massive channel counts with fault-tolerant networking, delivering the redundancy and scalability that demanding venues and touring rigs demand.
Network Architecture & Channel Capacity
The BLU-DAN simultaneously transmits and receives up to 64 channels of Dante or AES67 audio (64×64), while the BLU link bus itself supports 256 audio channels at 48 kHz. Dual primary and secondary RJ45 Dante ports provide automatic fault tolerance, ensuring uninterrupted operation if one link fails—critical for venues where downtime is not an option.
Connectivity & Distance Flexibility
The device uses standard Category 5e cabling with a 100-meter distance between compatible devices, and a dedicated separate Ethernet port handles control traffic independently. Fiber media converters can extend distances to over 40 kilometers, making the BLU-DAN suitable for everything from fixed installations to large touring productions that span multiple buildings or outdoor areas.
