BSS EC-4BV-BLK-US Ethernet Controller

BSS EC-4BV-BLK-US Ethernet Controller

The BSS EC-4BV-BLK-US is a professional wall-mounted control interface for integrated audio system management in live and installed venues. This single-gang Decora-format controller puts real-time hands-on access to networked audio devices within arm's reach, delivering the tactile feedback and immediate visual confirmation that sound engineers and system operators need during performances, broadcasts, and permanent installations.

Control Interface & Display

The controller features a push/rotary encoder with dedicated encoder ring alongside four programmable buttons, giving operators straightforward input methods for on-the-fly adjustments and preset recall during live events. A 64x128-pixel LCD screen with eight-color multi-color backlighting and adjustable intensity remains readable under stage lighting and in varying ambient conditions, while a sleep mode automatically dims LEDs when the controller sits idle, preserving long-term reliability in venues running extended shifts or marathon sessions.

Network Architecture & Compatibility

A single Ethernet port with Power over Ethernet (PoE) keeps wiring clean and eliminates the need for separate power runs, while establishing communication with BSS Audio Soundweb London, Crown DCi series amplifiers, and other HiQnet-compatible devices. System design and reconfiguration happen through the HiQnet Audio Architect software with drag-and-drop interface, letting you modify routing and settings without breaking down the rig mid-service.
