BSS BLU-DA Dante / AES67 to BLU link Bridge

The BLU-DA, formerly the BLU-DAN, transmits and receives up to 64 channels of Dante or AES67 audio simultaneously and lands them on the Soundweb London BLU link bus. It is the part that lets an installed BLU link system talk to a Dante plant that arrived later, without replacing the processors already in the rack.

Primary and secondary Dante ports give a fault-tolerant network path, with device control on a separate Ethernet port so audio and control can be kept on different networks. Dante 4.0 firmware support brings it under Dante Domain Manager. On the BLU link side it carries the full 256-channel bus over Cat 5e at 100 m per hop, or past 40 km through fiber media converters. The half-rack 1RU chassis is EN 54-16 compliant for life safety applications.
