The BSS BLU-USB is an outstanding USB to Bluetooth link interface that enables seamless audio transmission. It allows you to directly send audio from your PC or Mac to the BLU link audio bus. This makes it incredibly easy to use softphones in conferencing systems or play audio directly to/from your computer. Key features include simple integration with Harman audio systems, direct digital conversion to the BLU link, elimination of USB distance limitations, and multiple mounting options. Technical specs: Without driver (Class 1), it offers 2 x 2 plug - n - play operation at 48kHz. With driver (Class 2), 8 x 8 operation at 48/96kHz. It supports sound file sample rates from 8kHz - 192kHz and bit depths of 16 - bit and 24 - bit (24 - bit for best performance). It supports Windows WDM, ASIO and Mac Core Audio drivers. The BLU link bus supports 48kHz, 96kHz (Class 2 USB mode only), with 2 x RJ45 Ethernet connectors, a maximum cable length of 100m/328ft on Category 5e cable, pass - through latency of 4/Fs <0.08ms at 48kHz, 0.04ms at 96kHz, and a maximum of 60 nodes. It runs on 100 - 240V AC, 50/60Hz, consumes 4 Watts, and operates at 5 - 35 degrees C. It weighs 1 lb. (0.45 kg) and has dimensions of 97.8 mm (W) x 39.9 mm (H) x 144.0 mm (D).
Using the BSS BLU - USB is a breeze. First, connect the device to your PC or Mac via USB. If you want to use the basic 2 x 2 operation, you don't need to install a driver. But for the 8 x 8 operation, install the appropriate driver. Connect the device to the BLU link audio bus using the RJ45 Ethernet connectors. Make sure to use a Category 5e cable if the distance between devices is up to 100m/328ft. When playing audio, ensure your sound files have a sample rate between 8kHz - 192kHz and a bit depth of 16 - bit or 24 - bit. For the best sound quality, go for 24 - bit. The device can handle different mains voltages from 100 - 240V AC, so it's suitable for various regions. Keep it in an environment where the temperature is between 5 and 35 degrees C. Maintenance is simple. Just keep it clean and avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme heat. If you have any issues, check the connections and make sure the drivers are installed correctly.
