Overview
Ensure clear, code-compliant emergency voice paging and distributed audio monitoring with the BSS by Harman BLU-160 Signal Processor. This pro audio processor is engineered for life-safety and security applications, combining EN 54-16 compliance with a high-capacity 256-channel BLU Link digital bus to deliver deterministic, low-latency audio across networks. Using standard Category 5e cabling (or optional fiber links for long runs), the BLU-160 simplifies installation for multi-zone paging, surveillance audio feeds and 24/7 monitoring systems. Four user-configurable card slots support analog inputs/outputs, AES/SPDIF, AEC and telephone hybrid cards so you can tailor I/O to each control room or camera/audio rack. Front-panel LEDs and device information reduce onsite troubleshooting time, while HiQnet London Architect integration and GPIO support make it straightforward to tie into third-party security and building management systems. Ideal for campuses, transport hubs, hospitals and corporate security centers, the BSS BLU-160 provides dependable networked audio for life-safety, surveillance and monitoring deployments. Contact your integrator to specify the BLU-160 for your next security or AV monitoring project.
