BSS BSSBLU-BIB-M BSS BLU-BIB Break-In Box Input Expander

Expand analog input capacity quickly and reliably with the BSS by Harman BLU-BIB Break-In Box input expander — designed for professional AV, security and surveillance deployments that demand dependable audio capture. This audio input expander provides eight mic/line inputs with per-channel gain and phantom power controls accessible from the front panel, so onsite technicians can optimize levels for live monitoring or recording without a laptop. Integrated LED metering and front-panel lockout/stealth modes secure settings in public or unattended areas, making it ideal for monitoring suites and distributed surveillance systems.

Built for resilient networks, the BLU-BIB connects over the Soundweb London 256-channel, low-latency, fault-tolerant digital audio bus using standard Category 5e (up to 100 m) or fiber via a media converter for links beyond 10 km. Channel assignment is fast and deterministic via rear DIP switches, enabling predictable integration into large routing matrices and pro audio processors. Rack-mountable and powered by the included 12V DC adapter, the BLU-BIB delivers a compact, serviceable solution for expanding inputs in conferencing, security, and broadcast monitoring environments. Add the BLU-BIB to your Soundweb London system to scale input capacity for secure surveillance and monitoring applications.

• Seamlessly expand mic/line capacity: adds 8 analog inputs so you can capture more sources for AV, security and surveillance systems.
• Rock-solid network reliability: 256-channel, low-latency, fault-tolerant digital audio bus reduces downtime and preserves monitoring integrity.
• Local control for fast adjustments: front-panel gain, phantom power and LED metering let technicians optimize signals on-site without software.
• Tamper-resistant operation: front-panel lockout and stealth mode protect settings in public or unattended installations.
• Flexible deployment: Cat5e connectivity up to 100m (or fiber via media converter for >10km), half-rack mountable form factor and included 12V DC power simplify installation.
