Introduction

This guide was written with the aim of guiding you through the installation of

a Soundweb™ London BLU-USB interface. We recommend that you read this

installation guide before attempting to install and operate the device.

The Soundweb London BLU- USB is an 8 x 8 USB/BLU link bridge — 8 channels

from BLU link to USB, and 8 channels from USB to BLU link.

The BLU- USB adds USB audio functionality to a Soundweb London system,

using BLU link as the interconnecting audio transport. The BLU-USB can also

be connected to other BLU link-compatible devices from Crown®, dbx®, JBL®,

Soundcraft®, and more.

Multiple BLU- USB devices can exist on a single BLU link bus. This can be useful

for applications requiring multiple USB audio locations — for example, in a

conferencing environment, where multiple computer audio connections are

required around a large conference table.

Other BLU-USB example applications include:

• Conferencing using soft codecs

Interface Cisco Jabber®, Microsoft® Skype® for Business, etc. with a

Soundweb London system.

• Background music and audio announcement playback

Interface a computer with a Soundweb London system for use as a media

server.

• Archiving

Interface a computer with a Soundweb London system for courtroom,

interview, conference, lecture, or classroom audio capture.

• Studio/Live Sound

Provides 8 x 8 bridge between BLU link-equipped audio system and

computer for software audio analysis or capture.

The BLU-USB is easy to integrate and use thanks to the following features:

• No programming required.

• BLU link bus sample rate is automatically detected and conﬁgured.

• BLU link on-ramp and off-ramp channel bank assignments are made using

the set of DIP switches located on the BLU-USB chassis.

• USB mode (2 x 2 or 8 x 8 channel I/O) can be selected using the MODE

pushbutton next to the USB port.

• No driver installation necessary when used in 2 x 2 mode.

1. Power Input

Connect the included power supply to this input. See 'Applying Power to

the BLU-USB' on page 7 for more information.

2. BLU link Input/Output Ports

Connect these RJ45 ports to another BLU link-equipped device. See

'Making Connections' on page 8 for more information.

3. DIP Switches

Use these DIP switches to assign BLU link on-ramp (from computer to

BLU link) and off-ramp (from BLU link to computer) channel banks. See

'Assigning BLU link Channels with the DIP Switches' on page 6 for

more information.

4. USB Port

Connect this port to the computer's USB port. See 'Selecting the USB

Mode' on page 11 for more information.

5. MODE Pushbutton

This pushbutton selects between the two available USB modes: Class 1

mode (2 x 2 channels) or Class 2 mode (8 x 8 channels). See 'Selecting the

INSTALLATION

Minimum Computer Requirements

Mac®

• OS X® 10.8 or later

• Available USB 1.0 or higher port for Class 1 (2 x 2) Mode

• Available USB 2.0 high speed or higher port for Class 2 (8 x 8) Mode

• Windows® 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (32-bit/64-bit)

• Available USB 1.0 or higher port for Class 1 (2 x 2) Mode

• Available USB 2.0 high speed or higher port for Class 2 (8 x 8) Mode

IMPORTANT: If using Windows 7, the Windows KB3033929 update (released March

2015) is required to use the BLU-USB in Class 2 (8 x 8) mode.

Installing the Windows Driver

The Windows driver is only necessary when (1) routing more than 2 channels to/

from the Windows computer; and/or (2) operating the BLU link bus at a 96kHz

sample rate.

To use the full capabilities of the BLU-USB with a Windows computer, the BLU-

USB Windows driver must be installed. The Windows driver provides support for

up to 8 x 8 channels of I/O between USB and BLU link, and support for a BLU

link bus operating at 96kHz.

To install the Windows driver:

1. Go to http://bssaudio.com/en-US/products/blu-usb and download the

driver.

2. Disconnect the BLU-USB from the computer if it is connected.

3. Launch the Driver Installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: If using a Mac computer, the BLU-USB will use the Core Audio driver that

was installed with OS X, so no additional drivers are necessary.

Installation

Mounting the BLU-USB

The BLU-USB comes equipped with rubber feet to prevent it from sliding when

placed on a desktop or other surface. The BLU-USB can also be mounted to a

surface (e.g., wall, desk, conference table, etc.) using the included mounting

brackets.

To mount the BLU-USB:

1. Mount the included brackets to the side of the BLU-USB chassis using the

four included ﬁne-threaded screws.

2. Mount the BLU-USB to the surface using the four included coarse-

threaded screws and washers.

Mounting Surface

NOTE: For best results, pre-drill the holes in the mounting surface. This

can be accomplished by measuring then marking the hole locations, or

by placing the BLU-USB in the mounting position then marking the hole

locations. Make sure to use a drill bit which is slightly smaller in diameter

than the included mounting screws.

Installation

Assigning BLU link Channels with the DIP Switches

BLU link on-ramp and off-ramp channels can be assigned in banks of 8 using

the DIP switches.

ON-RAMP = From computer to BLU link bus.

OFF-RAMP = From BLU link bus to computer.

The following table shows how to set the DIP switches for the desired bank of

channels. This table can also be found printed on the bottom of the BLU-USB

chassis.

NOTE: Channels 1-256 are available when operating at a 48kHz BLU link sample

rate; channels 1-128 are available when operating at a 96kHz BLU link sample

rate.

IMPORTANT NOTE: BLU link does not support multiple devices assigned to the

same on-ramp channels. When assigning the BLU-USB on-ramp channel bank,

ensure that channel bank assignment is unique, and that no other BLU link

devices on the bus are transmitting on the same channels.

Installation

Applying Power to the BLU-USB

To apply power to the BLU-USB:

1. Connect the included power supply's 2-pin Euroblock connector to the

BLU-USB's Power input.

2. Connect the included IEC power cable from the power supply to the AC

mains outlet.

NOTE: The BLU-USB does not support USB bus power and must be powered

using the included power supply.
