BSS BLU-8-V2-WHT Zone controller

BSS BLU-8-V2-WHT Zone Controller

The BSS BLU-8-V2-WHT is a compact, wall-mounted zone controller engineered for multi-zone studio and control room environments where reliable monitoring distribution and independent level management are critical. Its intuitive two-encoder, five-button interface provides direct tactile control without requiring external software or complex menu diving. This HiQnet-compatible device delivers precise audio routing and level management for tracking setups, mixing sessions, broadcast suites, and networked studio facilities where you need independent monitor or distribution feeds.

Control Architecture & Operational Flexibility

Three distinct operational modes—Single Mode (one page), Button Mode (four pages), and Encoder Mode (eight pages)—allow the controller to manage one, four, or up to eight zones depending on your signal distribution setup. The two rotary encoders and five push buttons provide hands-on control without deep menu structures, enabling real-time level and routing adjustments during sessions without interrupting workflow.

Display, Feedback & Security

A 9-segment LED meter with customizable RGB LEDs provides clear visual feedback for zone levels, with assignable color coding for quick identification during complex multitrack or multiroom sessions. The integrated 4-digit PIN lockout feature prevents accidental fader moves during sensitive recording work, while sleep mode automatically dims LEDs after a preset inactivity period, reducing power consumption and visual noise in the control room.
