BSS BLU-DAN BLU link Accessories
The BSS BLU-DAN is a compact half-rack bridge that integrates Dante and AES67 audio networks with BLU link systems, enabling seamless network routing for multi-room recording studios, large-format mixing facilities, and complex session environments. This 1RU device handles massive channel counts with fault-tolerant networking, delivering the redundancy and scalability that professional recording workflows and distributed studio setups demand.
Network Architecture & Channel Capacity
The BLU-DAN simultaneously transmits and receives up to 64 channels of Dante or AES67 audio (64×64), while the BLU link bus itself supports 256 audio channels at 48 kHz. Dual primary and secondary RJ45 Dante ports provide automatic fault tolerance, ensuring uninterrupted operation if one link fails—essential for recording sessions where signal continuity and data integrity cannot be compromised.
Connectivity & Distance Flexibility
The device uses standard Category 5e cabling with a 100-meter distance between compatible devices, and a dedicated separate Ethernet port handles control traffic independently. Fiber media converters can extend distances to over 40 kilometers, making the BLU-DAN suitable for everything from single-room studios to multi-location recording productions, satellite monitoring setups, and networked mastering chain configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What audio networks does the BLU-DAN support?
It bridges Dante and AES67 audio networks to BLU link systems, handling up to 64×64 simultaneous Dante or AES67 channels while supporting 256 total audio channels at 48 kHz on the BLU link bus.
How does fault tolerance work?
Dual primary and secondary RJ45 Dante ports provide automatic failover; if one Dante link fails, the network switches to the secondary port instantly, keeping audio flowing without interruption.
What's the maximum cable distance, and can I extend it?
Standard Category 5e cabling reaches 100 meters between compatible devices; fiber media converters can extend distances to over 40 kilometers for large touring productions or multi-building installations.
What's included in the package?
The unit ships with a power cord, rack ears with mounting screws, rubber feet, and an install guide; it occupies 1RU in a half-rack form factor.
Is there a separate port for control traffic?
Yes, a dedicated separate Ethernet port handles control traffic independently from the Dante/AES67 audio paths, ensuring clean signal routing and network stability.
