Description
BSS EC-4BV-BLK-US Ethernet Controller
The BSS EC-4BV-BLK-US is a professional wall-mounted control interface designed for integrated audio system management in the studio environment. This single-gang Decora-format controller delivers tactile, real-time access to networked audio devices through an intuitive combination of physical controls and visual feedback, making it essential for permanent studio installations requiring hands-on parameter adjustment during recording and mixing sessions.
Control Interface & Display
The controller features a push/rotary encoder with dedicated encoder ring alongside four programmable buttons, giving engineers multiple input methods for system navigation and session preset recall. A 64x128-pixel LCD screen with eight-color multi-color backlighting and adjustable intensity provides clear visual feedback in any studio lighting condition, while a sleep mode automatically dims LEDs during periods of inactivity to extend component lifespan and reduce visual distraction during recording.
Network Architecture & Studio Integration
Connectivity is handled through a single Ethernet port supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power infrastructure while enabling communication with BSS Audio Soundweb London, Crown DCi series amplifiers, and other HiQnet-compatible devices in your networked studio setup. Configuration and system design are managed through the HiQnet Audio Architect software with drag-and-drop interface, streamlining setup and reconfiguration between projects and sessions.

At a Glance
The BSS EC-4BV-BLK-US is a professional networked audio controller designed for studio control rooms, broadcast facilities, and permanent recording installations that require integrated management of multiple audio devices over Ethernet. Its physical controls—rotary encoder, four programmable buttons, and backlit LCD display—let you recall presets and adjust parameters in real time without touching a computer, while HiQnet Audio Architect software handles configuration with a drag-and-drop workflow. Choose it to add hands-on system control to a networked audio setup where reliability, local dimming, and PIN-based security are priorities.
Who This Is For
| Best suited for | installed sound systems, broadcast facilities, networked audio management, permanent installations |
|---|---|
| Less specialized for | portable live sound, home studio use, single-device control (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily) |
| Skill level | Professional |
Frequently Asked Questions
What systems does the BSS EC-4BV-BLK-US control?
It connects via Ethernet to BSS Audio Soundweb London devices, Crown DCi series amplifiers, and any HiQnet-compatible networked audio equipment. Configuration is managed through HiQnet Audio Architect software with a drag-and-drop interface.
Does this controller need a separate power supply?
No. The single Ethernet port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), so the controller draws power directly from the network infrastructure.
What are the physical control options?
A push/rotary encoder with dedicated encoder ring provides smooth parameter adjustment, and four programmable buttons allow quick access to presets and functions. A 64x128-pixel LCD screen with eight-color backlighting and adjustable intensity displays feedback in any lighting condition.
Is this suitable for portable or temporary live sound?
No. This controller is purpose-built for permanent wall-mounted installations in venues, broadcast facilities, and networked audio systems where fixed deployment is the requirement.
Does it offer security features?
Yes. The controller supports remote and local PIN-based locking and unlocking to prevent unauthorized parameter changes, and includes an LED sleep mode for automatic power management.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
