BSS EC-4BV-WHT-US Ethernet Controller

BSS EC-4BV-WHT-US Ethernet Controller

The BSS EC-4BV-WHT-US is a wall-mounted control interface that integrates seamlessly into standard US Decora switch plates, serving as a dedicated hardware control point for networked studio and installed audio systems. Its single-gang white faceplate houses an intuitive encoder and button layout, delivering responsive tactile feedback for real-time parameter adjustment in HiQnet-compatible environments. This controller bridges software configuration and hands-on hardware operation, essential for studios where mixing, monitoring, and system management converge at a single, accessible control surface.

Control Interface & Workflow Integration

The encoder ring, push/rotary encoder, and four dedicated buttons provide immediate access to system parameters—level control, routing, DSP parameters, and monitoring functions—without requiring a computer or mobile device at the control point. A 64×128 pixel LCD display with eight-color adjustable backlight delivers clear visual feedback in tracking rooms, control rooms, and edit suites, while the sleep function automatically dims all LEDs after a specified idle period to reduce power consumption and visual distraction during recording and mixing sessions.

Network Integration & System Security

A single Ethernet port handles all configuration, control, monitoring, and power delivery via Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power runs or USB connections and simplifying studio network architecture. Remote and local security features—including four-digit PIN-protected unlock—prevent unauthorized adjustments to critical mix parameters and session settings while still allowing supervised access through the HiQnet Audio Architect drag-and-drop software platform for session-based reconfiguration.
