BSS EC-8BV-WHT-US Ethernet Controller

BSS EC-8BV-WHT-US Ethernet Controller

The BSS EC-8BV-WHT-US is a wall-mounted control interface designed for networked studio and live recording environments. Its compact dual-gang Decora form factor integrates seamlessly into standard wall plates, while the responsive push/rotary encoder and eight tactile buttons provide direct command access without requiring a separate control surface or software interface at the hardware level—ideal for real-time mixing and monitoring during sessions.

Control & Interface Design

The unit features one push/rotary encoder with an encoder ring, eight backlit buttons, and dual LCD screens, all capable of displaying eight different colors with adjustable intensity for clear visibility in any lighting condition. This tactile control set allows you to manage complex parameters and monitor system status directly from the wall, enabling hands-on workflow during recording, mixing, and live monitoring with minimal latency and hardware dependency.

Network & Power Architecture

A single Ethernet port handles configuration, control, monitoring, and power delivery via PoE, eliminating the need for separate control cables or external power supplies. The system supports cable runs up to 328 feet (100 meters) using VW-1 rated, 48VDC, 13W Ethernet cabling, making it practical for multi-room studios, networked recording facilities, and distributed mixing setups.
