Use the BLU-DAN Dante/AES67 to BLU Link Bridge Processor from BSS Audio to add Dante/AES67 connectivity to your BLU Link device. The system incorporates a BLU Link audio bus with 256 audio channels at 48 kHz. The processor enables you to send and receive up to 64 x 64 channels of audio simultaneously at 48 kHz to and from other Dante-enabled devices. The unit offers a primary and a secondary RJ45 Dante port for fault tolerance. The Secondary port can be configured for Switched or Redundant operation using Dante 4.0 Controller software. When a device is set for Switched operation, the Secondary Ethernet port will behave as a standard switch port, allowing daisy-chaining through the device.

The unit features two Dante/AES67 RJ45 ports as well as a RS-232 and an additional RJ45 port for control. Additional features include a front panel with LED indicators, HiQnet Audio Architect, and a half-rack design. The BLU-DAN is compatible with separately available Cat 5e / 6 cables up to 328' and comes with a rackmounting hardware, power cable, and rubber feet.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Wanted to verify this will work with Playback from Multitrack running on a 2020 MacBook running on an SQ5?

A: This will add Dante netorking to the SQ consoles and work with any other device on your Dante network.

Q: 2. Will this work with the Allen & Heath ME-U 10-Port Monitor Hub for ME-1?

A: You would require BH #ALAHMDANTEA for that compatibility.

Q: 3. Can this product burn dual and/or 3 layer Blu-ray discs?

A: This can support Blu Ray dual layer discs but not triple layer.

Q: 4. Will the LG BH16NS40 record 4-layer Blu-rays, i.e. full BDXL 128 GB capacity?

A: It can write quad layer to 128GB.

Q: 5. Is this rack compatible for mounting Tascam VS-R265?

A: Yes, Tascam specifies the Tascam 1-RU Rack-Mountable Shelf for Dante Compact Processor Series (AK-RS1) as a compatible option for mounting two Tascam VS-R265 units side by side.

Q: 6. Would I be able to record 64 channels of multitrack audio at 96kHz with this card in the SQ?

A: The SQ mixers can only process up to 48 channels, so that would present a limitation. The Dante Virtual Soundcard is also not capable of 64x64 operation at 96 kHz, so the Allen & Heath SQ Dante Module for SQ Mixers and AHM-64 Audio Processor would not be able to be used in that particular way.

Q: 7. Does using this device help the connection stability of the Sidus Mesh Network, when I set it as the master fixture?

A: No, the The Sidus Link® Bridge is a 2.4GHz RF/Bluetooth intermediary wireless transceiver allows users to connect their legacy 2.4GHz Aputure lighting fixtures, such as the HR672, Tri-8, LS C120d II, & LS C300d with the Sidus Link® mobile app.

Q: 8. Can the Dante side of the AVB-D16 operate in AES-67 mode?

A: The PreSonus AVB-D16 Network Bridge 16x16 Two-Way AVB-to-Dante does not feature an AES67 mode or purport the ability to communicate with other devices using this protocol.

Q: 9. If I run all my inputs through the back of the board or through a stage box via s-link, will I see those inputs on the network?

A: Yes, it is possible to route all of the mixer's inputs through the Allen & Heath SQ Dante Module to connect to a Dante Network. You will be able to see the inputs on the network when viewing the Routing Page. The Input Direct Outputs get routed to the Dante card.

Q: 10. Is the fan noisy?

A: The fan in this module should offer quiet operation.

[55 VA] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used this to backup my bought Blu-ray disc and CDs. With MakeMKV I can rip my Blu-ray discs in about 20 minutes and with a 33 GB output file. The drive is very quiet in operation and seems to work well. I've not actually burned any discs with it yet, but will start backing up my photos at some point, and it's good to know that the M discs should last longer than standard Blu-rays. 5

[60] We've had this box for several years. About a year into ownership, a port died. We emailed PSC, and they fixed it quickly at no charge. The mult box has be rock solid and the customer service is outstanding. 5

[5.3 lb / 2.4 kg] The Go blu is great for portable use. It matches well with my LETSHUOER S12 Pro IEMs. It has a livelier sound than DAPs I've used. I use my Pixel 7 running Plexamp. I connect using LDAC to the Go Blu. Then I use a Balanced connection from the Go blu to my IEMs. I've experienced no Noise/hiss using the balanced connection. If you're concerned about the no clip issue B&H sells iFi's Go blu leather case with the integrated clip. I've also tried the Go blu with easy to drive headphones and it did fine. I haven't tested the bluetooth distance, but with the phone near me I never loose conections. I have rarely noticed a skip but since I'm streaming music from my NAS to Plexamp on my phone, then using bluetooth to the unit, who's to know what causes that. It might even be the files. Overall, I'm very impressed with the Go blu. It turns almost any headphone into a bluetooth headphone. 5

[21 x 11.9 x 5"] I'm using this to get audio out of an Amazon Echo into my AoIP network. Works great! 5

John	22/07/2024
[0.15 to 5.0 ms] I know it seems kind of expensive, but if you want to clip the Go blu to your clothes you kind of need it. That being said, it is really nice quality. It's two-tone stitched genuine leather. It looks hand made. The only quibble I'd have is you can't push the Go blu too far down in the case or the volume knob will rub. Also, you pretty much have to turn the knob from the top because it doesn't stick out far enough from the case. The button in the knob is full accessible. And the other buttons can be pressed through the leather and the case has little markings where they are. 5

[60] We have a set of 120D-II's and the original Amaran 672's in one of our studios, and this unit is a must for anyone still trying to set those with the little remotes. This essentially lets you use the Sidus Link app on your phone to send remote commands to your old Aputure lights. You can still set up different channels just like you would for the remote units, so a single Link Bridge can control four different banks of lights. 5

[21 x 11.9 x 5"] Easy to install, and use also looks outstanding doing it. Compatible to all my Operating Systems. 5

Jim	08/06/2024
[55 VA] This is what I was looking for for a pair of remote powered speakers. �My only bit of annoyance is that I bought a powersupply for the unit, not knowing that it already comes with one. �There is currently no mention on the B&H web page that one comes with the unit. 5
