Bluesound B160S

Bluesound B160S Networked Streaming Stereo Amplifier

The Bluesound Professional B160S networked streaming stereo amplifier is a complete solution for a commercial music installation. The B160S combines a high-quality stereo amplifier with a BluOS enabled network music player. The B160S’s HybridDigital™ amplifier section provides 2 x 60W of power into 8Ω – plenty for most small/medium spaces and thermostatic fan cooling provides for reliable operation in commercial environments. The amplifier technology is highly energy efficient and also has a standby mode consuming only 6W of power.

The player within the B160S is based on the established BluOS platform and is capable of playing and distributing content from local storage as well as from a large number of streaming services, including some specifically designed for commercial use, such as SoundMachine. As well as stand-alone use, it is possible to use the B160S in a larger BluOS system allowing for grouping into user-definable groups of whatever size is required with other B160S units and/or any other connected Bluesound Professional players on the network.

As well as the amplified outputs, a dedicated balanced line level subwoofer output is provided for connection to an active subwoofer. Access to network control is via ethernet for increased reliability. Balanced analog mic/line (with phantom powering) allows for the connection of a local source. A USB input further adds to the capability of the system by providing replay of files stored on connected drives. Built-in DSP allows for  equalization as well as other audio processing.

Control of the system can be accomplished by any Windows/Mac computer as well as iOS/Android phones or tablets and the Bluesound Professional CP100W wall mount controller. Third party control is also possible with any of the leading systems. Security provisions including no front-panel controls prevent any unauthorized control of the system, either locally or remotely.

The form factor of the B160S allows it to be mounted individually vertically or horizontally on or under shelves or tables or on walls. Up to six B160S units can be mounted side-by-side in a 3U space in a rack using the optional RM160 rack mounting shelf for a compact 12-channel system with six independent or group zones.
