BSS EC-8BV-BLK-US Ethernet Controller
The BSS EC-8BV-BLK-US is a professional networked control surface built for studio facilities and recording spaces requiring remote device management and real-time monitoring across distributed audio systems. This dual-gang form factor controller integrates into standard US Decora wall plates, delivering tactile command over networked gear with instant visual feedback via dual LCD displays and multi-color illuminated controls. Engineered for reliable studio operation, it unites hardware immediacy with flexible Ethernet-based connectivity—ideal for producers and engineers managing complex session routing, device monitoring, and studio automation from a centralized control point.
Network Integration & Power
A single Ethernet port manages configuration, control, monitoring, and power delivery via PoE, eliminating dedicated power infrastructure in your studio. The controller draws 44–57VDC at 13W maximum, and supports standard Ethernet cable runs up to 328 feet (100 meters) with VW-1 rated, 48VDC cable—enabling placement anywhere on your studio network with minimal additional wiring.
Control & Display Hardware
Eight tactile buttons, one push/rotary encoder with illuminated ring, and dual 64×128 pixel LCD screens provide comprehensive session control and device status at a glance. All interactive elements feature multi-color backlighting with 8 selectable colors and adjustable intensity, offering clear visual feedback in any studio lighting setup and intuitive status indication for networked audio devices during recording and mixing.
