AtlasIED 16x8 I/O Breakout Boxes for BlueBridge DSP Systems

The AtlasIED BB-168 Series breakout boxes are designed to expand analog I/O capability in BlueBridge DSP-based AV systems. Each unit features a compact 1RU rackmount form factor with 16 balanced analog inputs and 8 balanced analog outputs via DB-25 connectors, providing reliable signal interface for professional AV applications. These models ship fully assembled with external locking power supplies and rear-panel USB ports for service and configuration, ensuring simplified installation and long-term performance.

The BB-168 offers standard analog breakout functionality for traditional BlueBridge DSP integration. The BB-168DT includes Dante™ audio-over-IP connectivity for seamless networked audio compatibility. The BB-168AECDT builds upon the Dante model by adding an onboard AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) processor, making it ideal for conferencing applications where echo suppression is critical. Whether for simple analog expansion, Dante-based networking, or advanced echo cancellation needs, the BB-168 Series provides flexible and scalable solutions for modern AV installations.

The AtlasIED BB-168 and BB-168DT are high-performance breakout boxes designed for integration with BlueBridge DSP systems. Housed in a space-efficient 1RU chassis, these units provide 16 balanced analog inputs and 8 balanced analog outputs using industry-standard DB-25 connectors. Both models are ideal for AV installations requiring expanded input capacity while maintaining a streamlined rack presence. Designed for rack mounting and ready to install out of the box, they ensure clean integration and quick deployment in professional AV environments.

The BB-168DT builds on the core BB-168 functionality by adding integrated Dante™ digital audio networking. This allows for easy integration into audio-over-IP systems using standard Ethernet infrastructure. In contrast, the BB-168 offers the same analog I/O without Dante, for use in traditional BlueBridge systems. Both models include a locking external power supply and a USB port for rear-panel service access. They offer a reliable solution for scalable analog signal distribution across a variety of installation types.
