The B170S’s amplifier section provides 2 x 80W of power into 4/8Ω or 2 x 100W at 70V or 1 x 100W at 100V. This provides plenty of power 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 addition of constant voltage outputs allows for long chains of small speakers to be powered with variable power tapping at each speaker giving control of local volume.

The form factor of the B170S allows it to be mounted individually vertically or horizontally on or under shelves or tables or on walls. Up to six B170S 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 grouped zones.

Seamless Integration with Control Systems
Bluesound Professional’s line of commercial streaming hardware allows flexible control by third-party control systems, and interfaces exist for all of today’s market-leading automation platforms. BluOS®, the multi-zone, music sharing software that underpins all Bluesound Professional players and active speakers, communicates with third-party control systems and platforms so that A/V system integrators, business owners, consultants and system designers can design seamless audio ecosystems to meet the needs of any commercial installation.

Plays Nicely with Others
Standard rack sizes and a wide range of standard inputs and outputs means that installation is quick and simple. The ecosystem’s modular design allows it to work seamlessly as an audio system on its own, or with audio components from other brands.

Add Audio Streaming to Existing or New Installations
Bluesound Professional’s decentralized processing capabilities gives designers and installers maximum flexibility to add audio streaming to installations, whether existing or new.

Easy to Configure
Self-discovery makes set-up and configuration painless, as Bluesound Professional players placed onto the same network will find each other automatically. A few taps on the intuitive icons in the BluOS Controller app will group players to create zoned audio content and lock-out unauthorized users.
