Bluesound Professional offers a versatile way to incorporate streaming music
into a commercial installation. A fusion of hardware and software, Bluesound
Professional’s suite of streamers, amplifi ers, speakers, controllers, and
accessories bring easy-to-install, expandable, and confl ict-free networked
audio to retail shops, restaurants, bars, gyms, and other hospitality use
cases.
Powered by the established BluOS multi-zone audio content management
interface, Bluesound Professional is designed to have decentralized processing
power so designers and integrators have maximum flexibility to add streaming
to existing installations or to build anew. Audio streaming capabilities can
be added to a system head using a Bluesound Professional streamer, regardless
of which amplifi ers are being used. Alternatively, Ethernet cables can be run
to a Bluesound Professional speaker, which contains all the necessary
processing power to stream audio content without changing the confi guration
of the system head.
Easily Create Branded Environments
With hardware that supports nearly unlimited zones of audio and a natively-
integrated commercially-licensed music streaming service in SoundMachine,
Bluesound Professional makes easy work of creating branded environments for
your clients.
Add Audio Streaming to Existing or New Installations
Bluesound Professional’s decentralized processing capabilities gives designers
and installers maximum fl exibility to add audio streaming to installations,
whether existing or new.
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.
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.

Ultimate Versatility
Bluesound Professional offers the most versatile way to incorporate streaming music into a commercial installation. Unlike other solutions in the market, Bluesound Professional products can be easily grandfathered into existing installations or designed and installed anew. For example, using the Bluesound Professional system, streaming can be incorporated into a new or existing installation in one of two ways:
At the system head
A Bluesound Professional streamer, like the B400S 4-Zone BluOS Network
Streaming Player, can be added to the system head and connected to an existing
distribution amplifier and speaker configuration. The streamer would be
connected to the network and either via the BluOS Controller app or a
Bluesound Professional hardware controller like the CP100, the system can then
access a variety of source options including business music streaming services
or analog/digital sources connected to a HUB.

At the end-point
The decentralized way in which the Bluesound Professional products are
designed means that without making changes to the system head, streaming music
can be achieved with the addition of BluOS Enabled end points like theBSP125,
a powered speaker that houses advanced processing capabilities. Simply run
power and an ethernet connection to the speaker and through the BluOS
Controller app or the CP100, the user can have full control of streamed audio
content. Additional analogue and digital sources may also be provided by
utilizing the HUB and CS-1.
This flexibility in system design gives commercial integrators the ability to
optimize configurations for efficiency, regardless of use case.
