The Bluesound Professional B400S is a 4-zone network music player designed specifically for use in commercial installations. This 1U player 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, Custom Channels, QSIC, SiriusXM Music for Business and Tunify.. These sources can be played to one or more of the four available stereo zones with the B400S effectively acting as four independent players with the capability of completely separate content and control, or grouping into user-definable groups of whatever size required with different zones within the BS400S and/or any other connected Bluesound Professional players on the network.

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.
