BlueSound BSP 500 PoE Network Speaker

Bluesound Professional BSP500 - The network streaming masterpiece

Immerse yourself in the world of sound of the Bluesound Professional BSP500, the active network loudspeaker with integrated streaming function, which was specially developed for use in commercial indoor or outdoor installations. This marvel of engineering is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing a single cable connection to the speaker for both power and audio. The player in the BSP500 is based on the proven BluOS platform and is capable of playing and distributing content from local network storage and a variety of streaming services. This includes services specifically designed for commercial use such as SoundMachine, Custom Channels, QSIC, SiriusXM Music for Business, Tunify and Radio Stations. Regardless of whether it is used independently or in a network - the BSP500 is convincing in every application scenario.

The speaker features a 5.25' woofer and 1' tweeter driven by a highly efficient amplifier, including an energy-saving standby mode. The speaker's frequency response extends from 63Hz to 23kHz and the system's THD+N is 0.095% at full power rating. Access to content and power is via wired Ethernet for uninterrupted streaming. Highly efficient electronics and drive units ensure a maximum sound pressure level of 100 dB (using PoE++).

The speaker can be controlled from any Windows/Mac computer as well as from any iOS/Android smartphone or tablet and the Bluesound Professional CP100 wall mount controller. Third-party control is also possible with any of the leading systems. Safety precautions prevent unauthorized control of the system.

An integrated bracket allows for wall mounting with 90 degree rotation and 170 degree rotation. The IP65 rating allows for both indoor and outdoor use. The BSP500 is more than just a speaker - it's an experience that combines sound, quality and innovation, bringing extraordinary sound experiences to your commercial space.
