Bluesound Professional announces B170S Networked Streaming Stereo Amplifier

Bluesound Professional, a music distribution ecosystem for commercial spaces, continues its development of commercial music players with its announcement of the B170S Networked Streaming Stereo Amplifier, an amplified streamer.

Features like low-impedance lines out, constant voltage option, energy-efficient amplification technology and a compact form factor makes the B170S appropriate for bulk speaker installations and daisy-chained speaker setups.

The B170S is designed to work with a range of installations. Aside from 4 or 8 Ohm low impedance outputs, there is also a 70/100V constant voltage option that allows for daisy-chained speakers.

The amplifier section of the B170S offers various power options: 2 x 80W into 4/8Ω, 2 x 100W at 70V, or 1 x 100W at 100V. Additionally, thermostatic fan cooling and a standby mode consuming 6W of power helps with reliable operation in commercial environments.

Thanks to its sleek design, the B170S can be mounted vertically or horizontally, allowing it to hide under shelves, tables or on walls. Keyhole slots allow for stealthy mounting options closer to where speakers will be installed. Up to 6 B170S units can be rack mounted into a 3U space with the racking accessory.

Bluesound Professional’s partner music services like SoundMachine, Custom Channels, SiriusXM for Business, Qsic, Tunify and others, are natively integrated and easily controlled on the B170S using the built-in operating system BluOS. Group multiple zones of audio using the BluOS app and have control of all your audio zones while being able to select legal, commercially licensed music from countless streaming services.
