The BLU-16 has all the I/O flexibility and DSP power of the BLU-80, but is a standalone device with no audio networking capability. This makes the BLU-16 a more cost-effective solution for the smaller install where a 16-input/output count is sufficient. Theme bars, restaurants, gymnasiums are typical examples of solutions which will be easily satisfied by the BLU-16.
All the control options which apply to the BLU-80 also apply to the BLU-16, including the ability to interface with the BLU-10 programmable controller. In fact, using a network crossover cable between the BLU-16 and BLU-10 avoids any need for additional Ethernet hardware.
