Bluesound Professional BSP500 PoE Network Streaming Speaker

The Bluesound Professional BSP500 is a network-active loudspeaker designed for indoor or outdoor commercial installations. Powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), it enables a single-wire connection for both power and audio. Built on the BluOS platform, the BSP500 streams content from local storage and various services, including SoundMachine, Custom Channels, QSIC, SiriusXM Music for Business, Tunify, and radio stations. It can be used standalone, in stereo pairs, or grouped with multiple units in mono or stereo configurations. Integration into a larger BluOS system allows flexible grouping with other BSP500 units or connected Bluesound Professional players, amplifiers, or network speakers.

Featuring a 5.25” LF driver and 1” HF driver powered by a high-efficiency amplifier with a low-power standby mode, the speaker offers a frequency response of 63Hz-23kHz and 0.095% THD+N at full power. Content and power are accessed via wired Ethernet for glitch-free streaming, with a maximum SPL of 100dB using PoE++. Control is available through Windows/Mac computers, iOS/Android devices, the CP100 wall mount controller, or third-party systems, with security measures in place.

An integral bracket allows for wall mounting with 90 degrees of swivel and 170 degrees of rotation. The IP65 rating ensures suitability for both indoor and outdoor use.
