Just got Crown XTi for testing from JBL dealer I can keep them for a week!
Will test tomorrow M2 which is dry-ing from painting...
Tonight I`m testing DIY Tannoy the sound I`m familiar.

I bought BSS BLU-50 from an official dealer, needed for JBL-M2 processing, but it can't be detected from home network router (ASUS RT-N12+).

Should it work on my router or it requires a switch with PoE+ support or some other kind of connection device ?

Please help me if there is anything else that is important for connecting BLU-50 on a network to load processing files ?

Sorry if some of this is obvious.
Have you made sure to plug your ethernet cable into the ethernet port, and not the blu-link port?
The other end should go to a router. The router should be set up for DHCP. If the router works with regular PCs it is probably set up OK.
You are using an AC adapter to power the Blu50? It has some LEDs on to indicate that it has power?
Does the tiny led in the connector light up green when the network cord is plugged in?
Tried pressing the locate button?
Run the net-setter software to check if it is visible on the network?

Make sure you're using a straight Cat5 or Cat6 cable. Patch between one of the yellow ports on the router and the Ethernet port on the Blu50. PoE+ isn't necessary if you're powering the Blu50 locally using a 12v DC power supply. If not, you can pick up a PoE+ injector...you will need a second Cat5 or Cat6 patch cable for the injector. Make sure the injector is actually PoE+ and not just PoE, as PoE doesn't provide enough wattage to power the Blu50.

It may be that sometimes programs give splits like that and out of habbit we just re-write them.

I have measurement indicators at work that read out to five decimal places and even though I only need record out to four, I have to force myself to not write five.

Maybe it's just me.

I've been reading all these posts about cloning M2 monitors, but there's still few commentaries about how -the people that built them- end up liking them or how they end up sounding, etc.

Recently I had the oportunity to hear a real M2 set and I really liked them, but I do not see a lot of penetration of this product on the Studio market.(yet). I own a pair of 308 and they sound good, bearing in mind the price, and I noticed JBL released the new series 7, but did not heard them yet.
