Bluesound CP100 – PoE Wall Mount Control Panel for BluOS Zones

Product Overview

The Bluesound Professional CP100 is a low-profile PoE-powered wall-mount control panel for all Bluesound Professional players and active speakers running BluOS. It provides on-wall zone control — volume, play/pause/mute, and recall of up to five programmable presets — without requiring a mobile device or control system interface. The CP100 connects via a single RJ45 ethernet cable for both data and PoE power, and mounts flush to the wall using standard international electrical back-boxes, making it straightforward to integrate into any commercial AV installation.

Product Description

The CP100 features a glass-surface control panel with illuminated capacitive touch controls that activate on approach and dim when not in use, maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance in commercial interiors. Controls illuminate only when needed, reducing visual clutter and blending naturally into hospitality, corporate, and institutional wall finishes. The control panel can be locked to prevent unauthorized zone adjustments — a standard requirement in commercial environments where multiple users share a space.

The CP100 is compatible with all Bluesound Professional players and active speakers including the B400S, B170S, B160S, B100S, and the BSP and BCS speaker series. It gives front-of-house staff, reception areas, or classroom users direct access to zone control without needing the BluOS app. The PoE connection means no separate power supply is required; the CP100 draws its operating power from the same PoE switch as the rest of the BluOS system infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CP100 require a separate power supply?

No. The CP100 is PoE-powered via its RJ45 ethernet connection. It draws operating power from the same managed or unmanaged PoE switch serving the BluOS system, with no separate power supply needed.

How many CP100 panels can be connected to a single BluOS player?

Multiple CP100 panels can be assigned to control the same zone. This is useful in large commercial spaces — such as a hotel corridor or restaurant — where staff access points are needed in multiple locations.

Can the CP100 control multiple zones?

Each CP100 is assigned to control one specific zone. For multi-zone control, a separate CP100 is used per zone, or the BluOS Controller app on iOS/Android/Mac/Windows can manage all zones from a single interface.

What electrical back-boxes does the CP100 support?

The CP100 is designed to fit a wide range of international standard single-gang electrical back-boxes. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net to confirm compatibility with your specific back-box standard.

What is the warranty on the CP100?

Bluesound Professional products are backed by a manufacturer warranty. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for current warranty terms.
