In Episode 2 of Surroundscapes, Bluesound Professional’s Ross Eberlin and Reza Mohammed introduce a new addition to the Bluesound Professional ecosystem: the CP200 Configurable UI Wall Mount Control Panel.
Positioned between the fixed-layout CP100 and the full app-based CP300, the CP200 offers integrators a sleek, PoE-powered control panel with a fully customizable touchscreen interface. Designed specifically for commercial applications, it enables precise, zone-specific audio control without the overhead of third-party systems.
Throughout the episode, Ross and Reza walk through practical examples of how the CP200 can adapt to a variety of spaces—from cafés and spas to quick-service restaurants and multi-zone venues. With BluOS control APIs and the included configuration software, integrators can tailor layouts with branded visuals, custom button functionality, password protection, and even macros that group or ungroup players with a single tap. One application even ties into fire alarm panels to trigger muting and emergency screen alerts.
At InfoComm 2025, the Bluesound Professional team used the CP200 to power a hands-on speaker demo, proving its ability to control not just audio playback but also video content via external API triggers. The CP200’s versatility effectively bridges the gap between fixed-purpose panels and full control systems—making it an ideal solution for commercial AV professionals looking for flexibility, scalability, and ease of deployment.
As Ross notes in the episode, “the CP200 is the chameleon of wall mount controllers. It’s a blank canvas for integrators to design exactly what they need.”
