Bose Professional ControlSpace ESP-880A Open-Architecture DSP Device

The ControlSpace ESP-880A from Bose Professional is an open-architecture DSP engineered sound processor that's designed for a broad range of applications — from small, self-contained projects on up to large, networked systems. The unit includes 8x8 analog audio input/output (I/O), a Bose Professional AmpLink output, and advanced digital signal processing with 48 kHz/24-bit audio conversion. Engineered for precise performance, it also features low-latency as well as ultra-low noise operation.

Available using the ControlSpace Designer software, where a large set of signal processing modules, such as automatic mic mixers, Bose Professional loudspeaker libraries, multiband graphic and parametric EQs, predictive feedback suppressors, room combiners, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors, and delays provide an added functionality for general installed audio applications. You can visually program end-user controls and automation events with less complication and more predictable operation on-site. With ControlSpace Designer software, an entire audio system with multiple components can be configured, monitored, and tuned live—all enabling the creation of custom-designed audio and control solutions that save design time and offer remarkable flexibility to better meet client needs.

Bose ControlSpace ESP-880A Applications:

Auditoriums • Places of worship • Resorts and hospitality venues • Retail stores • Educational institutions

Bose ControlSpace ESP-880A Features:

• High-quality analog circuitry offers both mic and line-level I/O, operates with ultra-low noise and 115 dB dynamic range.
• Advanced digital signal processing supports audio at 48 kHz sample rate/24-bit, uses a floating-point open architecture DSP, and operates at low latencies for sound system precision.
• Integrated AmpLink connection uses standard CAT 5 cables to send up to 8 channels of low-latency, uncompressed digital audio to compatible Bose Professional amplifiers.
• Bose Professional ControlSpace Designer software enables a large set of signal processing modules, such as automatic mic mixing, multiband graphic and parametric EQs, Bose Professional loudspeaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors, and delays.
• A variety of control options — ControlSpace ESP products are compatible with the programmable CC-64 and CC-16 controllers, ControlCenter zone controllers, and ControlSpace Remote clients.
• Supports industry-standard control systems using a comprehensive serial protocol through onboard RS-232 and Ethernet ports, with available drivers for AMX and Crestron-based systems.
