Bose Professional ControlSpace ESP-880A

DSP processor

The Bose Professional ControlSpace ESP-880A open-architecture DSP audio processor is designed for a wide range of applications - from small stand-alone projects to large networked systems. It features 8 × 8 analog audio input/output, Bose Professional AmpLink output and advanced digital signal processing with 48 kHz/24-bit audio conversion. Designed for precise performance, the ControlSpace ESP-880A also features low latency and ultra-low noise.

Built-in connectivity includes rear-panel Ethernet for setup and control, RS-232, five control inputs, five control outputs and an 8-channel AmpLink port for sending digital audio to Bose Professional amplifiers. The ESP-880A also supports integration with standard control systems such as Crestron and AMX, and can be used with any compatible Bose Professional end-user control options, such as ControlCenter digital zone controllers and the mobile ControlSpace Remote.

Configure and control the ESP-880A system with Bose Professional ControlSpace Designer software, where a large set of signal processing modules such as automatic microphone mixers, predictive feedback suppressors, room combiners, multi-band graphic and parametric equalizers, Bose Professional speaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors and delays offer a higher level of functionality for general installed audio applications. Programming of end-user controls and automation events is done visually, with less complication and more predictable on-site operation. With ControlSpace Designer software, an entire audio system with multiple components can be configured, monitored and tuned live to create custom audio and control solutions that save design time and offer exceptional flexibility to better meet customer needs.

Key features:

• The high-quality analog circuit offers microphone- and line-level inputs/outputs, and operates with very low noise and a dynamic range of 115 dB.
• The advanced digital signal processing supports audio at 48 kHz/24-bit sampling rates, uses a floating-point DSP with an open architecture, and operates with low latency to ensure the precision of the sound system.
• The integrated AmpLink output connector uses standard Cat 5 cables to transmit up to 8 channels of uncompressed, low-latency digital audio to compatible Bose Professional amplifiers.
• ControlSpace Designer software enables a wide set of signal processing modules, such as automatic microphone mixers, predictive feedback attenuators, room combiners, multiband graphic and parametric equalizers, speaker 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 Bose Professional CC-64 programmable controller, ControlCenter zone controllers and ControlSpace Remote clients.
• Support for standard control systems using comprehensive serial protocol via built-in RS-232 and Ethernet ports, with available drivers for AMX and Crestron systems
