BOSE PROFESSIONAL CONTROLSPACE EX-1280C
Bose Professional ControlSpace EX-1280C
Processor for conferences
A flexible DSP platform for scalable systems, ControlSpace EX conferencing processors have the features to handle rooms of different sizes and the flexibility to meet future needs. With an open architecture, all-in-one design, the ControlSpace EX-1280C offers signal processing for conferencing applications with an integrated microphone. As the highest-performing processor in the ControlSpace EX family, the EX-1280C includes 12 analog microphone/line inputs, 8 analog outputs, 8 AmpLink digital outputs, 12 acoustic echo cancellers (AECs) and 64 × 64 Dante connectivity. ControlSpace Designer software simplifies the setup process with drag-and-drop programming, making setup quick and easy.
Key features:
- All-in-one design simultaneously supports VoIP, PSTN and USB soft codecs in a single 1RU model
- 12 acoustic echo cancellers (AECs) routed to both analog and Dante inputs; multiple references allow a single EX-1280C processor to handle multiple rooms or share AECs across multiple processors
- Adaptive noise cancellation on each AEC channel; non-linear processing and comfort noise to enhance clarity and intelligibility of encounters
- 2-line VoIP with an internal web interface that allows IT staff to configure VoIP parameters without access to project files or integrator involvement
- PSTN connection (RJ-11) for worldwide POTS/analog telephone systems
- USB connection facilitates integration with soft PC codecs
- Dante audio network supports 64 × 64 audio channels for connection to other Dante-enabled products, including native Dante-integrated microphones
- The AmpLink port provides 8 channels of uncompressed, low-latency digital audio to AmpLink-equipped Bose Professional amplifiers.
- The front panel interface features a large OLED display and a dial for setting network parameters and monitoring channel activity
- GPIO (5 inputs/5 outputs) for external connections, including microphone buttons or microphone LED control
Application:
- Performance facilities
- Stadiums and arenas
- Temples
- Hotels
- Multi-functional spaces
