ControlSpace® ESP-88 systems offer a new approach to meet the needs of sound contractors and system users. These systems deliver powerful, flexible, sophisticated signal processing with elegant user controls that promote user confidence in daily system operation.
Engineered Sound Processor
The Bose® ControlSpace ESP-88 engineered sound processor is a flexible, expandable and high quality audio signal processor for engineered sound applications such as houses of worship, theaters, auditoriums and sports venues. The base model (ESP-88) includes eight inputs (microphone or line-level selectable) and eight line-level outputs. Four available audio slots allow the addition of up to 16 more analog audio channels—inputs, outputs or a combination—or up to 32 more digital audio channels (AES3) as inputs, outputs or a combination. For large applications, multiple ESP-88s can be used per system. Multiple choices of user controllers are available to provide end users with simple, easy-to-use control of their ControlSpace system.
Recent Enhancements
New software additions include:
Password protection: Prevents unauthorized access to the system
IP addressability: Enables the ControlSpace system to use and share IT networks with other products
Expanded serial protocol: Allows the ESP-88 to be more easily integrated in installations requiring audio, video, lighting and other controls using Crestron, AMX or other third party devices
CC-16 enhancements include:
Ability to preview the Selector Input or Parameter Set name prior to its selection
Displays "Mute" when muted from the ControlSpace Designer™ application or a Parameter Set
Minimum volume default is now -60 dB, and displays mute when minimum volume is reached
When a Parameter Set recall changes the mapping of the CC-16 volume, the current gain of the device is now used
