8 x 8 Analog, 8 Output AmpLink Channels, Digital Audio Processor

ControlSpace ESP 880A

Overview

As an open-architecture DSP, the Bose Professional ControlSpace ESP-880A Engineered Sound Processor is ideal for a wide range of applications, from small, self-contained projects to large, network-based systems. The processor is equipped with 8x8 analog audio in / out, a Bose AmpLink digital output, and advanced digital signal processing with a 48kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution. The ControlSpace ESP-1240A delivers accurate low-latency audio with excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

The processor has an Ethernet port on the rear panel for configuration and control, an RS-232 port, five contact inputs, five contact outputs, and a Bose AmpLink eight-channel digital output for transferring digital audio to Bose amplifiers. The ESP-880A also supports operation via industry-standard control systems such as Crestron and AMX, as well as compatible Bose Professional operating components such as ControlCenter Digital Zone Controllers and ControlSpace Remote for mobile devices.

When setting up and controlling the ESP-880A using the Bose ControlSpace Designer software, numerous signal processing modules provide many other features for common installed audio applications. Modules include an automatic mixer, feedback suppressors, room combiners, multiband graphics and parametric EQs, Bose speaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors, and delays. The programming of operating components and automated events facilitates operation and enables customer-oriented operation on site. Using the ControlSpace Designer software, an entire multi-component audio system can be set up, monitored, and tuned live.

Features

• The high-quality analog technology with mic and line level inputs / outputs provides a high signal-to-noise ratio and a dynamic range of 115 dB.

• Advanced digital signal processing supports audio at a sampling rate of 48 kHz and 24-bit resolution, using an open-architecture floating-point DSP and providing precise sound at low latencies.

• The built-in AmpLink output allows standard Cat 5 cables to transmit up to eight uncompressed and low-latency digitally to compatible Bose amplifiers.

• The Bose® ControlSpace® Designer software includes a variety of signal processing modules such as an automatic mixer, feedback suppressors, room combiners, multiband graphics and parametric EQs, Bose speaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors and delays ,

• There are a variety of controls available: The ControlSpace ESP models are compatible with the programmable Bose controllers CC-64 and CC-16, the ControlCenter Zone controllers and ControlSpace remote clients.

• The processors support industry-standard control systems using a comprehensive serial protocol via integrated RS-232 and Ethernet ports. In addition, drivers for AMX and Crestron-based systems are available.
