The Bose® ControlSpace™ ESP-88
The Power To Connect and Control at Your Fingertips
Whether it be a dance night, school play or a graduation ceremony, Bose® provides the solution to design an audio system that meets the multiple needs, and delivers high-quality performance for any given space. Presenting the ControlSpace™ ESP-88 system that meets the needs of system users in public spaces. It delivers a powerful, flexible solution for any installation and offers controls that customers can easily access and operate.
The main component of the ControlSpace™ system is the DSP chassis, called the ESP-88 processor, which includes 16 audio channels (eight outputs, eight inputs) and 16 channels of audio expansion in any combination of inputs and outputs. An optional DSP expansion card could also be added that will significantly increase the signal processing power.
Operating the ControlSpace™ ESP-88 is a simple operation. Bose offers two different panels– the ControlSpace™ CC-64 control centre and CC-16 zone controller. The two wall-mounted panels use large, easy-to-read LCD screens, simple buttons or knobs, and styling to fit most decors. The CC-64 control centre operates ControlSpace™ ESP-88 systems of varying complexity by switching audio sources, selecting scenes and changing complex system configurations. The CC-16 zone controller is designed for a single audio zone. This provides a convenient, cost effective wall panel for users of banquet rooms, meeting rooms or other locations where simple and powerful control is needed.
The ControlSpace™ designer software makes it simple to configure, program and operate the ControlSpace™ ESP-88 systems. Installers can program, verify and document the systems designs. With the Smart Simulation operation, sound contractors can easily demonstrate and work with customers to determine the controls before installation begins.
