Description
The Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240AD sound processor, featuring an open-architecture digital signal processor (DSP), is crafted for diverse audio applications ranging from compact standalone projects to expansive networked systems. It includes integrated Dante™ audio networking, 12×4 analog audio I/O, a Bose AmpLink output, and an RJ-45 Ethernet port on the front panel for convenient configuration and monitoring. Designed for optimal performance, this processor provides advanced digital signal processing capabilities with 48 kHz/24-bit audio conversion, low latency, and ultra-low noise operation.
Connectivity options include front and rear-panel Ethernet ports, RS-232 serial connections, five control inputs, five control outputs, and an 8-channel Bose AmpLink port to transmit digital audio to Bose amplifiers. The ESP-1240AD is compatible with industry-standard control systems like Crestron and AMX and can be easily integrated with a range of Bose Professional control solutions, including ControlCenter zone controllers and mobile-ready ControlSpace Remote.
Bose ControlSpace Designer software allows configuration and control of the ESP-1240AD, featuring a broad array of signal processing modules such as automatic mic mixers, multiband graphic and parametric EQs, Bose loudspeaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors, and delays. The software facilitates the visual programming of end-user controls and automation events, ensuring straightforward and predictable on-site operation. This software enables real-time configuration, monitoring, and tuning of entire audio systems with multiple components, providing custom-designed audio and control solutions that enhance design efficiency and offer remarkable flexibility to accommodate client requirements.
