Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A engineered sound processor

The Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A is a engineered sound processor with a features of an open-architecture DSP. This Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A is designed for a wide variety of applications - from small, self-contained projects to large, networked systems. The Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A has a features of 12X4 analog audio I/O, a Bose AmpLink Output and advanced digital signal processing with 48 kHz/24-bit audio conversion. Additionally, the Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A is engineered for a precise performance and it also has a features of low-latency and ultra-low noise operation.

Also, the Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A has an Onboard Connectivity that includes a rear-panel Ethernet for configuration and control, RS-232 serial, five control inputs, five control outputs, and an 8-channel Bose AmpLink port for sending digital audio to Bose amplifiers. The Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A also can supports integration with industry-standard control system, such as Creston and AMX and can be used with any of the compatible Bose Professional end user control options such as the ControlCenter zone controllers and mobile-ready ControlSpace Remote.

Configure and control the Bose ControlSpace ESP-1240A using Bose ControlSpace Designer software, where a large set 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 offer an elevated level of functionality for general installed audio applications. Program end-user controls and automation events visually with less complication and more predicable operation on-site. With ControlSpace Designer software, an entire audio system with multiple components can be configured, monitored, and tuned live for creating custom-designed audio and control solutions that save design time and offers outstanding flexibility to better meet client needs.
