Description Specifications Downloads BOSE ControlSpace ESP-880A Engineered Sound Processor An open-architecture DSP, the Bose Professional ControlSpace ESP-880A engineered sound processor is designed for a wide variety of applications – from small, self-contained projects to large, networked systems. It features 8 × 8 analog audio I/O, a Bose Professional AmpLink output, and advanced digital signal processing with 48 kHz/24-bit audio conversion. Engineered for precise performance, the ControlSpace ESP-880A also features low-latency and ultra-low noise operation. Onboard connectivity includes rear-panel Ethernet for configuration and control, RS-232, 5 control inputs, five control outputs and an 8-channel AmpLink port for sending digital audio to Bose Professional amplifiers. The ESP-880A also supports integration with industry-standard control systems, such as Crestron and AMX, and can be used with any of the compatible Bose Professional end-user control options such as the ControlCenter digital zone controllers and mobile-ready ControlSpace Remote. Configure and control the ESP-880A using Bose Professional ControlSpace Designer software, where a large set of signal processing modules, such as automatic mic mixers, predictive feedback suppressors, room combiners, multiband graphic and parametric EQs, Bose Professional 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. FEATURESHigh-quality analog circuitry offers both mic and line-level I/O, operates with ultra-low noise and 115 dB dynamic range Advanced digital signal processing supports audio at 48 kHz sample rate/24-bit, uses a floating-point open architecture DSP and operates at low latencies for sound system precision Integrated AmpLink output connection uses standard Cat 5 cables to send up to 8 channels of low-latency, uncompressed digital audio to compatible Bose Professional amplifiers ControlSpace Designer software enables a large set of signal processing modules, such as automatic mic mixers, predictive feedback suppressors, room combiners, multiband graphic and parametric EQs, loudspeaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors and delays A variety of control options — ControlSpace ESP products are compatible with programmable Bose Professional CC-64 controller, ControlCenter zone controllers and ControlSpace Remote clients Supports industry-standard control systems using a comprehensive serial protocol through onboard RS-232 and Ethernet ports, with available drivers for AMX and Crestron-based systems ApplicationsDesigned for a wide range of applications, including: Auditoriums Places of worship Resorts and hospitality venues Retail stores Educational institutions Category Specification AMPLIFICATION Channel Separation (Crosstalk) < -105 dB at +4 dBu, 1 kHz input signal Dynamic Range > 115 dB, A-weighted, 20 Hz – 20 kHz, analog through Frequency Response 20 Hz – 20 kHz (+0.3 dB/-0.1 dB) THD+N 0.002% at +4 dBu (A-weighted, 20 Hz – 20 kHz) ACOUSTIC ECHO CANCELATION (AEC) AEC-Enabled No AUDIO INPUTS, ANALOG Channels 8 balanced, mic/line Connectors (4) 6-pin Euroblock, 3.81 mm Equivalent Input Noise < -119 dBu at 64 dB gain (150 Ω input, 22 Hz – 20 kHz) Gain Settings 0 dB, +14 dB, +24 dB, +32 dB, +44 dB, +54 dB, +64 dB, pre-gain Input Impedance 12 kΩ at 1 kHz, with or without phantom power Maximum Input Level +24 dBu Phantom Power 48 VDC, 10 mA, selectable per input AUDIO INPUTS/OUTPUTS, DIGITAL Channels 8 AmpLink out Connectors (1) RJ-45 AmpLink out Type AmpLink (output) AUDIO OUTPUTS, ANALOG Channels 8 balanced, line Connectors (4) 6-pin Euroblock, 3.81 mm Maximum Output Level +24 dBu Output Impedance 66 Ω COMPLIANCE EN 54-24 Certified No CONTROL INPUTS Control Inputs (5) analog/digital, 6-pin Euroblock, 3.81 mm / (1) serial RS-232, DB9M / (1) ControlCenter CC-16, 3-pin Euroblock, 3.81 mm Voltage Range, Analog 0 V – 3.3 V (5 V maximum) Voltage Range, Digital 0 V – 3.3 V (1.6 V threshold) CONTROL OUTPUTS Control Outputs (5) digital, 6-pin Euroblock, 3.81 mm Output Current 10 mA source, 100 mA sink (24 VDC maximum external supply voltage) Output Voltage High: 8 V (open circuit), 2.5 V at 10 mA / Low: < 1 V at 100 mA, push-pull ELECTRICAL Mains Connector IEC 60320-C14 inlet Mains Voltage 85–264 VAC, 50/60 Hz Power Consumption < 37 VA typical, over all mains voltages Power Dissipation 22 W (75 BTU/hr, 19 kcal/hr) GENERAL Computer Interface Connection RJ-45 (Ethernet, 100 Mbps) Software Applications ControlSpace Designer (Windows) INDICATORS AND CONTROLS LED Status Indicators (1) power/status LED, (1) input/output signal LED, (1) Ethernet LED, (1) serial control LED INTEGRATED DSP A/D and D/A Conversion 48 kHz / 24-bit Audio Latency 860 μs, analog input to analog output Delay 43 s DSP-Enabled Yes Maximum Calculation 3.6 GIPS / 2.7 GFLOPS Signal Processor/CPU 32-bit fixed/floating-point DSP + Arm 456 MHz processor Sample Rate / Bit Depth 48 kHz / 24-bit PHYSICAL Colors Black Cooling System Active, side-venting Mounting/Rigging Provisions Standard rack ears Net Weight 5.7 lb (2.6 kg) Operating Temperature 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F) Product Dimensions (H×W×D) 1.7 in × 19.0 in × 8.5 in (44 mm × 483 mm × 215 mm) Rack Spaces 1RU 812862-2110 : Datasheet
