Bose CONTROLSPACE ESP-1600 PROCESSOR EU DANTE I/O
The Bose® ControlSpace® ESP-1600 engineered sound
processor is an open-architecture DSP with 16 analog
inputs, an 8-channel ESPLink output and a rear-panel digital
expansion slot offering IP-based network audio and control
card options. This model meets today’s strict requirements
for high-quality signal processing and control in a cost
effective package. The ESP-1600 is designed for a wide
variety of applications ranging from small self-contained
projects to larger networked applications.
- Description
Description
The ESP-1600 accommodates a total of 56 audio channels
through analog audio connections (16 input), ESPLink (8
output), and when an optional Dante™ audio network card
is used, an additional 32 channels (16 input, 16 output)
are available for signal processing, routing and switching.
Alternatively, a Network Control card is available for clean
rear-panel control network connections. For standalone
applications or convenient service access, a front panel
Ethernet connector allows for local configuration and
monitoring. Onboard connectivity includes Serial over
Ethernet, RS-232, 5 control inputs and 5 control outputs.
Any of the elegant Bose wall-mounted user interfaces—
Including the programmable CC-64 and CC-16 controllers,
GPIO room controllers and ControlSpace Remote app for
iOS/Android devices — can be used to control all Bose
networkable devices.
Open architecture configuration and control is enabled
using Bose ControlSpace Designer™ software where an
ever-expanding list of algorithms and improvements offers
a high level of functionality for audio installations. Bose
single-rack-space ESPs are designed for a wide variety of
applications ranging from small self-contained projects to
larger networked applications.
Key Features
• High-quality analog circuitry offers both mic and line-level
inputs 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
• Expansion card slot supports the use of accessory
networking cards, allowing digital audio to be sent and/or
received from other compatible products
• Optional Dante™ network cards allow ESP processors to
closely integrate with other product supporting Audinate®’s
Dante audio networking solution
• Bose® ControlSpace® Designer™ software enables a
large set of signal processing modules, such as automatic
mic mixing, multiband graphic and parametric EQs, Bose
loudspeaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers,
AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors and
delays
• Front panel RJ-45 Ethernet connection enables localized
configuration and monitoring, while enabling network
passthrough when using a rear-panel network option card
• Built-in Bose ESPLink output sends up to 8 channels
of uncompressed digital audio to ESPLink-equipped Bose
PowerMatch® amplifiers
• A variety of control options – ControlSpace ESP products
are compatible with the programmable Bose CC-64 and
CC-16 controllers, GPIO control using the simplified Bose
room controllers, and ControlSpace Remote, and iOS/
Android™ control application for phones and tablets
• Integration with industry-standard control systems using
a comprehensive serial protocol through onboard RS-232 and
Ethernet ports
Applications
• Auditoriums
• Houses of worship
• Resorts and hospitality venues
• Stage-box applications
• Schools and universities
