Introduction

The Bose

ControlSpace

™

ESP-88 engineered

sound processor is a flexible, expandable and high-

quality audio signal processor for engineered sound

applications such as churches, theaters, auditori-

ums, and sports venues. The base model (ESP-88)

includes eight inputs (microphone or line-level

selectable) and eight line level outputs. Four

available audio slots allow the addition of up to 16

more analog audio channels – inputs, outputs or a

combination – or up to 32 more digital audio

channels (AES3) as inputs, outputs or a combina-

tion.

For large applications, multiple ESP-88s can be

used per system. Multiple choices of user control-

lers are available to provide end-users with simple,

easy-to-use control of their ControlSpace system.

The Bose ControlSpace

™

Designer software is used

to design systems and configure the

ESP-88 and user controllers. The software runs on

a PC and communicates to the ESP-88 over

Ethernet.

Features and functions:

• Expandable and flexible cardframe

architecture

• Eight mic/line analog audio input channels

• Eight line level analog audio output channels

• Four open audio expansion slots allow up to

32 analog audio channels in 2U chassis

• DSP expansion slot allows DSP processing

power and delay times to increase fourfold

• Eight general purpose control inputs and

eight general purpose control outputs (GPIO)

• GPIO expansion slot allows up to 16 control

inputs and 16 control outputs

• All audio input and output channels feature tri-

color level LEDs

• Design, control and configuration via PC-

based software and Ethernet connection.

• Large set of signal processing modules

including: Bose speaker EQs, Bose cross-

overs, graphic and parametric EQs, routers,

delays, matrix mixers, signal generators,

meters, compressors/Limiters, duckers,

automatic gain controls, gate and source

selectors.

Quick start

• Install the ControlSpace Designer software

included in the box (always check

www.pro.bose.com for software updates.)

• Use the supplied Ethernet crossover cable to

connect your PC’s Ethernet port to the ESP-88’s

LAN port.

• The PC’s Link LED should illuminate and the

Ethernet LED on the front of the ESP-88 should

be green.

•From ControlSpace Designer’s main screen

(Project View), drag an ESP-88 from the device

list onto the Project area.

• Double click on the ESP-88 to move to the ESP 1

tab.

• Drag signal processing blocks from the SP Tool

Kit onto the ESP screen. Wire up the blocks and

change settings.

•Press the "Go on-line" button at the top of the

screen. The Designer software should find the

ESP-88 and try to connect to it. Because your

new design is not yet in the ESP-88, Designer will

ask you if you want to download the new data or

keep the existing (if any) system running in the

ESP-88. Select YES to download the design you

just created to the ESP-88.

• Once connected, the background of the Project

View will change to light blue. You can adjust

controls and save and recall presets while

connected. You must disconnect in order to

change the signal path in the ESP-88.
