Bose Professional ControlSpace ESP-1240A Sound Processor (Discontinued)
Usually arrives in 5-9 business days.
The Bose® ControlSpace® ESP-1240 engineered sound processor is an open-architecture DSP with 12x4 fixed analog audio, built-in 8-channel ESPLink output and a rearpanel 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-1240 is designed for a wide variety of applications ranging from small self-contained projects to larger networked applications.
The ESP-1240 accommodates a total of 56 audio channels through analog audio connections (12 input, 4 output), ESPLink (8 output), and when an optional Dante(tm) 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 and three simplified zone volume interfaces—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.
