ESP-88 Chassis Overview:
The Bose
®
ControlSpace
®
ESP-88C and ESP-00 engineered sound processors are flexible,
expandable and high quality audio signal processors for engineered sound applications such as
churches, theaters, auditoriums, and sports venues.
The ESP-88C 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 combination.
For large applications, multiple chassis can be used per system. Multiple choices of user con-
trollers 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
chassis and user controllers. The software runs on a PC and communicates to the chassis 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 total in a 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 input channels feature tricolor level LEDs
• Design, control and configuration via PC based software and Ethernet connection.
• Large set of signal processing modules including: Bose speaker EQs, Bose crossovers,
graphic and parametric EQs, routers, delays, matrix mixers, signal generators,
meters, compressors/Limiters, duckers, automatic gain controls, gate and source selectors.
Modularity and Expansion
Flexible Architecture
The ESP-88C and ESP-00 employ a flexible, modular architecture. This flexible architecture
provides two levels of DSP performance – up to 32 general-purpose I/O and up to 64 digital
audio channels – or up to 32 analog audio channels.
The base model ESP-88C, includes a DSP card, two 4x4 Mic/Line cards and one GPIO card. In
this configuration, four audio and one GPIO slot are available for expansion. The ESP-00 omits
the two 4x4 Mic/Line cards.
Four types of optional cards are available: DSP expansion, GPIO, Audio and Surround Sound.
DSP expansion card, PC037535 - Daughter card for main DSP card. Increases performance by
300%. One card can be added to an ESP-88.
GPIO card, PC 041768
Fits in one of the two GPIO slots. Eight control inputs and eight control outputs. One GPIO card
can be added to an ESP-88.
