Frequently Asked Questions
Can I assign Beam gains to controls such as CC-64 or ControlSpace Remote?
You cannot assign beam gains in the main window of MSA12X device view. In order to achieve the same
functionality, you need a supported ControlSpace processor. Insert a gain block in the signal chain in the ESP
(with Dante® Card) or EX-1280C and assign that gain block to the controls.
Can the ControlSpace ESP-00 processor be used to support MSA12X?
You can use ESP-00 and MSA12X in the same system. However, ESP-00 does not support association with
MSA12X. i.e. you cannot use Parameter Set via ESP-00 for invoking Beam Preset of a MSA12X array.
Can I use the beam shaping functionality from CSD?
Yes, with a specific beam type. In CSD, you can use ‘Set beam from CSD’, which enables you to setup basic
steering/spreading on site without needing Modeler.
Can I use rear arrays? When do I need rear arrays?
You can use rear arrays just like when you design your system with line arrays such as MA12 or MA12EX. This
will depend on the room shape and beam pattern that you design. It is recommended to use the Modeler SPL
map and evaluate the acoustic performance based on the prediction.
Can I mix & match MSA12X with other Bose modular columnar arrays?
Yes. MSA12X is a member of the Bose modular line array family, which includes MA12 and MA12EX. For
example, if you do not need to digitally steer the beam for rear arrays, you can use other passive modular line
arrays with an amplifier (e.g. MA12 with a PowerMatch).
