Introduction

TheBose® ControlSpaceTM ESP-88engineered 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.
