Description
With an open-architecture, single-rack-unit design, the ControlSpace EX-1280 is a robust digital signal processor equipped for general-purpose audio processing applications. Twelve mic/line analog inputs, eight analog outputs, a Bose AmpLink output, and 64 x 64 Dante® connectivity allow for flexible configuration and high-quality sound system control. ControlSpace Designer software simplifies the setup process with drag-and-drop programming, making configuration quick and easy.
Features:
- Open-architecture, 1RU design built for general-purpose and PA applications
- USB connection facilitates easy integration with PC audio sources
- Dante audio networking supports 64 x 64 audio channels for connection to other Dante-enabled products, including native Dante-integrated microphones, amplifiers, mixers, and end points
- Bose AmpLink port provides 8 channels of uncompressed, low-latency digital audio to AmpLink-equipped Bose amplifiers
- Front-panel interface features a large OLED display and rotary encoder for setting network parameters and monitoring channel activity
- GPIO (5 in/5 out) and Serial for interfacing with external devices and control systems
- High-quality analog circuitry offers both mic and line-level I/O, operates with ultra-low noise and 118 dB dynamic range.
- Bose ControlSpace Designer software enables a large set of signal processing modules, such as automatic mic mixing, multiband graphic and parametric EQs, Bose loudspeaker libraries, signal generators, routers, mixers, AGCs, duckers, gates, compressors, source selectors, delays and logic
- A variety of control options — compatible with the programmable Bose CC-64 and CC-16 controllers, ControlCenter digital zone controllers, and ControlSpace Remote clients
- Supports industry-standard control systems using a comprehensive serial protocol through onboard RS-232 and Ethernet ports, with available drivers for AMX and Crestron-based systems
