Engineered Sound Systems

Architects and Engineers
Specifications
The engineered sound processor shall be a
DSP-based signal processor. The processor
shall include eight general-purpose control outputs
and eight general-purpose inputs with expansion
capabilities for up to a total of 16 general-purpose
control outputs and 16 general-purpose inputs.
Analog audio inputs and outputs shall be
electronically balanced. The maximum input
and output levels shall be +24dBu. Analog inputs
shall be software switchable between microphone
and line-level inputs. Phantom power of +15V
shall be provided. A/D and D/A sections shall be
24-bit, 64x over-sampled.
The processor shall include eight analog audio
inputs and eight analog audio outputs but be
expandable to a total of 64 audio channels in one
2U frame. The digital signal processing shall be
performed by a Texas Instruments TMS320C6713
DSP chip running at 200MHz and utilizing 128Mbit
of RAM for delay. All processing shall be done with
32-bit resolution, and audio sampling shall be at
48kHz.
The processor shall include Ethernet, RS-232
and RS-485 ports. Certifications shall include
cUL, C-Tick and IEC60065, and have a CB report
including all country deviations. Processor and
peripherals shall meet EN55103-1 and EN55103-2
EMC requirements.
System shall include PC-based design and control
and configuration software, and communicate with
the DSP and other parts of the system via Ethernet.
The processor and design software shall include
the following minimum set of processing modules:
Bose® speaker EQs, Bose crossovers, crossovers,
graphic and parametric EQs, routers, delays, matrix
mixers, signal generators, meters, compressor/
limiters, duckers, automatic gain controls, gate,
room combiner and source selectors.
The processor shall be capable of using a variety of
audio cards including a 4x4 mic/line input/output
card, a four-channel Enhanced Dynamic Range
output card, a four-channel Enhanced Dynamic
Range input card and AES-3 eight-channel input
and output cards. Unit also shall support addition of a GPIO expansion card to increase the system’s generalpurpose inputs and outputs to 16 each. Unit also shall support a DSP expansion card, which includes three Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 DSPs running at 200MHz and three 128Mbit RAMs for delay.
The processor shall support up to 15 RS-485-based
zone controllers and eight Ethernet-based control
centers.
The Engineered Sound Processor shall be a Bose ControlSpaceTM ESP-88 Engineered Sound
Processor.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance
The ControlSpace ESP-88 meets cUL (UL 6500
2nd edition), C-Tick, PSE and IEC60065, and has
a CB report including all country deviations. It meets
FCC Class B, Canadian ICES-003 Class B and
EN55103-1 and EN55103-2 EMC requirements.
Warranty
Five years.
