Bose Professional Introduces
the ControlSpace® EX Audio
Conferencing System
New system includes a Dante™-based audio conferencing processor and three under-table endpoints.
Bose Professional introduces the new ControlSpace®
EX audio conferencing system which includes the new
ControlSpace EX-1280C conferencing signal processor and
three new Dante™-based ControlSpace under-table endpoints
(EX-4ML, EX-8ML and EX-UH). Designed with input from
leading integ rators, the system features connectivity for
various types of audio conferencing, including USB, VoIP,
PSTN, analog, and phone headset audio.
“We focused on creating one audio conferencing DSP that
includes everything an integrator might need – Dante, USB,
VoIP, PSTN and analog audio – all in a single 1RU box. We
also recognized the growing need to reduce wiring, locate
equipment remotely, and address retrofit applications. Bose
under-table endpoints are microphone-agnostic and use PoE
and Dante to provide a ‘one cable from the table’ microphone
and BYOD ATC solution,” said Arun Kumar, Divisional
Manager, Bose Professional- SAARC.
The ControlSpace EX-1280C processor features:
Advanced AEC: 12 routable acoustic echo cancellers (AEC)
with adaptable noise cancellation, non-linear processing and
comfort noise to enhance the clarity and intelligibility of the
meeting; multiple AEC references support multiple rooms and
zones.
Dante audio networking: 64 x 64 Dante audio networking
for digital audio connectivity with any Dante-based product,
including newer conferencing microphones.
All-in-one connectivity: 12 mic/line analog inputs, eight
analog outputs, eight Bose® AmpLink digital outputs, USB
(stereo in/out), VoIP (2 lines) and PSTN.
Open-architecture signal processing: provides the
flexibility needed for any conferencing application.
SIP 2.0 compliant VoIP: Includes a web-configurable
interface, two independent lines with multiple call
appearances, and support for popular codecs including G.722
HD, G.726, & G.711.
Front-Panel Display: Large 256 x 64 element OLED display
and rotary knob for metering, viewing/changing IP settings
and more.
All three EX Dante under-table endpoints feature PoE, daisy-
chainable power and networking, multiple mounting options
and a slim, high-density form factor that makes them suitable
for mounting under conference tables. The two under-table
microphone interfaces, the EX-4ML and EX-8ML (4 and 8
channels respectively), feature 48V phantom power as well
as +12V LED power and three logic IO per channel (1 in, 2
out), to interface with most types of analog conferencing
microphones. The EX-UH Dante under-table endpoint extends
conferencing versatility for BYOD applications such as
connecting mobile phones, laptops and telephone headsets
using the built-in 3.5 mm TRRS analog jack, stereo-audio USB,
and RJ-9 connector.
All components are configured and controlled with Bose
ControlSpace Designer 5.0 software. ControlSpace Remote
2.1 has been upgraded to support the new EX and includes a
dialer for creating a complete tablet-based user interface for
conference rooms. Drivers for popular control systems are
also available.
In addition, Bose Professional’s wide portfolio of amplifiers
and loudspeakers can be seamlessly integrated using
convenient presets and audio connections.
