Advanced processing and controls. Simple operation for your customers.
ControlSpace engineered sound systems represent a new approach to meeting the needs of sound contractors and system users. ControlSpace systems deliver a powerful, flexible, sophisticated DSP solution for nearly any installation large or small, simple or complex. Just as importantly, a ControlSpace system offers simple, elegant controls that customers can access and operate with confidence.
ESP-88 engineered sound processor.
Each ESP-88 provides 16 channels of audio expansion, in any combination of inputs and outputs. ControlSpace systems enable you to choose the number of inputs, outputs and audio quality (standard or enhanced). Four audio slots allow the addition of up to 16 more analog audio channels (inputs, outputs or combination) or up to 32 digital audio channels (AES3) as inputs, outputs or a combination. You can better match hardware to the job saving more money for your customers and providing more assurance for you.
Smart Simulation also allows you to work more interactively with your customers. You can easily demonstrate system operation and let your customers see the actual screen text and display of all controls before they are installed.

Scheduling.

A built-in, real-time clock allows automatic system changes for regularly scheduled events.

Flexible audio path.

Drag, drop and wire in any order or pattern to suit the installation.
Simple operation. Happier customers.
The ControlSpace CC-64 control center and CC-16 zone controller provide the easy operation that is key to customer satisfaction. These two controllers are the result of significant research in industrial design, ergonomics and usability. They incorporate large, easy-to-read LCDs, simple buttons or knobs, and styling that fits most any dcor. Even highly complex installations can be operated with the touch of a button, so nearly anyone can feel at ease about running the system.

On-site design storage.

The systems Flash memory stores the complete design, including user control programming, for easy retrieval even without the original design file.
More power at a lower cost.
The system includes the ControlSpace ESP-88 engineered sound processor. At the heart of the ESP-88 is a single powerful DSP processor. Its innovative design delivers greater flexibility, higher reliability and lower latency than many other processors in its class. Adding the optional DSP expansion card increases signal processing CC-16 zone controller and CC-64 control center. power 300%. Sound contractors now have a comprehensive DSP solution with significant flexibility for configuring system inputs, outputs, audio quality and controls all at a lower system cost than many other products.
Three-color front panel LED input/output meters.
Individual LEDs let you easily monitor audio signal level for each input and output. A labeling area next to each LED helps you clearly identify audio signals to aid in troubleshooting.
More ControlSpace system advantages. Easy-to-use design software.
ControlSpace Designer software makes it simple to configure and operate ControlSpace systems. Easily drag/drop, copy/paste, paste-to-all and undo inputs, outputs, EQ settings, speaker settings and connections. No need to figure out or remember various programming methods.

The ControlSpace ESP-88 and CC-64 use standard Ethernet for simplified installation and wiring. ControlSpace Designer software also uses standard Ethernet protocols, allowing for high-speed and industry-standard PC control and configuration.
Flexibility to meet many needs.
No two jobs are the same. ControlSpace systems let you configure the hardware to match the job. Many systems have asymmetric audio inputs and outputs often requiring another 8x8 box when only one or two more inputs or outputs are needed.

Smart Simulation engine.

Reduce on-site programming time. The design software lets you observe, verify, iterate and document the programming of all the ControlSpace ESP-88 sound processors, control centers, zone controllers and general-purpose inputs on screen whether connected to the system hardware or not.
The power to connect. The simplicity to control.
Multi-purpose auditorium or gymnasium
To help amortize the building cost, many gymnasia and cafeteria are designed for multiple functions. Audio systems for these facilities must also be designed for multiple functions while still being easy to use. In this system example, the gymnasium is host to basketball games, general assemblies and band practice. There are also dances and graduation ceremonies, Bingo night, movie night and school plays.
