Installation and Operating Guide pro.Bose.com Introduction Thank you for choosing the Bose® ControlSpace® ESP-880/1240/4120 engineered sound processors. Bose ControlSpace ESP-880, ESP-1240, and ESP-4120 engineered sound processors are single-rack-space DSPs, available in analog I/O configurations of 8 x 8, 12 x 4, and 4 x 12. These cost-effective models meet today’s strict requirements for low latency audio processing with high-quality digital conversion and powerful DSP.
Installation and Operating Guide pro.Bose.com Available Accessories Accessory Cards ControlSpace® ESP-880/1240/4120 processors offer a rear panel digital expansion slot for adding network audio and control capabilities beyond what is available using the front panel RJ-45 connector. For systems requiring control network connections to be located on the rear panel (without streaming audio), the ControlSpace Network Control card is recommended for use. Figure 1.

Installation and Operating Guide pro.Bose.com Hardware Installation Use the following procedure when setting up a ControlSpace® ESP-880/1240/4120 engineered sound processor for the first time. 1. Download and install the latest version of ControlSpace® Designer™ software 2. Unbox the ESP processor 3. Install option card 4. Rack-mount the ESP processor 5. Make analog audio I/O connections 6. Make CC-16, RS-232, and ESPLink connections 7. Connect GPIO devices 8. Establish a network connection 9.
Installation and Operating Guide pro.Bose.com 5. Analog Audio Connections The ESP processor includes balanced dual-channel (6-terminal) Phoenix Contact® audio connectors. To help with ease of installation, the termination end of each connector includes printed terminal block descriptions. The following diagram shows recommended balanced/unbalanced wiring between the processor audio connectors and common audio plugs used to connect the ESP processor to external audio components. Figure 6.
Installation and Operating Guide pro.Bose.com 6. CC-16, RS-232, and ESPLink connections CC-16 Connector The CC-16 connector is an RS-485 network connection for use with Bose CC-16 zone controllers. Using the supplied Phoenix Contact® 3-pin labeled connector, up to 15 CC-16 zone controllers can be networked to control the ESP processor or any device on the Bose® ControlSpace® control network. An external power supply is required.
Installation and Operating Guide pro.Bose.com 7. Connect GPIO devices General Purpose Inputs/Outpus (GPIO) Five control inputs (GPI) and five controls outputs (GPO) are available and can be used to interface the ESP processor with external control hardware. General Purpose Inputs General-purpose control input ports are used to connect external hardware such as potentiometers (to control levels or gains) and switches (to invoke parameter sets).
pro.Bose.com Installation and Operating Guide 8. Network Connections ESP-880/1240/4120 processors feature two network connection methods: 1. A front-panel RJ-45 network port (See figure 9.) 2. Optional rear-panel network cards (See figure 10.) The front-panel connection is intended for localized configuration and monitoring. When used with a rear-panel network card, the frontpanel RJ-45 connector can serve as a convenient passthrough to the network connection on the rear panel.
Installation and Operating Guide pro.Bose.com Maintenance Operations Firmware / Software Upgrades ControlSpace® Designer™ software is updated on a periodic basis. Please check our website at pro.Bose.com for new software releases. Battery Replacement Single-rack ESP processors contain a replaceable lithium battery for maintaining the real time clock (RTC) capability of the system. These batteries last at least 10 years from time of production and usually do not require replacement.
