ControlSpace Ecosystem Expands

Bose Professional announced the release of two important additions to the ControlSpace ecosystem: ControlSpace Accelerator, a software tool that automates and speeds up audio system design by up to five times, and ControlSpace Cloud, a new cloud-based monitoring service.

ControlSpace is Bose Professional’s hardware/software ecosystem that provides networked control, mixing and monitoring of Dante-enabled audio systems for commercial spaces. CS Accelerator and CS Cloud offer powerful new features for both the inception of projects—speeding up system design and making it more accurate—as well as maintaining systems in the field, providing monitoring and insights in real time, from one room to multiple organizations.

“Speed and efficiency are crucial in audio system design and deployment. Both Accelerator and Cloud are designed to save time, boost insight, and drastically reduce the time it takes to set up a networked system,” said Shawn Watts, director of product at Bose Professional. “Accelerator delivers a huge improvement in the time it takes to design systems during the design and programming process, allowing integrators to complete end-to-end DSP design with just a few clicks. And Cloud brings smarter management and greater insight to ControlSpace devices, allowing installers to instantly respond-to and even anticipate system issues before they happen, reducing unnecessary site visits and boosting reliability. These releases are about making people’s jobs easier, and we’re looking forward to continuing to develop the power and scope of the ControlSpace ecosystem.”

ControlSpace Accelerator is a software tool for creating new ControlSpace Designer projects, featuring a simple, intuitive interface for quicker, more efficient, and consistent configuration of ControlSpace* processors. ControlSpace Accelerator automates much of the signal path and processing design, speeding up the process by up to five times, reducing repetitiveness and increasing consistency.

ControlSpace Cloud brings smarter, scalable management, monitored performance, and greater insight and reliability to networks with ControlSpace* processors. ControlSpace Cloud lets installers anticipate issues and troubleshoot systems remotely by providing system monitoring, troubleshooting and instant notifications through email, Teams, Slack, or other popular platforms. ControlSpace Cloud is fully scalable and can be configured to monitor a single room or multiple organizations globally, all from a single dashboard.

“Bose Professional is releasing products that boost the value of investments, address the needs of installers, and solve real-word problems,” said John Maier, chief executive officer at Bose Professional. “We’ve been hard at work re-focusing our entire organization around our customers – transforming the company into a focused, responsive, more agile partner.  We’re proud to be expanding and empowering the ControlSpace ecosystem with the addition of Accelerator and Cloud, delivering the control and security that are at the foundation of our legacy of innovation.”

ControlSpace Accelerator and ControlSpace Cloud are currently being offered for free with a software and firmware update via ControlSpace Designer.
