Bose Professional CSP-1248 Commercial Sound Processor

Offering right-sized I/O and simplified configuration for small-to-medium scale projects, the CSP-1248 from Bose Professional is intended for quick-turn installations. The DSP (Digital Sound Processor) series is part of Bose Professional's commercial sound lineup that are a comprehensive platform that includes loudspeakers, controls, and software that help installers deliver premium sound systems efficiently. An onboard CSP configuration utility and intuitive browser-based UI provide a quick-setup workflow. Common tasks are presented in a logical manner, so you can configure the system faster, reducing installation time while increasing setup accuracy. Once installed, Bose-proprietary algorithms offer predictable performance while optional interfaces — such as ControlCenter digital zone controllers and the ControlSpace Remote app — make operation easy for end users.

The CSP-1248 serves as standalone DSP in commercial applications such as retail stores and restaurants, or any public place where modest processing, high-quality sound and facilitated installation is desired. Featuring a quick-setup workflow, using an integrated web server with browser-based configuration utility, for making common tasks intuitive and logical – ultimately reducing installation time. Integrated Bose Professional-proprietary algorithms offer predicable control options, while compatible interfaces like ControlCenter digital controllers and ControlSpace Remote offer reliable, convenient operation for end users.
