Bose Professional ControlSpace EX-8ML Microphone / GPIO Dante Endpoint

The Bose Professional ControlSpace EX-8ML is a networked microphone and GPIO Dante endpoint designed for scalable ControlSpace audio systems. It provides a centralized and efficient solution for connecting up to eight analog microphones or line-level sources directly to a Dante-enabled network.

Optimized for use with ControlSpace EX processors, including the EX-1280C, EX-12AEC, and EX-440C, the EX-8ML supports Cat 5/5e cabling and can be daisy-chained with other EX endpoints or installed remotely to reduce analog cable runs. Integrated GPIO enables external logic control and system automation without additional hardware.

All configuration, routing, gain control, phantom power, and GPIO logic are managed through ControlSpace Designer software. This simplifies deployment and maintenance while supporting advanced conferencing, courtroom, and installed sound applications.

Key Features

• 8 Analog Mic/Line Inputs: Balanced inputs with software-selectable gain and phantom power
• Dante Audio Networking: Low-latency digital audio transport over standard Ethernet
• Integrated GPIO: Configurable control inputs and outputs for system logic and automation
• Daisy-Chain Networking: Simplifies wiring using Cat 5 cabling between endpoints
• ControlSpace Integration: Fully configurable using ControlSpace Designer software
• Compact Mountable Enclosure: Integrated mounting tabs for flexible installation
