New Bose Professional ControlSpace Remote 2.0 Offers Custom Features and Broader Device Support

	ControlSpace Remote enables integrators to offer remote control of networked systems to end-users with full, expanded customization options in version 2.0.

As part of its ongoing commitment to provide system integrators with the most comprehensive and intuitive tools, Bose Professional announces significant enhancements to their ControlSpace Remote software with new version 2.0. Available as a free download from pro.Bose.com, ControlSpace Remote allows integrators to distribute remote control of Bose Pro networked systems in any venue, for any user, across multiple devices. "ControlSpace Remote is a good control solution for integrators and offers an easy-to-use end-user experience," says Trevor Donarski, product manager for Bose Professional. "Audio systems can be complex but the end-user control should not be."

ControlSpace Remote (CSR) has been updated across all three of its main components: CSR Builder, CSR App, and the newly-released CSR Admin. Starting with CSR Builder, the templated-GUI approach has been expanded with full customization options. Users can now create custom layouts, insert images, or create navigation between GUI collections and panels. Donarski remarks, "The new CSR Builder really brings the best of both worlds -- templates for the get-it-done jobs, or custom elements where the GUI can be customized and branded for the client." Preset configurations make it easy to render the design to each end-user's device.

CSR App is available for mobile phones and tablets on both the Apple and Android platforms, and new to CSR App 2.0 is a revamped user interface and support for Apple OSX and Windows PC-based clients. Lastly, based on direct feedback from end users and integrators, ControlSpace Remote now offers an Admin tool for both Apple and Windows machines, where facility owners and managers can self-distribute the app to staff devices.

Together with the new version of ControlSpace Remote, Bose also updates their ControlSpace Designer software to version 4.4. This new version includes support for 32 x 32 Dante expansion cards (for use with Bose ControlSpace ESP-880/1240/4120/1600 engineered sound processors) and new signal processing blocks including a new gain-sharing automatic microphone mixer and a newly-enhanced parametric equalization block.
