ControlSpace Designer software is the cornerstone of the ControlSpace ecosystem, combining the intuitive workflows, customization, and device management of Bose Professional networked audio systems. Create, test, and perfect designs with ease and efficiency—from audio routing to EQs and limiters, from amplifier configuration to controller design, from cloud-based monitoring to firmware updates. And built-in network configuration tools enable setup of ControlSpace devices to operate in the larger system network.
Create. Building a system is as easy as dragging and dropping device blocks into the project workspace. Click and drag wires between devices, and customize wire colors, labels, and paths to keep the schematic organized. Scale the system up or down by simply adding or removing devices.
Configure. The same intuitive workflow applies to device configuration—use signal processing blocks to configure DSP functions. The open architecture of our ControlSpace ESP and EX processors unlocks even more possibilities for complex projects. Save time with the comprehensive library of Bose Professional loudspeaker EQ presets—get great sound from the first system test—and tailor the sound further if needed to suit the unique characteristics of the space.
Control. Customize the system’s controls to adjust multiple processor settings at once or recall specific settings. Map parameters to Bose Professional ControlCenter controllers, and then use the Smart Simulation feature to test your programming offline and save commissioning time. Expand your options with programmable general-purpose inputs and outputs (GPIO), logic functions, or serial control—or use timers to automate.
Amplify. Power amplifiers are just as easy to configure, route, and manage in ControlSpace Designer. Monitor alarms and fault statuses, set or measure impedances, and apply parametric EQ presets—load pre-optimized Bose Professional EQs or create and save your own.
Unify. With our Dante®-compatible ControlSpace signal processors, you can integrate Bose Professional DSPs into Dante systems without additional network hardware, from small systems to larger ones with multiple endpoints and redundant network design. Manage Dante devices in familiar applications by Audinate® (Dante Controller, Dante Domain Manager, Dante Updater), and then associate them with devices in ControlSpace Designer where you can view real-time device information.
Set up signal processing, test and tune while commissioning, or monitor performance all from one software platform. ControlSpace Designer delivers a powerful, unified system design experience to you—so you can deliver great audio experiences to your customers.

New cloud-based features:
Accelerate your design workflow. Shift your system design speed into overdrive with ControlSpace Accelerator, a cloud-based software tool that streamlines the audio system design process to allow faster, more consistent setup of common project types in ControlSpace Designer. The tool creates workflow efficiency that can deliver an average 5x speed increase in the initial setup of ControlSpace Designer projects.
Cloud-based device management from anywhere. ControlSpace Cloud enables remote system monitoring and troubleshooting of ControlSpace devices from anywhere with cloud connectivity. It allows you to instantly respond to and even anticipate system issues before they happen, reducing unnecessary site visits. And it’s fully scalable, so you can monitor just one room or up to multiple  organizations globally—all from a single dashboard.
If you are using CSD 5.14.1, and experience issues installing Dante firmware on EX-Processors, EX-8ML or PowerMatch Dante cards with the BK3 Dante board, we advise using Audinate’s Firmware Update Manager v3.10.9.6
If you are using CSD 5.12 to CSD 5.13.1 with PowerShareX Amplifiers and an EX or ESP processor, using low-impedance loudspeakers, please download 5.13.2 or later as this is a required update.
