The ControlSpace EX-12AEC is a dedicated acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) DSP processor designed to enhance conferencing systems by providing high-quality microphone input processing. With 12 mic/line inputs (each with AEC), it delivers clean, intelligible speech for teleconferencing and videoconferencing applications.
The EX-12AEC is typically used alongside other Bose ControlSpace EX processors (such as the EX-440C or EX-1280C) in medium-to-large conferencing systems where additional AEC channels are required. It connects seamlessly via Dante™ networking, providing scalability and flexible system design.
