I’m at a site where I’m programming a CSP428 on the Bose Configuration Utility software.

I basically have 4 Inputs:

TV Audio LED Audio Mic L (via mixer) Mic R (via mixer)

2 Outputs:

Output A Output B

2 Listening Zones:

Zone A Zone B

Now the idea is:

LED with mics go to Output A, Zone A. TV Audio goes to Output B, Zone B.

Although at some point, both Zone A & B will combine to have only LED with Mics. So that means Zone B switches depending on the choice of the client. Think of it like a divisible area I guess.

Now when I did the setup on the Software, everything seemed perfect. There was one saviour which was the “Allow Input Mixing” which allowed me to make multiple inputs active for one zone (which wasn’t the case before as I could only pick one active input per zone)

The same was done for Zone B, where I added input mixing and I could create two options, one just for the TV audio & another for the LED with mics. I was able to move this to the ControlSpace Builder and make a drop-down list and everything for it. All of this was done offline.

Although when I went to the site, connected to the DSP (directly via ethernet to my laptop) and imported my saved json config to the web interface, I couldn’t do the “Allow Input Mixing” anymore? Which makes it very tough for me now to do what I could achieve offline on the Config Utility App?

My main question is, is this a web interface limitation? Does the web UI simply not support the Allow Input Mixing feature? And can I connect to the unit directly using the Bose Configuration Utility software instead of the web interface to push my full config?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I have an interesting setup in which there’s an Restaurant with two floors, having speakers already set up on each floor with cabling done.

These were running independently, but now the client wants to have a DSP in the middle to control both floors. Although the top floor is used as a rental space sometimes where the client wants the people renting to connect to the room and play their music while they’re renting it out (events and stuff)

Now the thing is, there is no provision for cabling from the ground floor to the top floor, so I was trying to find the most efficient way I can set this system up more than anything.

I was first thinking to have like 2 DSPs on each floor and having them connect to the iPad (Was thinking Bose but 1) that’s an overkill & 2) I don’t know if we can connect two DSPs to 1 iPad for control)

So now I’m trying to think if Dante would be the right way to go? Although it’s such a simple system that I wasn’t even using Dante enabled amplifiers. Neither do I feel like their network would be that helpful with it.

The idea is to replace the speakers with the existing cables (considering it’s all good condition) replace the amplifiers also (all on clients request) and then have a DSP to have it all linked up for control.

I was going for the Bose CSP428 (cheap DSP for a simple application like this) & the Veritas on the upper floor so the client can connect via Bluetooth easily. Although having the DSP on the bottom floor will make it hard to connect to the amp on the top and vice versa.

So what would you say is your most efficient way to set this up? I was thinking QSC also but I need to see the products that can maybe support.
