Introduction
The Bose
®
ControlSpace
®
AMS-8 Audio Management System is a flexible, expandable and high quality audio
signal processor for audio distribution applications such as restaurants, shops, bars, offices, hotels, conference
facilities and sport venues. The main unit includes eight line inputs and eight line outputs. Four available audio
slots allow the addition of up to 8 more audio inputs (2 inputs per card).
For more zones, up to 10 AMS-8 system racks can be linked together per system. Each added system rack adds
8 mono zones to the system. Multiple choices of user interfaces are available to give end-users simple and easy-
to-use control of their ControlSpace
®
AMS-8 system.
The Bose
®
ControlSpace
®
AMS-8 Live Installer software is used to design systems and configure the AMS-8 and
user interfaces. The software runs on a PC and communicates with the AMS-8 system using serial via ethernet.
Quick start
• Connect the audio inputs and audio outputs to the ControlSpace
®
AMS-8 system. (In the case of 2 or more
systems racks: connect these racks by using audio link cards, audio link cables and high speed RS485 rack
links: see also chapter 3.5).
• Turn on the ControlSpace
®
AMS-8 system. Because of the default settings the system is now in operation. After
each start up of the ControlSpace
®
system, the default settings will be recalled. This means that the system will
play at the default source and default volume level as set in the installation menu.
