The ESP-1600 is designed for a wide variety of applications ranging from small self-contained projects to larger networked applications.

The ESP-1600 accommodates a total of 56 audio channels through analog audio connections (16 input), ESPLink (8 output) and when an optional Dante™ audio network card is used, an additional 32 channels (16 input, 16 output) are available for signal processing, routing and switching. Alternatively, a Network Control card is available for clean rear-panel control network connections. For standalone applications or convenient service access, a front panel Ethernet connector allows for local configuration and monitoring. Onboard connectivity includes Serial over Ethernet, RS-232, 5 control inputs and 5 control outputs.
