System examples using CobraNet® networking with Bose® ControlSpace® and PowerMatch™ products.
CobraNet network audio expansion cards are available for both the ESP-00/88 engineered sound processors and the PowerMatch™ PM8500/N configurable professional power amplifiers.

The ESP CobraNet I/O expansion card is supported in ControlSpace Designer software version 2.3b1 or later and the PowerMatch CobraNet card is supported in version 3.1 or later.
