Bose ControlCenter CC-3 Wall-Mounted Zone Controller for Source Selection and Volume Control

The Bose ControlCenter CC-3 is a wall-mounted zone controller designed for seamless source selection and volume control in commercial audio systems. It provides intuitive control over up to four audio sources (A, B, C, D) and is compatible with Bose ControlSpace ESP processors, FreeSpace IZA/IZA integrated zone amplifiers, and FreeSpace DXA 2120 digital mixer amplifiers. The CC-3 is powered directly by the host device and connects via standard CAT 5 (or higher) UTP cable using an RJ-45 interface, supporting cable runs up to 600 m (2000 ft) with ControlSpace processors and 152 m (500 ft) with FreeSpace systems.

Advantages

Simplifies audio zone management with a clean, wall-mounted design. The rotary encoder provides precise volume adjustment, while dedicated push buttons allow quick source switching. LED indicators clearly show the active source, enhancing user experience in commercial environments like restaurants, retail stores, and conference rooms.
