Biamp

Feb. 1, 2024 - Biamp is excited to share the news about our new solutions and major product enhancements that further elevate extraordinary audiovisual experiences—just announced at Integrated Systems Europe 2024.

Voltera D Series

We introduced the Voltera D series of networked amplified loudspeaker controllers (ALCs), which offer powerful onboard digital signal processors, sophisticated tools for tuning rooms, and a host of other one-of-a-kind features.

Voltera D ALCs are available in 1200-watt or 2400-watt configurations across four or eight channels. The Voltera D line is easy to use and configurable by either Tesira or the new Biamp VenueTune software, depending on user preference and audio network protocols.

Voltera D is the only line of ALCs in the market to provide support of both AVB and Dante and accurate raised cosine EQ below 160 Hz, which results in more precise elimination of room modes and optimization of the low-frequency performance of a system. It is also the only 8 x 150-watt ALC on the market, with competitors starting at 250 to 500 watts per channel, which may be expensive overkill for many applications.

The new VenueTune software offers in-depth control through an intuitive graphical interface, which uses simple 2D floorplans and a staged workflow to guide system designers and installers. The software also provides extensive performance and usage logging over time, enabling IT personnel, AV pros, and venue managers the ability to optimize performance after installation.

"The Voltera D series is designed to provide extraordinary audio experiences for the most demanding applications where the audio must stay on and a protective mute isn't acceptable," said Joe Andrulis, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Biamp. "Through our new VenueTune software, installers and designers enjoy a simplified design process and deployment of Voltera D ALCs, including the ability to select what amplifiers to drive the speakers with and the ability to predict the current draw and heat dissipation. They also get powerful system tuning and comprehensive system performance monitoring."

Zoom Certifications

Our Parlé conferencing bars are now certified for Zoom. This certification delivers peace of mind and security to integrators, installers, information technology personnel, and end users, assuring them that the conferencing bars are validated to work seamlessly within the rigorous standards of the Zoom unified communication (UC) platform.

"Enabling seamless collaboration between offices, remote workers, and those traveling is now the standard for creating an effective, productive work environment. To get there, organizations are increasingly relying on UC platforms such as Zoom, but they also require effective conferencing hardware," said Andrulis. "The Zoom certification of our Parlé conferencing bars expands our portfolio of video conferencing solutions designed for small and medium Zoom Rooms, enabling extraordinary collaboration for participants in the room or around the globe."

Plus, the Parlé VBC 2500a conferencing bar and Vidi 250 conferencing camera are now Certified for Zoom Intelligent Director. Intelligent Director is powered by AI and utilizes multiple cameras to give each participant within a meeting room their own space in a Zoom Meeting, with the best image and angle, so remote participants can see each person clearly, even in large conference rooms.

Our Parlé conferencing bars are now also compatible with Mersive, Barco, ScreenBeam, Airtame, and Crestron wireless collaboration systems.
