Biamp and Shure have announced integrated compatibility between the former’s Tesira audio processors and the latter’s Microflex Advance array microphones.
With the expected release of Biamp’s new Tesira software and hardware at ISE in February 2017, it will be possible to interact with the Dante-enabled Shure MXA910 ceiling array microphone and control signal levels within the Tesira software. The move is meant to make the lives of integrators easier by reducing installation and setup times.
Graeme Harrison, executive vice president of marketing for Biamp, said: “We’re excited to come together with an industry leader like Shure in an effort to streamline the integration of our products. Both companies value customer feedback and leverage it in future product development. Adding Shure microphone-specific software blocks to Tesira’s cutting-edge software made sense; it allows system designers to easily incorporate the power of Shure mics with the power of Tesira. Other developments in this launch will bring this capability to the whole range of Tesira processors, and we will add additional functionality in future releases.â€
Chad Wiggins, senior director for networked systems at Shure, said: “Inter-operability between the MXA910 ceiling array microphone and Tesira processors will make it easier for system integrators to take advantage of its class-leading voice pickup and steerable coverage in a wide assortment of meeting room applications. Together, they deliver a more powerful yet more streamlined solution, with centralized control, simpler installation, and fewer components.â€
