Biamp Systems and Shure have announced compatibility between Biamp’s Tesira audio processors and software and Shure’s Microflex Advance array microphones with Steerable Coverage.

With the forthcoming release of Biamp’s latest Tesira software and hardware, it will be possible to interact with the Dante-enabled Shure MXA910 ceiling array microphone and control signal levels within the Tesira software. This will enable system integrators to deliver flexible, fully-digital audio solutions that meet the complex needs of their clients while reducing installation and set-up time.

‘Both companies value customer feedback and leverage it in future product development,’ says Biamp Systems Executive VP of Marketing, Graeme Harrison. 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.’

’Interoperability 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,’ says Shure Senior Director for Networked Systems, Chad Wiggins. ‘Together, they deliver a more powerful yet more streamlined solution, with centralised control, simpler installation, and fewer components.’

Tesira’s software enables system designers to build complete A/V solutions using features like its drag-and-drop interface for a variety of software blocks. The Tesira software enables designers to plan a completely integrated A/V solution, including yet-to-be-built future phases.
