Biamp TesiraFORTE DAN CI

The TesiraFORTÉ DAN CI is a purpose-built digital signal processor designed for conferencing environments that require Dante networking, AES67 interoperability, and advanced acoustic echo cancellation. With 32×32 channels of Dante, the processor integrates seamlessly into large-scale audio-over-IP systems, offering robust routing and low-latency audio transport across enterprise, education, and government installations.

Equipped with 12 microphone/line inputs featuring AEC, the TesiraFORTÉ DAN CI delivers clean, echo-free speech for remote participants, ensuring clarity even in acoustically challenging rooms. The 8 mic/line outputs provide flexible distribution to loudspeakers, zone amplifiers, recording devices, and auxiliary systems.

Configuration and control are managed through Tesira software, offering comprehensive tools for routing, mixing, EQ, filtering, dynamics, and delay processing. The unit provides Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232, and GPIO connectivity for integration with automation platforms and third-party control systems. An onboard two-line OLED display with capacitive-touch navigation allows installers to quickly review system status and make critical adjustments onsite.

Engineered for reliability and ease of deployment, the TesiraFORTÉ DAN CI includes an internal universal power supply and meets CE, UL, and RoHS compliance standards. The processor is fully TAA compliant, making it appropriate for U.S. federal and government projects. As a Biamp Workplace Ready device, it supports cloud-based monitoring, remote commands, and lifecycle management through the Biamp Workplace platform.

Backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty, the TesiraFORTÉ DAN CI provides dependable, high-performance conferencing audio for mission-critical environments.
