Conferencing Simplified by Biamp

Simplifying your conferencing is why we created three new all-digital audio solutions, allowing you to choose only the products you need. At the heart of the Biamp conference room are three key components: a microphone, an amplifier, and DSP.

A Biamp room emphasizes the user experience—not just with the technology itself, but also with how people interact with it. That’s why we give people the ability to move around the room as they see fit, not as the microphone dictates.

While each element is powerful in its own right, the combination of all three devices inside a self-contained Biamp ecosystem is what sets our AV experiences apart for the end user. Choosing this combination provides the following benefits to the integrator:

Reduced programming time
Reduced installation time
Equipment cost savings
Exceptional conferencing experiences for your customers

What Is Beamtracking Technology?

Beamforming microphones are arrays of microphone elements with “beams” (polar patterns) that can be controlled and shaped via DSP, allowing the beams to be “aimed” at specific areas of the room. While the development of beamforming microphones has been a significant advancement for professional AV, the fact remains that the beams determine where people should be. We think this is the wrong way around. Instead, we think people should determine where the beams are directed.

Beamtracking technology differs from beamforming in that it allows a single microphone to cover a wide area with little to no setup, since the microphone identifies and locks to a signal source—even if the person speaking is moving around. Our beamtracking microphones also intelligently mix conversations from around the table, allowing far-end conference participants to experience a more natural-sounding conversation. The patented interactions between our AEC and beamtracking algorithms dynamically adjust the output in real-time to ensure far-end echo is minimized.
