ISE 2019 will see the latest amplifier from AV equipment professionals Biamp. The new rack-mounted amp will be revealed February 5-8 in stand 3-B120 at ISE 2019.

The amps are perfectly symmetrical and have very few constraints in terms of available power. These are the only amplifiers to support the secure 802.1X authentication.

Biamp vice president of corporate development Joe Andrulis, says, “Designers use a wide variety of loudspeakers in a given space and across projects. This means amplifiers must be highly flexible to accommodate the speaker selection and design philosophy. The new Tesira amplifiers are the only digital amps to offer such flexibility with selectable impedance, power distribution, and choice of a preferred network topology — from redundancy to daisy chain, single cable or separate control and media. This flexibility let’s Biamp cover a range of applications with just two models that competitors need several more models to match, making Biamp’s amplifiers easier to stock, spec and commission.”

The two models on offer are the Tesira 1200.1 — 4-channel, 1200W amplifier, single asymmetric bank and the Tesira 1200.2 — 4-channel, 2400W amplifier, dual asymmetric banks.

Each model enables media and control on a single port. The architecture of Biamp enables integrators to distribute 1-100% of available power to any channel. The amplifiers support both selectable impedance (4Ω, 8Ω, 70V or 100V) as well as patented delay equalization per channel. The models include an audible locate feature on the front panel, allowing installers to quickly and easily validate connected loudspeaker runs. These amplifiers would compliment auditoriums, lecture halls or any common area and are supported by Biamp’s device monitoring system SageVue.

The new Tesira 1200 series amplifiers will be available Q2 of 2019.
