The love of sound is Biamp’s reason for being. Since our founding in 1976 we’ve become an international
leader in professional audio systems. Our staff shares a passion for sound that resonates through every
product and decision the company makes.
You can sense our dedication to sound when you call for support and Biamp’s own global team answers –
around the clock and around the world. You touch it when you use our intuitive software to configure
new systems. You can hear the clarity of Biamp TrueSound™ engineered into every piece of equipment
we make and every line of software we write. Biamp TrueSound is limitless, pure, natural and true to life.
Our latest proprietary innovation is the Biamp TrueSound™ AEC Algorithm – the world’s most advanced
acoustic echo cancellation. It delivers true 20Hz to 20kHz wideband AEC – all the time – and without
compromising core DSP resources.
Audia®, our premier product line, is not only the most comprehensive network Digital Audio Platform
on the market today. It’s also the most flexible and customizable, with smart, user-defined software
and infinite networking potential.
Our breakthrough new I/O cards for AudiaFLEX include the AEC-2HD card with the Biamp TrueSound
AEC Algorithm. And our new PA-2 Dual-Channel Power Amplifier Card gives you the power of an amp
in a card. With AudiaFLEX you can customize your system using up to 24 channels, in any combination
of inputs and outputs. For simpler installations an AudiaSOLO unit can provide the power of an entire rack
of processors.
Biamp’s industry firsts continue with our new Nexia VC (for videoconferencing) and Nexia TC
(for teleconferencing) Digital Signal Processors. Our TrueSound AEC Algorithm is built-in for true-to-life
sound. These intuitive, network-ready processors deliver a full range of audio routing and signal
processing features in single economical, easy-to-install boxes. In fact our entire Nexia® line offers
unmatched value and scalability.
EuropeWest
europewest@biamp.com
On the analog side we’ve continued to enhance our line of mixers, powered mixers and amplifiers.
Count on Biamp for feature-rich amplifiers like our CPA650 Commercial Amplifier, D60EQ Integrated
Amplifier/Equalizer and the MXA Series of Commercial Mixer/Amplifiers.
Mid-East & Africa
meafrica@biamp.com
Because, like you, we have a love of sound, we never stop turning “what if” ideas into industry leading
products. Because ultimately, as you know, it’s not about the system. It’s all about the sound.

“AVYVE has been extremely pleased with the Audia
product. It is such a versatile component that we’ve used
reliably in boardrooms, theaters, gymnasiums, and
classrooms for the past two years. It simplifies design and
programming to have a single device that handles our
client’s mixing, DSP, and teleconferencing requirements.”
