Description
The TesiraFORTÉ CI is a fixed-I/O digital signal processor purpose-built for audio conferencing applications where superior speech clarity and advanced acoustic echo cancellation are essential. With 12 microphone/line inputs featuring AEC, it removes echo and reflections to deliver clean, intelligible audio for remote participants, even in acoustically challenging rooms.
The processor includes 8 mic/line outputs for flexible routing to loudspeakers, external amplifiers, recording devices, or auxiliary zones. All configuration is handled through Tesira software, providing complete control over routing, mixing, equalization, filtering, dynamics, and delay for precise system tuning.
Designed for smooth integration, the TesiraFORTÉ CI includes a Gigabit Ethernet port for system configuration and control, along with RS-232 and GPIO connections for integration with automation systems, control processors, and room devices. The onboard OLED display with capacitive-touch navigation gives installers and technicians a clear, immediate view of device status during commissioning and service.
With an internal universal power supply, the TesiraFORTÉ CI installs easily in projects around the world and meets CE, UL, and RoHS compliance standards. Full TAA compliance also makes it suitable for U.S. federal and government installations.
Backed by a 5-year warranty, the TesiraFORTÉ CI provides reliable, high-quality audio processing for professional conferencing environments of all types.
Key features:
- Enhance clarity for remote participants — the TesiraFORTÉ CI includes 12 AEC-enabled mic/line inputs, ensuring natural, echo-free conversations in conferencing environments.
- Support multi-zone output needs — 8 mic/line outputs provide routing flexibility for loudspeakers, recording feeds, overflow rooms, or assistive listening systems.
- Integrate seamlessly — the Gigabit Ethernet port enables fast configuration, control, and reliable communication over the network.
- Connect to external systems — RS-232 and GPIO ports allow smooth integration with control processors, automation platforms, and third-party room devices.
- Simplify commissioning — the two-line OLED display with capacitive-touch navigation provides clear, intuitive access to system status and diagnostics.
- Deploy globally — the internal universal power supply ensures compatibility with international voltage standards for worldwide installations.
- Customize audio performance — Tesira software gives full control over signal routing, mixing, EQ, filtering, dynamics, and delay.
- Invest with confidence — the TesiraFORTÉ CI is TAA compliant and backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty for long-term reliability.
