Description

The TesiraFORTÉ X 1600 is a powerful, next-generation meeting room DSP designed to support both analog and networked audio formats in unified communications environments. With support for up to 128x128 AVB channels, 32x32 Dante digital audio channels, and full AES67 compatibility, the X 1600 provides exceptional flexibility for integrators building scalable, future-ready systems. Five Gigabit Ethernet ports—four with PoE+—allow media, control, VoIP, and peripheral power to run through a single compact device, simplifying installation and reducing rack requirements.

Sixteen Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) channels can be freely assigned across any analog or digital input, ensuring clear, uninterrupted communication in dynamic room layouts. The USB audio interface supports both mono (1x1) and stereo (2x2) configurations with HID synchronization, enabling the DSP to function as a high-quality audio peripheral for UC platforms, BYOM devices, or systems such as the Biamp Modena family.

The TesiraFORTÉ X 1600 also includes Biamp Launch, an automated tuning system that measures room acoustics and applies optimized processing with a single button press. This ensures consistent performance across all deployed rooms, regardless of size, layout, or installer skill level. Users may also fully customize the system using Tesira software, unlocking advanced tools for routing, mixing, equalization, dynamics control, filtering, delay, monitoring, and diagnostics.

Designed for modern enterprise requirements, the TesiraFORTÉ X 1600 supports IEEE 802.1X port authentication for secure network environments and includes a SIP VoIP interface for seamless telephony integration. It is also compatible with the Parlé Presenter Lift, enabling clear, feedback-free presentation audio without handheld microphones or podium constraints.

TAA compliant and covered by a 5-year warranty, the TesiraFORTÉ X 1600 is a reliable, future-proof DSP solution for organizations standardizing on high-quality, flexible, and secure conferencing technology.

Compatible with Parlé Presenter Lift, which ensures clear, feedback-free presentation audio without handhelds, headsets, or podium mics—simplifying system management, reducing stress for AV professionals, and giving presenters the freedom to move naturally. Learn more
