Biamp Launch measures the acoustic characteristics of the room and then automatically applies signal processing, acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), speaker tuning, and noise reduction. Biamp Launch supports Biamp Parlé microphones and a range of other Biamp network peripherals, including the AMP450 range of PoE+-powered amplifiers, the HD-1 dialer, and the EX-UBT USB extender.
“Biamp Launch, Biamp’s one-touch automatic discovery and tuning feature, represents 45 years of audio experience," Skaf said. "We have used everything we’ve learned—from engineering to design to tech support—to make a really complex process simple. Now, with the press of a single button we can design a consistently great audio experience in any space with remarkable speed. It’s one of the most important innovations in Biamp’s history.”
The Bottom Line: By automating the room tuning and commissioning process, Biamp Launch enables consistently clear audio in any space with remarkable speed.
