FORTÉ CI

The TesiraFORTÉ CI is a digital audio server with 12 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs and includes Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) technology on all 12 inputs.It also includes up to 8 channels of configurable USB audio. USB audio allows TesiraFORTÉ to interface directly with USB audio hosts, as well as to take full advantage of today’s most sophisticated conferencing solutions.

TesiraFORTÉ AVB CI adds Audio Video Bridging (AVB) digital audio networking. The TesiraFORTÉ Dante CI model adds Dante digital audio networking functionality. The AVB or Dante model can be used as a standalone device or can be combined with other TesiraFORTÉ devices and Tesira servers, expanders, and controllers. TesiraFORTÉ CI also provides extensive audio processing, including but not limited to: Sona™ AEC technology, signal routing and mixing, equalization, filtering, dynamics, and delay, as well as control, monitoring, and diagnostic tools; all configured through the Tesira configuration software. TesiraFORTÉ CI is best suited for small- to medium-sized rooms that require high-quality audio solutions using AEC, voice lift, and mix-minus, such as conference rooms or distance learning environments.

TesiraFORTÉ CI Front and Rear Panels

On Dante enabled models, the AVB port on the rear panel image above will be replaced with a Dante port instead. This physical port is not present on non-AVB & non-Dante enabled TesiraFORTÉ devices. The model and type of digital audio protocol variant (if present) can also be found listed on the front and rear panel text after the TesiraFORTÉ verbiage.
