TesiraFORTÉ® AI is a fixed I/O DSP with 12 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs and 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 AI also provides extensive audio processing, including but not limited to: 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 AI is best-suited for small- to medium-sized rooms that require highquality audio solutions using voice lift and mix-minus, such as conference rooms or council chambers.
