The TesiraFORTE® CI is a fixed audio DSP 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 TesiraFORTE to interface directly with USB audio hosts, as well as to take full advantage of today's most sophisticated conferencing solutions. TesiraFORTE CI also provides extensive audio processing, including but not limited to 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. TesiraFORTE 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.
