In the world of professional collaboration, the quality of your audio can make or break a meeting experience. While video may capture attention, it’s clear, intelligible audio that enables genuine understanding and meaningful exchange of ideas. At THINK, we recognise that superior audio is the foundation of effective communication, which is why we’re proud to partner with Biamp, a global leader in professional audio solutions.
Why professional audio matters more than ever
In today’s hybrid work environment, meeting participants connect from diverse locations with varying acoustic conditions. Poor audio quality creates barriers to communication, leads to meeting fatigue, and ultimately reduces productivity. Studies show that participants spend almost 30% of meeting time asking others to repeat themselves or clarifying misunderstandings due to poor audio, time that could be better spent on meaningful collaboration.
Biamp’s audio solutions address these challenges by creating what they call “experience equity,” ensuring that people in different locations can experience meeting and collaborating as if they were together in the same room.

The Biamp advantage: professional audio for every space
With over 50 years of audio expertise, Biamp has developed a comprehensive portfolio of audio processing, microphone, and loudspeaker solutions designed to deliver exceptional performance in any meeting environment. What sets Biamp apart is its focus on creating complete, integrated systems that work together to provide superior audio experiences.
Cutting-edge audio processing
At the core of Biamp’s solutions is their industry-leading digital signal processing (DSP) technology, which intelligently manages audio to ensure clear, natural-sounding communication:
- Acoustic Echo Cancellation: Biamp’s patented technology eliminates the distracting echo that occurs when microphones pick up sound from speakers, even when people at the near and far end speak simultaneously.
- AI Noise Reduction: Advanced algorithms intelligently identify and eliminate unwanted background noises, from keyboard typing to paper shuffling, while preserving the natural quality of speech.
- Automatic Gain Control: This technology automatically adjusts participant volume levels to ensure everyone is heard clearly, regardless of how loudly or softly they speak.
Innovative microphone solutions
Biamp’s Parlé family of ceiling, tabletop, and pendant microphones features Beamtracking technology, which actively follows speakers as they move around the room. Unlike conventional beamforming microphones that require manual adjustment, Beamtracking microphones automatically identify and lock onto voices, ensuring consistent audio pickup regardless of where participants are positioned.
- Parlé TCM-X: Ceiling-mounted microphones that blend seamlessly into the room aesthetic.
- Parlé TTM-X: Tabletop microphones for conference tables and desks.
- Parlé TCM-XA: Ceiling microphones with built-in amplification for simplified installations.
For small to medium meeting spaces, Biamp’s Parlé Conferencing Bars provide a complete audio solution in a single device. The Parlé VBC 2500 combines Beamtracking microphones, smart loudspeakers, and advanced signal processing into one integrated unit, with optional 4K video. The Parlé ABC 2500a is an audio-focused bar featuring a 27-element microphone array with Beamtracking and built-in speakers.
High-performance loudspeakers
Completing the audio experience, Biamp’s Desono loudspeakers deliver superior sound reproduction that ensures remote participants’ voices are heard with remarkable clarity. Available in various form factors, these speakers integrate seamlessly with Biamp’s processing and microphone technologies.

Simplified deployment and management
- Launch auto setup: With the push of a button, Biamp’s Launch technology automatically optimises your system in less than two minutes, analysing the acoustic properties of your room and configuring all audio parameters for optimal performance.
- Single cable smart wiring: Biamp’s smart wiring solutions simplify installation by allowing installers to connect Biamp loudspeakers and microphones with a single Cat5e cable, reducing errors and speeding up deployment.
- SageVue management platform: The SageVue software platform provides comprehensive monitoring and management, allowing IT teams to remotely configure, control, and maintain their Biamp systems across the organisation from a single interface.
The THINK implementation approach
At THINK, we take a consultative, end-to-end approach to implementing Biamp audio solutions. We begin with a thorough acoustic assessment of your meeting spaces, considering room dimensions, acoustic properties, typical participant count, and integration with existing video and control systems. From there we design a customised system, install and calibrate every component, commission it using Biamp’s Launch auto-setup, and provide comprehensive training and ongoing support.
We do more than install speakers. Check out what we can do for your business.
Real-world applications and benefits
Biamp audio solutions, when implemented by THINK, deliver enhanced meeting productivity, reduced meeting fatigue, improved remote inclusion, streamlined IT management through SageVue, and a future-proof investment thanks to Biamp’s modular approach.
