SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE CONFERENCE ROOM
TesiraFORTÉ® AVB VT4 AND HD-1 DIALER
In conference rooms large and small, you no longer have to yell into a phone at the center of the table to be
heard. Our new Beamtracking™ microphones actively track and intelligently mix conversations from around
the table, allowing far-end conference participants to experience the conversation naturally. Each pendant
microphone uses only one channel of AEC, leaving two inputs available on the TesiraFORTÉ® AVB VT4 for
local program audio. The VT4 also supports VoIP, POTS, and USB conferencing for total flexibility, creating a
superior audio experience that leaves everyone on the call feeling heard.
