In today’s world, seamless communication is vital for businesses, especially in large conference rooms and boardrooms. Audio and video clarity can make or break a meeting, and that’s where Biamp excels. The Biamp VBC2500 Video Bar integrates the company’s top-notch audio processing with cutting-edge video technology, delivering a powerful solution for conference spaces.

Superior Audio: The Heart of the VBC2500

Biamp has built a solid reputation for its audio quality, and the VBC2500 Video Bar carries that tradition forward. Known for the impressive performance of their Tesira processors, Biamp has packed the same signal processing technology into this video bar, ensuring crystal-clear audio.

The VBC2500 features a 27-microphone array, capable of covering rooms up to 21 feet in range. This level of coverage ensures that everyone in the room can be heard without the need to shout or lean into the mic. Leveraging AI-powered noise cancellation and intelligent mixing—technologies and algorithms taken directly from Biamp’s Tesira DSPs—the microphones provide unmatched clarity by eliminating background noise and optimizing speech.

While the microphones are a standout feature, the VBC2500's speakers are equally impressive. The built-in subwoofers deliver a solid low-end presence, making voices sound natural and clear. This soundbar isn’t designed to blast music like a car stereo, but it excels in doing what it’s made for: conference room audio. Expect clean, well-rounded sound without distractions or distortion.

Setup & Calibration

Every room has unique acoustic challenges, and Biamp addresses this with their Biamp Launch calibration feature. With the press of a button, the soundbar plays several calibration tones to tune the equalizer, noise cancellation, and audio tracking to match the room’s acoustics. It’s a hassle-free way to ensure you’re getting the best possible sound quality for your space.

Video Quality: Don’t Overlook the Camera

Let’s not forget the VBC2500’s camera, which rivals its audio capabilities. The 13-megapixel Sony sensor delivers sharp, detailed video even in rooms with suboptimal lighting conditions. This ensures that remote participants get a clear view of the room without any dark spots or graininess. Additionally, the camera is equipped with an integrated privacy shutter, protecting it from dust and ensuring smooth operation.

If you’re already satisfied with your video setup, Biamp has you covered with an audio-only version of the VBC2500. The ABC2500 gives you the same superior audio pickup and processing without the added video features. This is a perfect solution for larger spaces that need more than a single camera for video pickup.

All in all, the VBC 2500 is a great option for BYOD systems or conferencing spaces with a room PC. The Biamp Launch calibration has been incredibly helpful in getting system to sound their best, and we’ve been super impressed with the audio quality, even in noisy spaces. Big thank you to Biamp for sending us a Parlé Bar to test out! For more information on any of Biamp’s workplace solutions, visit their website.
