Biamp Systems

What Biamp Systems does

Biamp Systems is a Beaverton, Oregon-based manufacturer of professional audiovisual equipment, founded in 1976 and owned since 2017 by Highlander Partners. The company sells DSP processors, networked audio and video signal distribution platforms, beamtracking microphones, conferencing bars, professional cameras, amplifiers, loudspeakers, control systems, sound masking, and room scheduling solutions to enterprise, education, government, courts, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, sports and entertainment, and houses of worship customers worldwide. Its flagship platform is Tesira, a networked AV signal distribution architecture that combines audio DSP with video processing, supplemented by the Parlé microphone family, Vidi camera family, Devio UC compute solutions, Cambridge Qt X sound masking, Community and Desono loudspeakers, Voltera amplifiers, Vocia networked paging, Impera and Apprimo control, Evoko scheduling, and the Biamp Workplace cloud platform.

Biamp's revenue model is anchored in one-time hardware sales of professional AV equipment, sold either direct or through an extensive channel of distributors and system integrators, with project-based quote pricing and multi-year contracts typical for enterprise deployments. Recurring revenue is beginning to accrue through the Biamp Workplace cloud management platform, SageVue device management with RESTful API, and software updates, while professional design services (loudspeaker, sound masking, system design) supplement project revenue. The company has executed six add-on acquisitions since 2017 — Cambridge Sound Management (2018), Community Loudspeakers and Apart Audio (2019), Huddle Room Technology (2020), Neets A/S (2021), Evoko (2023), and ClearOne IP (2025) — to build out a comprehensive end-to-end AV portfolio. Proprietary technology includes patented Beamtracking microphone technology, Burst Mode PoE+ amplifier technology, and Magic Cable loudspeaker installation technology, alongside certifications with Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, Cisco, Barco, and Lenovo.

Biamp distributes through a hybrid model combining direct-to-market operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and Sweden with appointed regional distributors across Benelux, Italy, mainland China, Southeast Asia, and Australia and New Zealand, supported by regional warehousing and a global system integrator network. The company employs 800+ people globally with offices in Oregon, New York, Australia, Belgium, and broader Europe, Middle East, India, and Asia-Pacific coverage, and maintains an active trade show presence at InfoComm and ISE. Its go-to-market targets enterprise and mid-market buyers with complex AV requirements spanning conference rooms, huddle spaces, large venues, paging systems, and distributed enterprise deployments.
