Latin America. Biamp announced the signing of an agreement to acquire ClearOne's assets, including intellectual property and trademarks. This acquisition adds signal processing designs and patents to Biamp's technology portfolio.
For more than two decades, ClearOne engineers drove the development of audio conferencing with contributions in DSP, acoustic echo cancellation, microphone array processing, and beamforming/beam steering techniques.
The assets acquired include designs and several major patents associated with beamforming microphone arrays and innovations related to audio signal processing.
"ClearOne helped set a benchmark in professional audio, especially in beamforming microphones and core DSPs," said Rashid Skaf, President, CEO and Co-President of Biamp.
"The addition of these assets to Biamp strengthens our strong foundation in audio engineering and will enhance future product innovations across our portfolio. Our mission remains to deliver the best-quality, most reliable sound experiences on the market, and these assets fully align with that goal."
Biamp assumes no obligation to continue to sell, support, or develop ClearOne-branded products as a result of this transaction.
The company is focused on the intelligent integration of selected intellectual property and designs into future Biamp solutions, in a way that improves performance, ease of implementation and long-term value for customers.
