For more than two decades, ClearOne engineers have made innovative contributions in DSP, acoustic echo cancellation, microphone array processing, and beamforming/beam-steering techniques. The acquired assets include designs and several significant patents associated with beamforming microphone arrays and related audio signal-processing innovations.
“ClearOne helped set benchmarks in professional audio, particularly in beamforming microphones and core DSP,” said Rashid Skaf, Biamp president, CEO, and co-chairman. “Bringing these assets into Biamp strengthens our already deep audio engineering foundation and will enhance future product innovations across our portfolio. Our mission remains delivering the most reliable, best-sounding experiences in the market, and these assets align squarely with that goal.”
Biamp does not assume any obligations to continue selling, supporting, or developing ClearOne-branded products as a result of this transaction. The company’s focus is on thoughtful integration of selected IP and designs into future Biamp solutions in ways that elevate performance, ease of deployment, and long-term value for customers.
