Biamp Unveils Parlé Participant Lift, Bringing Professional Audio Reinforcement to Every Voice in the Room
Posted on Tuesday, February 3, 2026

BEAVERTON, Ore., USA & BARCELONA — Biamp, a leading provider of professional audiovisual solutions, today announced the launch of Parlé Participant Lift at ISE 2026 in Barcelona. This groundbreaking software update leverages Parlé microphones and Tesira digital signal processors in a comprehensive mix-minus voice lift solution, enabling organizations to deliver crystal-clear audio reinforcement in large meeting spaces and learning environments, so participants can easily hear and interact with one another.

Building on Parlé Presenter Lift, which ensures that speakers, presenters, and lecturers are clearly heard throughout large venues without the need for uncomfortable headset or lapel microphones, Parlé Participant Lift automatically reinforces voices from different locations in the room to ensure every contribution is heard clearly by all attendees—without the need for handheld or tabletop microphones. Together, these features solve the persistent problem of poor speech intelligibility in large spaces while maintaining a seamless, technology-invisible experience for panel discussions, classroom engagement, strategic planning sessions, and more.

“Parlé microphones have long been recognized for delivering great sound for remote participants in conferencing environments. With Parlé Participant Lift, we're extending that same audio excellence to help people in the same room understand each other better,” said Joe Andrulis, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, Biamp. "Parlé Participant Lift represents a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering unified, intelligent audio ecosystems that solve real-world challenges and create extraordinary audio experiences, while simplifying deployment and reducing total cost of ownership.”

The solution delivers enterprise-grade performance and streamlines the deployment process through a suite of advanced features that set a new standard for voice lift technology. Beamlocking technology enables the microphone to focus pickup patterns on specific areas such as panel seating or audience areas, ensuring consistent performance regardless of room dynamics. In conjunction, advanced feedback suppression algorithms work continuously in the background, enabling higher gain levels and clearer reinforcement while maintaining system stability even in acoustically challenging environments.

Additionally, Biamp is introducing the new Dynamic Processing Library within the Tesira software to save programming time required to manually create all the blocks and lines for a a specific project. This tool allows users to easily enter the number of microphones and loudspeakers in the system. It then dynamically creates a complete processing configuration for the correct number of channels and processing blocks.

The new Mix Minus Calculator automatically calculates all the mixing, routing, and gain parameters between every microphone and loudspeaker and generates a settings file. To streamline commissioning, the new Matrix Mixer Import capability enables integrators to import the settings file and rapidly configure complex audio routing scenarios. This dramatically reduces deployment time and potential configuration errors.

With Parlé Participant Lift, AV and IT managers gain a streamlined solution that leverages existing infrastructure, reducing capital expenditure while simplifying system management through the Biamp unified software platform. End users experience transparent, automatic audio reinforcement that requires no technical knowledge or manual intervention, ensuring every meeting, lecture, or presentation delivers optimal intelligibility. Integrators benefit from faster deployment times, reduced site visits, and simplified commissioning processes, improving project margins while delivering superior results. Parlé Participant Lift will be available as a software update at no additional cost to existing Biamp customers with the release of Tesira 5.6, scheduled for later this year.
