International. Biamp Systems announced the acquisition of Dev-Audio, a developer of advanced microphone processing technologies, the Microcone product and its associated software application, Microcone Recorder, products that actively track and improve voice quality, adaptively reduce background noise and record directly to any computer.
"The acquisition of Dev-Audio is a natural step for Biamp as a company focused on delivering high-quality audio products to its customers. Innovative communications are part of Biamp's stated vision, and Dev Audio's products and technologies align perfectly with this vision," said Biamp Systems President and CEO Steve Metzger.
Using a set of high-quality microphones designed specifically for group configuration, Microcone actively locates voices while reducing background noise, resulting in exceptionally clear audio for a wide variety of applications.
Microcone Recorder is a sophisticated control application available for both Windows and Mac X operating systems. It allows you to keep program records, tags, and remember meetings through a database. The full range of Microcone products also includes Microcone Voices, which is a Skype app that identifies participants in a conference; and Remote Microcone, which is an iPhone app that provides complete control of the Microcone, including meeting scheduling and tagging.
Iain McCowan, Founder and CEO of Dev-Audio, has extensive experience in microphone array technology and will join Biamp as a DSP engineer.
"We are all very pleased to welcome Iain to the Biamp team. Their experience in new product development will allow us to develop more innovative products for the conferencing market," said Matt Czyzewski, Executive Vice President of Operations at Biamp.
