Biamp 920-00318-00001 Tesira TEC-1i

Product Overview

The Biamp Tesira TEC-1i is a PoE Ethernet control device that gives end users a simple, intuitive interface for Tesira and TesiraFORTE audio systems. It flush-mounts into a wall for the smallest possible profile, making it a clean choice for conference rooms, boardrooms, and other commercial meeting spaces that need at-the-wall control of volume and system functions. A single CAT-5/6/7 cable carries both data and power, so no local power supply or custom cabling is required. The TEC-1i puts up to 32 programmable system volumes and actions within reach of the user.

Product Description

The TEC-1i is programmed in the Tesira system design software, where each control is configured for a specific application. Volumes can be any individual or grouped system level, including inputs, outputs, and matrix cross-points, while actions can be presets, source selection, mutes, ducking, or room combining. A high-contrast OLED display with a wide viewing angle pairs with a capacitive touch scroll wheel for menu navigation, and the display auto-dims when not in use. Because capacitive touch has no protruding or moving parts, the panel is reliable and easy to clean in high-traffic rooms. The TEC-1i is powered over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at Class 1) and connects with a standard RJ-45 or IDC connector, with cable runs up to 330 feet (100 m) that extend further using standard PoE network technology. It flush-mounts using the included retrofit plate or a Raco 254 box for North American installations. Browse the full Biamp collection and build out the rest of the signal chain with Tesira components such as the Tesira SIC-4 input card. It is a commercial-grade control panel backed by a five-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which systems does the TEC-1i control?
The TEC-1i provides programmable remote control of volume and selection functions for Biamp Tesira and TesiraFORTE products.

How is the TEC-1i powered?
It is a PoE network appliance powered over the same CAT-5/6/7 cable that carries control data, so no local power supply is needed.

How is it mounted?
The TEC-1i flush-mounts into a wall using the included retrofit plate, or it installs in a Raco 254 box for North American installations.

How is the panel programmed?
Each control is configured for its specific operation in the Tesira system design software, mapping up to 32 volumes and actions.

How far can the control be located from the system?
Standard Ethernet runs reach 330 feet (100 m) and can be extended further using standard PoE switches, hubs, and media converters.

What is the difference between the TEC-1i and TEC-1s?
The TEC-1i is designed for flush in-surface mounting with the smallest profile, while the TEC-1s is a surface-mount version with a rear chassis.

What warranty does it include?
The TEC-1i is covered by Biamp's five-year warranty.
