The love of sound is Biamp‘s reason for being, and has been since our founding 35 years ago. We’ve grown to be an acknowledged international leader in professional installed audio electronics. Our staff still shares a passion for sound that resonates through every product and every decision the company makes.

You can sense our dedication to sound when you call for support and Biamp’s own technicians answer — in-house. You touch it when you use our intuitive software to configure new systems. You can hear our passion for great sound grow louder with every breakthrough design Biamp launches.

Most people have never seen Biamp products, but they’ve probably heard them work wonders — in airports, arenas, courtrooms, Houses of Worship, theaters, universities, corporations, and conference centers. Around the world, around the clock, Biamp equipment is delivering, managing and enhancing the sound.

For the love of sound, we never stop experimenting, tinkering and making the impossible actually practical. Because ultimately, when the lights dim and the speakers come on, it’s not about the system. It’s all about the sound..
