Installation & Operation Guide

TesiraFORTÉ

The TesiraFORTÉ products are audio DSP devices designed to operate as 

standalone processing devices with Tesira expanders and controllers, or as part 

of a full set of Tesira devices. 

The TesiraFORTÉ products are separated into AVB-equipped, Dante-equipped 

or standalone TesiraFORTÉ devices with no digital audio protocol feature. 

TesiraFORTÉ VT4 is separated into AVB-equipped and Dante-equipped, but 

does not feature a standalone model (digital audio protocol feature). 

The models with AVB (Audio Video Bridging) have an additional RJ-45 Ethernet 

connector for connecting with other Tesira and 3rd party AVB devices using an 

AVB switch. Dante models feature an RJ-45 Ethernet connector in the place of 

the AVB RJ-45 connector. This allows other Dante enabled Tesira or 3rd party 

devices to communicate with switches. 

The TesiraFORTÉ AVB servers have a capacity of 128 channels of audio in and 

128 channels of audio out. TesiraFORTÉ DAN (Dante) models have a capacity 

of 32 channels of audio in and 32 channels of audio out. The standalone 

TesiraFORTÉ products have the same features and processing functionality as 

the AVB and the Dante equipped servers, but without the ability to make a digital 

audio connection to other Tesira audio devices.

level outputs
