Overview
The Biamp Tesira EX-USB is a PoE-powered expander that carries up to eight USB audio channels in and eight out across an Ethernet network, so the USB source does not have to sit within the 5-metre USB cable limit. It is Microsoft Teams and Zoom certified, configured through Tesira software, and suits conference rooms and multi-purpose spaces across Doha, Lusail and Al Rayyan where USB audio must reach a Tesira DSP. Request a quote.
Carrying USB audio beyond the cable limit
The Tesira EX-USB is a compact expander that moves USB digital audio across an Ethernet network instead of along a USB cable. Because the signal travels over the network, it is not restricted by the 5-metre maximum USB connection length set by the USB specification. That makes it practical where the USB source, such as a conferencing codec or a PC, sits away from the equipment rack.
It also suits projects that need several USB audio inputs, and projects that use a Tesira SERVER or SERVER-IO as the DSP. Those units have no onboard USB connection, so the EX-USB supplies that connectivity over the network. Each unit handles up to eight channels in and eight out, enabled and configured through the Tesira software.
Specifications that matter for planning
- Power: PoE to IEEE 802.3at Class 2, 7W, so the unit does not need its own mains adapter.
- Audio: USB audio at 16-bit or 24-bit depth and a 48 kHz sample rate, up to 8 x 8 channels.
- Network: RJ-45 connection using Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable.
- Indicator: green and red LED showing power and fault status.
- Size and weight: 24 mm high, 64 mm wide, 106 mm deep, 0.1 kg.
- Operating conditions: 0 to 40°C ambient, 0 to 95% relative humidity non-condensing, up to 3,000 m altitude.
Where it fits in Qatar
A conference room in West Bay or The Pearl often needs a USB audio feed from a video conferencing codec to the room DSP while the codec is mounted at the far end of the room. The EX-USB carries that feed over the network cabling already in the room, without a long USB run across the floor.
A training centre in Education City fitting out several multi-purpose rooms can add one EX-USB per room where USB audio sources are located away from the DSP. A hotel ballroom in Lusail running events with several USB audio sources at the stage end can use the same approach. In both cases the expander keeps the audio path on the network.
Installations in plant rooms, unconditioned spaces or enclosures without ventilation need care. The unit is rated for 0 to 40°C ambient, and Qatar summers regularly exceed 45°C outdoors, so confirm the ambient temperature of the intended location with the SmartRooms Qatar team before mounting.
What to plan before ordering
Confirm the switch before ordering. Each EX-USB needs a PoE port that supplies IEEE 802.3at Class 2 power on a Cat 5e or higher Ethernet run. Map the USB sources, the DSP and the switch ports on a simple plan so you know how many units and channels each room needs.
SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, which help confirm cable routes, switch locations and room conditions before a purchase order is raised. Organisations ordering through an LPO or a government tender, including tenders on Monaqasat, can send the requirement to our team, and quotations are usually issued within one working day. The EX-USB is covered by the manufacturer's 5-year warranty. Request a quote for the EX-USB, and tell us how many rooms and USB channels your project needs.

5 files from the manufacturerQuestions about Tesira EX-USB
What is the Biamp Tesira EX-USB used for?
The Tesira EX-USB carries USB digital audio across an Ethernet network so a USB source can sit away from the DSP. It is aimed at conferencing installations such as meeting rooms and multi-purpose spaces where USB audio from a PC or codec must reach the Tesira system. With support for up to 8 x 8 channels, it suits rooms with several USB audio inputs. Request a quote to confirm it fits your room layout and channel count.
Does the EX-USB need its own power supply?
No separate mains adapter is listed for the unit because it is powered by PoE to IEEE 802.3at Class 2 at 7W. Connect it to a PoE port on a Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable. Before ordering, check that the switch port you plan to use can supply 802.3at Class 2 power. SmartRooms Qatar can help you confirm the switch requirement during the quotation stage.
How many audio channels does the EX-USB support?
It supports up to 8 x 8 channels of USB audio, meaning eight inputs and eight outputs, at 16-bit or 24-bit depth with a 48 kHz sample rate. The channels are enabled and configured through the Tesira software. If a room needs more than eight channels in each direction, plan for a second unit. Request a quote and send your channel list so we can quote the right number of units.
Can the EX-USB be used with a Tesira SERVER or SERVER-IO?
Yes. Those DSPs have no onboard USB connection, which is why the EX-USB is suited to projects that use them as the DSP. The expander brings USB audio to the system over the network. Before ordering, confirm your Tesira software version and network design with the SmartRooms Qatar team, so the configuration matches your project.
Is the EX-USB certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom?
The manufacturer lists the EX-USB as Microsoft Teams Certified and Zoom Certified, and as Cisco Verified. For a Doha meeting room that runs Teams or Zoom calls with colleagues abroad, these listings help procurement teams check the audio path against those platforms. Confirm the exact certified configuration against the manufacturer documentation before finalising the design. Request a quote to discuss your platforms.
What environmental conditions does the EX-USB handle?
The rated ambient operating range is 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F), with 0 to 95% relative humidity non-condensing and operation up to 3,000 m altitude. Qatar summers can push outdoor temperatures above 45°C, so avoid placing the unit in an unventilated cabinet or an unconditioned plant room without checking first. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the location before mounting.
Is the EX-USB suitable for a school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms?
The data points to conference rooms and multi-purpose spaces, not to a specific classroom use. A school in Al Wakrah fitting out a multi-purpose hall or a staff meeting room with several USB audio sources may find it useful. For standard classrooms, confirm the audio layout and channel needs first. Request a quote and describe the room, the number of USB sources and the DSP you plan to use.
How large is the EX-USB and does its size affect placement?
The unit measures 24 mm high, 64 mm wide and 106 mm deep, and weighs 0.1 kg. Its small footprint leaves room for placement close to the audio sources or in a rack with other equipment. The data does not specify a mounting method, so confirm how it will be fixed in your room during the site survey. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys before any purchase order is raised.
Does the EX-USB comply with US federal procurement rules?
Yes. The manufacturer states that the EX-USB complies with the US Trade Agreement Act (TAA), which allows it to be included in GSA Schedule contractors' bids for US federal government sales. It is also CE marked, UL listed and RoHS compliant. Organisations in Qatar with a multinational or US-funded project should note the TAA status when comparing audio expanders. Request a quote for the documentation you need.
What warranty applies to the EX-USB?
The manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty on the Tesira EX-USB, and SmartRooms Qatar supplies it under that manufacturer warranty. For a facilities or IT manager comparing options, a 5-year period is a clear term to record in the purchase file. If you need the full warranty terms for a tender submission, request them with your quotation.
How do ministries and schools in Qatar order the EX-USB through an LPO or tender?
SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including tenders on Monaqasat. A ministry or school ordering several EX-USB units for different rooms can send one purchase order covering all units, channels and accessories. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. Request a quote with your quantities and room list.
Which Qatar locations can SmartRooms Qatar deliver the EX-USB to?
SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all 8 municipalities of Qatar, including Doha, Lusail, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah, Al Khor, Mesaieed and Ras Laffan. Delivery timing is an estimate based on stock and is confirmed with your quotation. For projects in Ras Laffan or Mesaieed, mention the site location in your request so the quotation reflects the delivery and installation planning for that site.
