We study an integrable conformal OSp(2m+2|2m) supercoset model as an analog to the AdS5\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fiS5 superstring world-sheet theory. Using the known S-matrix for this system, we obtain integral equations for states of large particle number in an SU(2) sector, which are exact in the sigma model coupling constant. As a check, we derive as a limit the general classical Bethe equation of Kazakov, Marshakov, Minahan, and Zarembo. There are two distinct quantum expansions around the well-studied classical limit, the \ensuremathλ^\ensuremath-1/2 effects and the 1/J effects. Our approach captures the first type, but not the second.
