Designed exclusively for Biamp Tesira systems, it pairs an eight-element digital array with three 120-degree zones for full 360-degree coverage of the table. This ceiling-suspended conference room microphone keeps table surfaces clear while automatically tracking and mixing talkers around the room. It is part of the wider Biamp \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/collections\/biamp\"\u003eParlé microphone range\u003c\/a\u003e for commercial AV installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parlé TCM-1 consists of a pendant microphone and a plenum box that houses the digital signal processing used for Beamtracking. Because the DSP is on board, the microphone actively tracks conversation and intelligently mixes talkers so far-end participants hear the discussion clearly, without manual gating or lobe aiming. The pendant hangs from the ceiling on a user-adjustable height cable, making it a practical AVB Beamtracking pendant microphone for rooms where a table-top or ceiling-flush microphone is not ideal. Audio, configuration, and control all travel over a single category cable using an AVB\/TSN network, which simplifies installation and reduces cabling in the rack and ceiling. The plenum box connects to the network switch over one RJ-45 and provides a second RJ-45 so up to two TCM-1EX expander microphones can be daisy-chained for larger tables, for a maximum of three microphones per chain. Signal routing, mixing, equalization, dynamics, and delay are all configured in Tesira design software alongside the rest of the room's audio. The TCM-1 is powered over the network by PoE (IEEE 802.3at Class 3), so no local power supply is required at the microphone. It is evaluated to UL 2043 and suitable for use in air-handling (plenum) spaces, which matters for open-ceiling and code-driven commercial deployments. For integrators building a complete Tesira conference room, the TCM-1 works alongside companion Parlé devices such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/biamp-920-00029-10000-parle-dtm-x-black\"\u003eParlé DTM-X tabletop microphone\u003c\/a\u003e and mounting accessories like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/biamp-910-00462-seismic-cable-adapter\"\u003eParlé seismic cable adapter\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeamtracking pendant microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e — An eight-element digital array actively tracks and intelligently mixes conversations for natural, hands-free voice capture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e360-degree coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Three 120-degree zones provide full coverage of the table so every participant is heard regardless of seat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn-board DSP\u003c\/strong\u003e — The plenum box includes the digital signal processing for Beamtracking, so the microphone works without external mixing hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-cable AVB installation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Audio networking, configuration, and control run over one category cable using an AVB\/TSN connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE powered\u003c\/strong\u003e — The microphone draws power over the network via PoE (IEEE 802.3at Class 3), removing the need for a local power supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaisy-chain expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e — A second RJ-45 allows up to two TCM-1EX expanders to extend coverage across larger tables.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlenum rated\u003c\/strong\u003e — Evaluated to UL 2043, the TCM-1 is suitable for installation in air-handling spaces above the ceiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — Backed by Biamp's five-year warranty for commercial-grade reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:320px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003eParlé TCM-1 (Black) \/ 920-00485-10000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003eMicrophone technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003e8-element digital array\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003eCoverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003eThree 120-degree zones, 360-degree total\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003eFrequency response (150 Hz–16 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003e± 3 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003eBeamformed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003eSensitivity (94 dB SPL, 1 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u0026gt;
