Biamp 920-01869-00001 Parlé SBC 2

Product Overview

The Biamp Parlé SBC 2 is a high-fidelity conferencing speaker bar built for huddle rooms and small conference rooms that need clear, full-range playback for calls and content. This meeting room audio bar pairs two 4-inch woofers with two 1-inch tweeters to reproduce speech and program audio with clarity across the front of the room. With HDMI ARC, USB, Euroblock, and RCA inputs, the SBC 2 works as a flexible USB speaker bar for conferencing as well as a display audio bar. It is a straightforward audio upgrade for BYOM and soft-codec meeting spaces.

Product Description

The Parlé SBC 2 is a self-powered conferencing speaker bar that delivers room-filling audio without a separate amplifier. Two 4-inch treated paper low-frequency transducers and two 1-inch high-frequency transducers give it a balanced response for both conversational speech and video content, with a nominal 8-ohm design and 44.1/48 kHz sampling on its digital inputs. Four input options — HDMI ARC, USB, Euroblock, and RCA — let integrators connect a display, a room PC, a DSP, or a source device directly, so the bar adapts to a wide range of huddle room and small conference room signal flows.

Three built-in EQ presets — Music, Video Conference, and Presentation — are selectable on the rear of the bar, letting installers tune output to the primary use of the room, and wake-on-signal power management keeps the bar ready without manual intervention. A bi-directional RS-232 port allows integration with a room control system for power and source management. The SBC 2 can be table- or wall-mounted and runs on 100–240 VAC mains via an IEC C8 connector. As part of the Parlé family, it fits cleanly into audio designs alongside other products in the Biamp collection and pairs well with BYOM room hubs such as the EasyConnect MPX 250.
