Biamp 920-01996-00001 Parlé CBC 2500 PM

Product Overview

The Biamp Parle CBC 2500 PM is a ceiling pole-mounted, all-in-one conferencing audio bar for collaboration spaces where wall mounting is difficult. Its single-point pole-mount design suspends the bar cleanly from an open-plan ceiling, combining a 27-element beamtracking microphone array with two low-distortion speakers. Built for soft-codec conferencing in meeting rooms and boardrooms, it integrates acoustic echo cancellation and AI noise reduction for clear, hands-free voice pickup. The CBC 2500 PM is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom and connects over a single USB-C cable.

Product Description

The Parle CBC 2500 PM shares the conferencing bar electronics of the CBC 2500 family while offering a single-point pole mount, giving integrators an elegant installation option that minimizes visual clutter in rooms with open ceilings. Its 27-element digital microphone array uses Biamp Beamtracking technology to actively track and intelligently mix conversation from around the room, working in conjunction with acoustic echo cancellation to keep the far-end signal clean. An AI noise reduction algorithm reduces distracting background sound, while two smart speakers use distortion compensation and dynamic bass enhancement to deliver room-filling, intelligible speech. The pole-mount assembly uses a single mounting point, which simplifies the overhead installation compared with a two-cable hang while maintaining audio reach across the table. A single USB-C connection carries audio to a room PC or soft-codec appliance, and the bar can draw power over USB-C or its external power supply. Biamp Launch automated tuning optimizes the audio to each unique conferencing space after installation, and a mute-status LED provides clear visual feedback. For rooms better suited to a two-cable ceiling hang, the companion model is the Parle CBC 2500 CM; explore related conferencing hardware in the Biamp collection at Creation Networks.
