Product Overview
The Biamp Parle TCM-X is an AVB low-profile ceiling microphone with Beamtracking technology for Tesira conferencing systems. As an unobtrusive ceiling-mounted beamforming microphone for conference rooms and huddle rooms, it provides full 360-degree coverage for clear far-end audio in meeting spaces with 10-foot or lower ceilings.
Product Description
The Parle TCM-X is an AVB low-profile ceiling microphone for use in Tesira systems, comprising a network box and a ceiling microphone. Each microphone includes Beamtracking technology with four 90-degree zones, providing full 360-degree coverage of the meeting space. The TCM-X delivers the same level of performance as other Beamtracking microphones in a sleek design that mounts directly to the ceiling. It actively tracks and intelligently mixes conversations from around the table so far-end participants experience the conversation naturally. Each network box has its own DSP module and an additional RJ-45 connector for an optional TCM-XEX, with a maximum of two microphones per network box. This model is supplied in white and is well suited to rooms with 10-foot or lower ceilings.
