The Parlé TCM-XA is an AVB low-profile ceiling microphone and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 4, 30W) amplifier 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. Each network box has its own digital signal processing module and comes with an additional RJ-45 connector to add an optional TCM-XEX. A maximum of two microphones are permitted per network box (one TCM-X or TCM-XA with TCM-XEX). The 2-channel PoE+ amplifier includes an internal limiter, selectable power, and a burst mode to handle peak signals.
FEATURES
• Low profile circular ceiling microphone that measures 5.90
inches (150 mm) in diameter
• Mounts directly to the ceiling to virtually disappear in room
• Beamtracking technology actively tracks and intelligently
mixes conversations
• Four 90-degree zones for full 360-degree room coverage
• Network box includes DSP for Beamtracking and a
PoE+ amplifier
• Two channels
• Burst mode to handle peak signals in accordance with
ANSI/CTA-2006-B; supports up to 40 watts (4Ω load) or
30 watts (8Ω load) per channel
• Software-selectable power vs. channel count
• Includes internal limiter function
• Uses only one channel of AEC per microphone
• Single cable connection via category cable
• Beamtracking technology works out-of-box without any
lobe aiming or room mapping
• LED mute status indicator
• Available in either black or white
• Evaluated to the requirements of UL 2043 and is suitable
for use in air handling spaces
• Additional RJ-45 on network box for connection to a
TCM-XEX microphone
• CE marked, UL listed, and RoHS compliant
• Covered by Biamp Systems’ five-year warranty
