Product Overview
The Biamp Parle TCM-1A is an AVB Beamtracking pendant ceiling microphone with an integrated PoE+ amplifier, for Tesira conferencing systems. As a pendant beamforming microphone with on-board amplification for conference rooms and huddle rooms, it provides 360-degree coverage and drives loudspeakers without a separate amplifier.
Product Description
The Parle TCM-1A is an AVB ceiling microphone and PoE+ amplifier comprising a pendant microphone and plenum box. Each microphone includes Beamtracking technology with three 120-degree zones, providing full 360-degree coverage of the meeting space. The plenum box has an additional RJ-45 connector for daisy-chain connections; a maximum of three microphones are permitted per daisy chain (one TCM-1 or TCM-1A required, plus up to two TCM-1EX). The integrated 2-channel PoE+ amplifier provides 4W continuous per channel with a burst mode that supports up to 40W (4 ohm) or 30W (8 ohm) per channel, an internal limiter, and software-selectable power versus channel count. The pendant is supplied in white.
