MRB-M-VT4-T

What this Biamp medium room kit includes

The Biamp MRB-M-VT4-T is a pre-matched audio kit for conference rooms that seat up to 11 participants. Biamp has discontinued this model, so this page is written for organisations that already run it, buyers comparing options, and anyone who needs a current equivalent for an existing room. The kit brings together the processing, microphone, amplification and loudspeakers needed for one room, so the components are sourced as one package.

• Processing: one TesiraFORTE AVB VT4 processor and one TesiraCONNECT TC-5 connection device
• Conferencing interface: one Tesira EX-UBT UC interface
• Microphone: one Parlé TTM-X table microphone
• Amplification: one Tesira AMP-450BP PoE+ powered amplifier
• Loudspeakers: a pair of Desono C-IC6 ceiling speakers
• Cabling: three 25 ft (7.5 m) and three 10 ft (3 m) plenum Cat 5e cables, plus one 3 ft (0.9 m) Cat 5e cable

Platform certifications and what they mean in practice

The kit is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms and is listed as Microsoft certified in the manufacturer's solution data. It is also Cisco verified. For an IT manager, these listings mean the audio chain has been checked against two widely used meeting platforms, which narrows the testing needed before go-live. Confirm the exact software version your room runs with the SmartRooms Qatar team before you request a quote.

The Parlé TTM-X microphone has mute buttons with LEDs that sync with UC software, so the mute state shown at the table matches the meeting platform. A custom acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) function is built in to improve the experience for remote participants, and the audio stays clear when several people speak at once. Desono C-IC6 speakers are tuned for voice reproduction in conference rooms, which suits meeting audio rather than background sound.

Where this kit fits in Qatar

• A ministry meeting room in West Bay where officials join sessions with colleagues abroad and need speech that carries clearly from every seat.
• A training room at an engineering firm in Mesaieed or the Industrial Area, hosting supplier calls for up to 11 people with a ceiling-mounted audio system.
• A private school boardroom in Al Wakrah, where Arabic and English speakers take part in the same governing-body call.

Each scenario depends on room size. A room that seats 11 or fewer suits this kit. Larger rooms should be scoped separately, and the team can do that during a site survey.

Planning the installation

Ceiling speakers and plenum cabling are the parts that need the most planning. Before ordering, confirm the ceiling void, the cable route from the processor to the amplifier and each speaker, and the table position for the microphone. The bundle includes six plenum cables in 25 ft and 10 ft lengths, plus one short 3 ft cable, so measure the distances from the equipment rack to each device before deciding where it sits.

SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, and quotations are usually issued within one working day. Government and school buyers can pay by purchase order (LPO) or bank transfer, and the team can support government tender submissions, including Monaqasat. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and this kit is listed with a 5-year warranty.

Discontinued model: request a quote for a current equivalent

Because Biamp has discontinued the MRB-M-VT4-T, the most useful next step for most buyers is a quotation for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement. Send the room size, the meeting platform in use and a list of any existing devices, and request a quote for a current equivalent that fits the room.
