Parlé CBC 2500 PM

A ceiling-hung audio bar for open rooms

Where walls and display surfaces are not practical, the Parlé CBC 2500 PM gives a room one suspended unit that houses microphones, loudspeakers and processing together. It suits open-plan floors, collaboration zones and high-ceiling meeting areas where a wall-mounted bar would take up valuable space or cannot be fixed. At 37 inches (940 mm) wide, 3.9 inches (100 mm) high and 2.5 inches (64 mm) deep, weighing 9.6 lbs (4.4 kg), it keeps a compact profile overhead.

Microphone, speaker and tuning features

Participants do not need handheld microphones. The 27-element digital array uses Beamtracking to follow whoever is speaking and blend voices as people move, with a pickup range beyond 23 feet (7 m). Acoustic echo cancellation and AI noise reduction work together to keep meetings free of feedback and background sound such as air-conditioning hum.

• Microphone: 27-element digital array, 48 kHz output, active beamformed pattern
• Loudspeakers: two 2.5-inch (60 mm) full-range drivers with dynamic bass enhancement
• Rated maximum SPL: 90 dB continuous and 96 dB peak at 1 m
• Tuning: Biamp Launch one-touch automated room tuning
• Mute status: green, red and off LEDs show microphone state

The loudspeakers have a nominal beamwidth of 180° by 180° and use distortion compensation, so speech and presentation audio stay clear across the room. Biamp Launch analyses and calibrates the room's audio performance, which helps teams achieve consistent results across several installations.

Where it fits in Qatar

An open-plan consulting office in West Bay can hang one unit above a central table so that Doha staff hear the whole room during Teams calls with colleagues abroad. In Education City, a training centre running hybrid sessions in a high-ceilinged room can use the bar to capture the instructor and students at the front while remote groups join on Zoom. A sales gallery in Lusail with a reception and open meeting zone can gain clear audio without giving up wall space for a display.

What to plan before ordering

• Check the ceiling structure and mounting height first. Full mounting specifications are in the manufacturer data sheet, so a site survey before fixing is sensible.
• The kit includes a ceiling mount assembly, bar mounting plate, three pipe lengths (6 inches, 1 foot and 2 feet), a bracket coupler and nut, four lag bolts, and 10 m USB and power cables.
• Power can come from USB-C rated at 60 W or from the external supply rated 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 12 VDC 4.74 A. That range covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains.
• The rated ambient range is 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F), with 0 to 90% non-condensing humidity. Outdoor summer heat in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so install the bar in air-conditioned rooms only.
• The bar is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
