Overview

The Biamp Parlé DCM-X Black is a Beamtracking ceiling microphone made for Devio UCX meeting room systems, with a black surface-mount finish. Its 16-element digital array follows active talkers across four 90° zones. It suits boardrooms and meeting rooms in Qatar with ceilings up to 10 ft (about 3 m), and SmartRooms Qatar can quote it with a site survey.

What the Parlé DCM-X Black does in a meeting room

The Parlé DCM-X Black (item 920-00027-10000) is a ceiling microphone built specifically for Devio UCX meeting room systems. It mounts flush to the ceiling as a low-profile unit, which keeps the table and walls uncluttered while it picks up speech from above the table. Beamtracking follows whoever is talking, so participants do not need to lean toward a fixed microphone or wait for a handheld unit to be passed around the table.

Pickup, power and cabling that matter in planning

The microphone uses a 16-element digital array with active beamforming. Four 90° zones provide 360° coverage, and active talkers are mixed automatically without manual aiming or room mapping. The data lists a signal-to-noise ratio above 76 dB, a frequency response of 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB, a dynamic range of 92 dB and a sound pressure level of 109 dB at under 1% THD. The system uses one AEC channel per microphone. The unit is Microsoft Teams Certified and TAA compliant, and it is listed as FCC Part 15B, CE marked, UL and C-UL listed and RoHS compliant. It is also evaluated to UL 2043 and is suitable for use in air handling spaces.

Power: PoE under IEEE 802.3at Class 3, rated at 15.4 W.
Connection: a 2 m RJ-45 cable links the microphone to the network box, which connects to the switch over a single CAT5 link up to 100 m away.
Expansion: an additional RJ-45 port on the network box takes one DCM-XEX expansion microphone up to 10 m away, with up to two microphones per network box.
Indicator: a green and red LED on the microphone shows mute status.

Where it fits in Qatar

Picture a boardroom in a West Bay office tower where executives join calls with teams abroad. A ceiling mount keeps the table clear for documents and laptops, and the mute LED shows the room at a glance who is live before anyone speaks.

A ministry meeting room in Msheireb, a training room at Education City or a conference room in a Lusail serviced apartment development all share the same question: will the ceiling suit the unit? The rated ceiling height is up to 10 ft (about 3 m), which fits standard-height rooms. Taller halls and atriums need a check first.

Heat matters in Qatar. The rated ambient operating range is 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C), with humidity from 0 to 95% relative. Summer temperatures outside regularly exceed 45°C, so this microphone belongs in air-conditioned meeting rooms, not in spaces that run hot.

What to plan before installation

Confirm the ceiling height is up to 10 ft (about 3 m).
Plan the cable route from the switch to the network box, then to the microphone.
Choose the mounting option from the listed accessories, such as plenum boxes, a tile bridge, a flush mount kit or a drywall attachment.
Check that the switch supplies IEEE 802.3at power.

SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before installation, so the ceiling type and cable route are checked first. Request a quote for the Parlé DCM-X Black, and the quotation will confirm the accessories and cabling you need, usually within one working day.

Questions about Parlé DCM-X

What is the Parlé DCM-X Black used for?

It is a ceiling microphone for Devio UCX meeting room systems, picking up speech from above the table during conference calls. Beamtracking follows active talkers across four 90° zones, giving 360° coverage without manual aiming. It suits meeting rooms, boardrooms and seminar rooms in Qatar where people move around the table or join calls with teams in other countries.

Does the DCM-X work with systems other than Devio UCX?

Biamp designs the DCM-X specifically for Devio UCX meeting room systems, and it does not require a Tesira DSP platform. If your room runs a different conferencing platform, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm compatibility before you request a quote rather than assuming it will connect and work.

What is the difference between the Black and White versions?

The Black model is item number 920-00027-10000, while the White model is 920-00027-20000. Both share the same dimensions, PoE power, audio specifications and accessories, so the choice comes down to finish. Choose the black version for dark ceilings or modern room finishes it is designed to blend into, and quote using the item number.

How big is the microphone and how much does it weigh?

The unit is 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter and 1.2 inches (30 mm) high, with a width of 6.8 inches (172 mm) and a depth of 5.2 inches (132 mm). It weighs 1.4 lbs (625 g). Its low profile suits offices in Doha and Lusail where facilities teams want the table area kept clear of visible equipment.

Does the microphone need its own power supply?

No separate power supply is listed. The DCM-X is powered over the network cable using PoE under IEEE 802.3at Class 3, rated at 15.4 W. Before ordering, confirm the switch feeding the network box supports 802.3at, so power, audio and control all travel over the same CAT5 link.

Can it be installed in a hot, dusty room in Doha?

The rated ambient operating range is 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C), with humidity from 0 to 95% relative. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so the microphone should sit in air-conditioned meeting rooms rather than spaces that run hot. If a room is unusually warm or dusty, ask SmartRooms Qatar to review the location during the site survey.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The source rates it for ceiling heights up to 10 ft (about 3 m), which fits standard-height meeting rooms such as an office meeting room in Al Sadd or a training room in Education City. Taller halls, atriums and lecture spaces need checking before you order. A free SmartRooms Qatar site survey confirms the actual height on site.

Can I add a second microphone for a long boardroom table?

Yes. The network box has an extra RJ-45 port for one DCM-XEX expansion microphone, with up to two microphones per network box. The expansion microphone can sit up to 33 ft (10 m) from the DCM-X network box. This suits a long executive boardroom in Lusail or West Bay where one pickup point may not reach the far end of the table.

How does the mute indicator work?

The microphone has a green and red LED mute status indicator, so participants can see at a glance whether it is live. This helps in hybrid meetings where a team in Doha shares a room while colleagues join from abroad, and the presenter needs to confirm who can be heard before speaking.

What certifications does the DCM-X hold?

The DCM-X is Microsoft Teams Certified and TAA compliant. It is listed as FCC Part 15B, CE marked, UL and C-UL listed and RoHS compliant. It is also evaluated to UL 2043 and is suitable for use in air handling spaces. Procurement teams comparing offers for government tenders or public projects in Qatar can use these listings to check requirements.

What warranty comes with the Parlé DCM-X Black?

The Parlé DCM-X is backed by a comprehensive five-year warranty from the manufacturer. SmartRooms Qatar supplies the unit with that manufacturer warranty. When requesting a quote, include item number 920-00027-10000 and list any optional plenum boxes or cables, so the warranty and accessories appear on the same document.

Can SmartRooms Qatar supply and install this for several rooms on an LPO?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders including Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Delivery covers all 8 municipalities of Qatar, professional installation is available, and a free site survey checks ceiling type and cable routes before a school or ministry commits to several Parlé DCM-X units.
