Overview

The Biamp Parlé DCM-XA Black is a ceiling microphone for Devio UCX meeting rooms, combining Beamtracking pickup with a built-in two-channel amplifier. Four 90-degree zones cover 360 degrees and mix active talkers automatically. A single CAT5 cable links it to its network box, and the amplifier drives loudspeakers over PoE+. The black low-profile housing suits dark ceilings, making it a good fit for boardrooms in West Bay and Doha.

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

The Biamp Parlé DCM-XA Black is a ceiling-mounted microphone with an integrated two-channel amplifier, built for Devio UCX meeting room systems. It combines two jobs that usually need separate equipment: picking up voices from the ceiling and driving room loudspeakers. The manufacturer states that it delivers microphone and amplification performance without needing a Tesira DSP platform, which keeps the design focused on the Devio UCX environment.

Beamtracking pickup from the ceiling

The DCM-XA uses a 16-element digital array with Beamtracking. Its four 90-degree zones provide 360-degree voice pickup, and the device mixes active talkers automatically, so there is no lobe aiming or room mapping during setup. The mute indicator shows a green or red LED. Frequency response is rated from 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB, which covers the speech range. At 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter and 1.2 inches (30 mm) high, the low-profile housing sits close to the ceiling.

Two-channel amplifier and cabling

The integrated amplifier has two Class D channels and is powered over PoE under IEEE 802.3at Class 3 at 15.4 W. Burst output is 40 W per channel into 4 Ω and 30 W into 8 Ω. Continuous output is 8 W with a single channel driven and 4 W with both channels driven, at either impedance. Built-in limiting and selectable power modes help protect the loudspeakers. The microphone connects to its network box through a single CAT5 cable, and the network box links to the switch over RJ-45 at up to 330 feet (100 m). An additional RJ-45 port takes a DCM-XEX expansion microphone, with up to two microphones per network box.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb, a ceiling microphone keeps the table clear for the executive team and avoids cables crossing the room. A government office meeting room where Arabic and English speakers take turns benefits from pickup that follows whoever is talking. For a team in Lusail connecting with colleagues abroad, the built-in amplifier lets room loudspeakers carry the far-end audio from a compact installation. Meeting rooms in hotels and serviced apartments in The Pearl can use the black finish, which blends into dark ceilings.

Planning the installation

Ceiling space: confirm the ceiling type, the space above the tiles and access before ordering.
Environment: the rated ambient range is 32 to 104 °F (0 to 40 °C) with 0 to 95% humidity, non-condensing. Keep the room air-conditioned and confirm conditions in the ceiling void with our team.
Network: place the switch within 330 feet (100 m) of the network box, and plan the DCM-XEX position if a second microphone is needed.
Loudspeakers: check that the speakers suit the continuous output of 8 W single-channel or 4 W dual-channel.

SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before ceiling work, professional installation across Qatar, and quotations usually within one working day.

Questions about Parlé DCM-XA

What is the Parlé DCM-XA Black used for?

It is a ceiling-mounted Beamtracking microphone with an integrated two-channel amplifier, built for Devio UCX meeting rooms. One unit picks up participants from the ceiling and drives room loudspeakers, which means fewer separate devices in the room. It suits rooms that need a clean, low-profile ceiling and a single device handling both microphone and amplifier duties.

Does the DCM-XA Black need a Tesira DSP platform?

No. The manufacturer states that the DCM-XA delivers microphone and amplification performance without needing a Tesira DSP platform, as it is built for Devio UCX meeting room systems. The network box includes onboard DSP, and the microphone is certified for Microsoft Teams. Tell us your Devio UCX version and room layout when requesting a quote so compatibility can be confirmed.

What is the difference between the Black and White versions?

The Black version is item number 920-00028-10000 and the White version is 920-00028-20000. The source specifications for both are the same, including the 5.9-inch (150 mm) diameter, the two-channel amplifier and the 0 to 40 °C operating range. Choose the Black version for dark ceilings, where the finish blends in, and confirm the item number on your quotation.

How does Beamtracking pick up people in a room?

The microphone uses a 16-element digital array with Beamtracking across four 90-degree zones, giving 360-degree voice pickup. It mixes active talkers automatically and does not require lobe aiming or room mapping during setup. Frequency response is rated from 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB, which covers the speech range of people seated around a table.

How much power does the integrated amplifier deliver?

Burst output is 40 W per channel into 4 Ω and 30 W into 8 Ω, measured per ANSI/CTA-2006-B at 1 kHz. Continuous output is 8 W with one channel driven and 4 W with both channels driven. The minimum operational load is 4 Ω, THD+N is below 0.3% at continuous power, and built-in limiting helps protect the loudspeakers. Check your speakers against these figures before requesting a quote.

How is it powered and how far can it run from the switch?

The unit is powered over PoE under IEEE 802.3at Class 3 at 15.4 W, and its power indicator shows green, yellow or red LED states. The network box connects to the switch over RJ-45 at up to 330 feet (100 m), while the microphone connects to the network box with a single CAT5 cable. Confirm switch ports and cable routes during the site survey so the run stays within the specified distance.

Can we add a second microphone to a large boardroom in West Bay?

Yes, using the DCM-XEX expansion microphone. The DCM-XA has an additional RJ-45 port for one DCM-XEX, and a single network box supports up to two microphones. The DCM-XEX can sit up to 33 feet (10 m) from the network box. For a large West Bay boardroom with a long table, request a site survey to position both microphones and the network box before ordering.

Will it cope with Doha's summer heat?

The rated ambient operating range is 32 to 104 °F (0 to 40 °C), with 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing, and altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3,000 m). Doha summers can exceed 45 °C, so the meeting room should be air-conditioned and conditions in the ceiling void should stay within the rated range. Our team can check these conditions during the free site survey before the unit is fixed.

Is it suitable for a boardroom with a dark ceiling in West Bay?

Yes. The surface-mount finish is black and the housing is low profile, 1.2 inches (30 mm) high and 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter, so it blends into dark ceilings. The unit weighs 1.5 lb (680 g). Before installation, check the ceiling type and access to the space above the tiles. Send your room plan and ceiling type with your quote request for a tailored proposal.

We run hybrid meetings between Lusail and teams abroad. Does it work with Microsoft Teams?

The manufacturer states that the DCM-XA is certified for Microsoft Teams, which supports dependable compatibility across enterprise communication systems. Because it is built for Devio UCX, confirm with the SmartRooms Qatar team that your room runs Devio UCX before ordering. Beamtracking pickup covers participants on both sides of the table, so the remote team hears people at either end of the room.

Is it rated for plenum ceilings and what certifications does it hold?

Yes. The unit is evaluated to UL 2043 and is suitable for use in air handling spaces, which matters where a ceiling void is used for air return. Listed certifications are FCC Part 15B, CE marking, UL and C-UL listing for the USA and Canada, RoHS compliance and TAA compliance. If a government tender on Monaqasat needs specific documents, tell us when requesting a quote and we will confirm what is available.

Our ministry office in Msheireb is ordering several meeting rooms. Can we order by LPO?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar. Each room needs its own microphone and network box, so list the number of rooms, the item number for each finish and any DCM-XEX units on your request. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and a free site survey is available before installation.
