Overview

The Biamp Parlé DCM-XEX White is a surface-mount expansion ceiling microphone for Devio UCX meeting systems. Its Beamtracking array covers four 90° zones, following talkers in larger or irregular rooms without manual aiming. It connects to a DCM-X or DCM-XA host over one CAT5 link and cannot run standalone. The white finish suits light ceilings in boardrooms and training rooms. Request a quote for supply and installation across Qatar.

What the Parlé DCM-XEX White adds to a Devio UCX room

The Parlé DCM-XEX White is an expansion ceiling microphone built for Devio UCX meeting room systems. It is not a standalone unit. It extends the pickup of a DCM-X or DCM-XA host, bringing ceiling-level audio capture to larger or more complex rooms while keeping the ceiling uncluttered. The white surface-mount finish suits light-coloured ceilings, where a discreet unit is easier to accept in a boardroom or training room.

Where a single host microphone leaves gaps in a long room, the DCM-XEX picks up participants at the far end. It works as part of a Parlé system and does not require a Tesira DSP platform, so the installation stays within the Devio UCX environment.

The specifications that shape the design

Beamtracking coverage: four 90° zones together cover a full 360° area, with active talkers mixed automatically and no manual lobe aiming.
Microphone array: a 16-element digital array with an active beamformed polar pattern and a frequency response of 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB.
Audio performance: SNR above 76 dB at 1 kHz, maximum SPL of 109 dB at below 1% THD, and a 92 dB A-weighted dynamic range.
Cabling: one CAT5 connection to the host's network box, an RJ-45 cable length of 6.6 feet (2 m), and a maximum of 33 feet (10 m) between the DCM-XEX and the DSP host device.
Channel use: one AEC channel per microphone, including when a TCM-XEX is daisy-chained.
Status indicator: a green and red LED that shows microphone mute state during meetings.

Ceiling, cabling and environment planning

The unit measures 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter and 0.7 inches (17 mm) high excluding the ceiling mount, and weighs 0.7 lbs (340 g). Before ordering, check the ceiling board type, the mount position relative to the host, and the cable route to the host's network box, staying within the 33-foot limit.

The DCM-XEX is UL 2043 plenum rated and evaluated as suitable for air handling spaces. Its ambient operating range is 0 to 40°C, with 0 to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) up to 3,000 m altitude. Ceiling voids in Qatar can run hot in summer, so ask your building services engineer to measure void temperature at the mount point and confirm it stays within 40°C.

Where it fits in Qatar

A 12-seat boardroom in West Bay where the existing host microphone misses participants at the far end of a long table.
A lecture or training room at Education City, where a ceiling microphone keeps lecterns and aisles free of desk units.
A government ministry meeting room in Msheireb whose design team wants a low-profile ceiling solution certified for Microsoft Teams.

Ordering for one room or several

Each DCM-XEX is an expansion unit, so quote the host and any Devio UCX components alongside it for each room. Free site surveys from SmartRooms Qatar let us check ceiling type, mount position and cable routing before installation. Schools and government projects can order through a purchase order (LPO) or a tender, and products are covered by the manufacturer's five-year warranty.

Questions about Parlé DCM-XEX

Is the DCM-XEX White the right microphone for a 14-seat meeting room in Al Sadd that already runs Devio UCX?

It can be, if the room is larger or has a layout the existing host microphone does not fully cover. The DCM-XEX is an expansion ceiling microphone, so it adds pickup to a DCM-X or DCM-XA host rather than replacing it. Ask your AV team first whether the host alone reaches the far seats. If it does, the expansion may not be needed, and SmartRooms Qatar can confirm this during a free site survey.

Can the DCM-XEX work on its own without a host microphone?

No. The manufacturer describes it as an expansion microphone that works only when paired with a DCM-X or DCM-XA. It connects to the host's network box over a single CAT5 link, and the maximum distance between the DCM-XEX and the DSP host device is 33 feet (10 meters). Confirm the host model and cable route before requesting a quote so the design includes every required part.

Does the DCM-XEX need a Tesira DSP platform?

No. The DCM-XEX is designed for Devio UCX systems and does not require a Tesira DSP platform. Its digital interface is custom/proprietary, so the design should stay within the Parlé host ecosystem. If your room already uses Tesira for other audio processing, discuss the integration path with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

How does Beamtracking coverage work in a larger room?

Beamtracking uses four 90° zones that together cover a full 360° area, and it follows the active talker automatically without manual lobe aiming. Participants do not need to sit close to a microphone. The 16-element digital array has a frequency response of 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB, and SNR above 76 dB at 1 kHz. Test the mount position during the site survey to confirm speakers at the far end are picked up clearly.

How much ceiling space and cable do I need to plan for?

The unit is 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter and 0.7 inches (17 mm) high excluding the ceiling mount, and weighs 0.7 lbs (340 g). Plan one CAT5 run from the mount point to the host's network box, within the 33-foot (10-meter) limit. The listed RJ-45 cable length is 6.6 feet (2 meters), so check whether that reaches your host or whether a longer run is needed. A free site survey confirms the route before installation.

Our Lusail office ceiling void gets very hot in summer. Will the DCM-XEX cope?

The rated ambient operating range is 0 to 40°C, with 0 to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) and altitudes up to 3,000 m. Qatar summers are very hot, and ceiling voids can be warmer than the room below. Before ordering, ask your building engineer to measure the void temperature at the mount point and confirm it stays within 40°C. SmartRooms Qatar can review this during the free site survey.

Is the DCM-XEX certified for Microsoft Teams?

Yes. The manufacturer lists the DCM-XEX as certified for Microsoft Teams, which suits rooms that take Teams calls with colleagues abroad. The certification applies to the Devio UCX setup as the manufacturer describes it, so confirm the exact host configuration with SmartRooms Qatar when you request a quote.

How does the mute indicator work?

The unit has a green and red mute LED that reflects the microphone's state during meetings, so participants can see at a glance whether the room is live. Choose a mount position where the indicator is visible from the usual seating positions, and check this during the site survey before the ceiling is cut or drilled.

We are fitting out a 12-seat boardroom in West Bay with light ceiling tiles. Does the white finish suit it?

The White model has a white surface-mount finish, which suits light ceiling tiles. It measures 5.9 inches across and 0.7 inches high excluding the mount, so it takes up no space on the table. Check the ceiling material and mount position during the site survey, and ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm colour against your ceiling samples before ordering.

Can a training centre in Education City order several DCM-XEX units under one purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and delivers to all 8 municipalities of Qatar. Each unit is an expansion microphone, so each room needs its own host and layout. The quotation should list the host, cable route and mount point for every room so the purchase order matches the installation plan.

Which compliance listings does the DCM-XEX White carry for a government tender in Msheireb?

The source data lists FCC Part 15B, CE marking, UL and C-UL listing for the USA and Canada, RoHS compliance and TAA compliance. It is also evaluated to UL 2043 and suitable for air handling spaces. SmartRooms Qatar supplies government tenders, including those on Monaqasat, so compare these listings with the tender requirements before submitting your bid.

What warranty comes with the DCM-XEX White?

The manufacturer states a five-year warranty for this unit, and products supplied by SmartRooms Qatar are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm how the warranty applies to your order when you request a quote, especially if you are ordering several rooms at once.
