Parlé DTM-XEX

What the Parlé DTM-XEX adds to a Devio UCX room

The Parlé DTM-XEX is an expansion tabletop microphone from Biamp, designed to work alongside Devio UCX meeting room systems. When a room needs more pickup points than the primary microphone can cover, this black unit extends coverage across the table, so remote participants hear people at the far end as clearly as those close to the main unit. This listing is the black finish; the white version carries its own item number.

Beamtracking coverage and audio performance

A 16-element digital array forms a beamformed pickup pattern split into four 90-degree zones, giving 360-degree pickup around the table. Beamtracking follows whoever is speaking as the conversation moves between seats, so the system needs no lobe aiming or room mapping before use. The specifications list sensitivity above 74 dB at 94 dB SPL and 1 kHz, a frequency response of 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB, a 90 dB A-weighted dynamic range, and a maximum SPL of 109 dB at 0.5% THD.

Cabling, power and integration

• Single CAT5 run: one cable carries both the audio signal and the power.
• RJ-45 connector: the specified cable length is 6.6 ft (2 m).
• AEC usage: each microphone uses one AEC channel, including when a DCM-XEX is daisy-chained.
• Distance limit: up to 33 ft (10 m) between the DTM-XEX and its DSP host device.

The microphone does not require a Tesira DSP platform, because its Beamtracking processing runs on the DSP built into the included network box.

Where it fits in Qatar

A boardroom in West Bay with a long table often has people seated at both ends, beyond the reach of a single microphone. A second DTM-XEX placed toward the far end keeps remote callers hearing the whole table. In a seminar room in Education City used for hybrid sessions, the same layout helps capture both presenters and students seated at the back. In a ministry meeting room in Msheireb, where calls connect Doha with teams abroad, the black finish suits modern conference spaces. The rated operating range is 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F), so install the microphone only in air-conditioned rooms, away from outdoor terraces and windows that receive direct summer sun.

What to plan before ordering

Measure the table, mark where the existing Devio UCX unit sits, and confirm the CAT5 route stays within the 10 m limit. At 18 mm high, 110 mm in diameter and 231 g, the unit is easy to position discreetly. Optional accessories include a secure mounting bracket (TTM-X-SM, part 910-00521) and a 16 mm black table grommet with a 7 mm inner diameter (part 920-00524-20000). SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, professional installation across Qatar, and quotations usually within one working day, with purchase orders and government tender paperwork accepted. The unit is TAA compliant and carries FCC Part 15B, CE, UL and C-UL, and RoHS certifications, and it is covered by the manufacturer's five-year warranty.
