Overview
The Biamp Parlé TCM-X White is a low-profile, surface-mount AVB ceiling microphone with Beamtracking, measuring 5.9 inches (150 mm) across. A single CAT5 cable links it to a network box with onboard DSP, it is powered over PoE, and it uses one AEC channel per microphone on Tesira systems. It suits boardrooms and meeting rooms in Doha, Lusail and West Bay where the ceiling must stay clean.
A low-profile white ceiling microphone for clean meeting rooms
The Biamp Parlé TCM-X White is a surface-mount AVB ceiling microphone finished in white, designed for rooms where the ceiling should stay uncluttered. The round housing is 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter and 1.2 inches (30 mm) high, and the unit weighs 1.4 lb (625 g). Optional kits cover drywall and flush mounting, so the installer can match the fixing to the ceiling on site.
How Beamtracking and Tesira keep the channel count low
Beamtracking uses a 16-element digital array with an active beamformed polar pattern. The microphone follows up to four people speaking at the same time across four 90-degree zones, so participants can talk naturally without anyone aiming a lobe or tuning the room. The listed figures include a signal-to-noise ratio above 76 dB, a frequency response of 150 Hz to 16 kHz within plus or minus 3 dB, a dynamic range of 92 dB and a sound pressure level of 109 dB at under 1 percent THD.
On a Tesira system, each microphone uses only one AEC channel, which keeps DSP planning predictable for a boardroom with several seats. Because the network box contains onboard DSP, a separate external processor is not needed for this unit.
Cabling, PoE and the network box
- The network box connects to the switch with one CAT5 cable, up to 100 m (330 feet) away.
- The microphone connects to the network box by RJ-45 with a 2 m (6.6 ft) cable.
- Power is supplied over PoE, IEEE 802.3at Class 3, 15.4 W.
- A TCM-XEX expansion microphone can attach to the same network box, up to 10 m (33 feet) away, for two microphones per box.
Where it fits across Qatar
In a ministry boardroom in Msheireb or a corporate meeting room in West Bay, the white finish suits a ceiling that is visible from the table. For a seminar room at a university in Education City, the expansion option lets a second microphone cover the rear rows. The listed operating range is 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) with 0 to 95 percent humidity, non-condensing, so the unit belongs in air-conditioned rooms rather than spaces without cooling, where Doha summer heat can exceed 45 °C.
Planning the ceiling and the order
The listed ceiling height is up to 10 ft (about 3 m). Before ordering, check whether the ceiling is drywall or plenum, and where the network box can sit in the void. The unit is evaluated to UL 2043 and is listed as suitable for air handling spaces. Optional items include a 12x12 plenum box, a tile bridge, a drywall attachment, a flush mount kit, an installation tool and pre-terminated plenum CAT5e cables in 10 ft and 25 ft lengths. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey for this kind of planning, and the product carries the manufacturer's 5-year warranty.

4 files from the manufacturerQuestions about Parlé TCM-X
What is the Parlé TCM-X White best suited for?
It is a ceiling microphone for meeting rooms where several people speak from different seats and the ceiling should stay uncluttered. A boardroom in West Bay or a government meeting room in Msheireb is a typical fit, because Beamtracking follows active talkers without manual lobe setup or room mapping.
Which item number is the white version?
The white model is item 920-00498-20000. The black version is listed separately as item 920-00498-10000, so check the item number on your quotation before ordering. Both colours use the same Beamtracking microphone design, and the white item carries its own listed specifications.
How many people can it pick up at once?
It tracks up to four simultaneous talkers across four 90-degree zones, which together cover the full 360 degrees around the unit. The listed ceiling height is up to 10 ft (about 3 m). For taller rooms, ask SmartRooms Qatar to check the layout during your site survey before you order.
Does it need an external DSP or processor?
No. The network box has onboard DSP and connects to the switch with one CAT5 cable that carries audio and control. Removing the external processor simplifies the rack, and each microphone uses only one AEC channel on Tesira systems, which helps with channel planning for a boardroom.
How far can the microphone run from the switch?
The network box can be up to 100 m (330 feet) from the switch. The microphone connects to the network box with a 2 m (6.6 ft) RJ-45 cable. Plan the network box location inside the ceiling void near the room data cabling so the runs stay within these limits.
Can I add a second microphone to a large room?
Yes. A TCM-XEX expansion microphone connects to the network box by RJ-45, up to 10 m (33 feet) away, and each network box supports up to two microphones. This suits a long seminar room in Education City where one microphone cannot cover the back rows of seating.
Is it suitable for ceilings with plenum spaces?
The unit is evaluated to UL 2043 and is listed as suitable for use in air handling spaces. Optional kits include a 12x12 plenum box, a tile bridge for plenum boxes and a drywall attachment, so the installer can match the fixing to your ceiling type on site.
Will the heat in Doha affect it?
The listed ambient operating range is 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F), with humidity from 0 to 95 percent non-condensing. Outside temperatures in Doha summers can exceed 45 °C, so the room and ceiling void must be properly air-conditioned. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the environment during your site survey.
Is it certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom?
The Parlé TCM-X family is listed with Microsoft and Zoom certification, but the white item's listing on the data sheet we hold shows TAA compliance only under certified solutions. Ask us to confirm platform certification for item 920-00498-20000 in your quotation before committing to a Teams or Zoom rollout.
Is it TAA compliant and what warranty applies?
Yes, the listing confirms TAA compliance, which matters for government and some education tenders. It is also listed as FCC Part 15B, CE, UL and C-UL, and RoHS. The manufacturer backs the Parlé TCM-X with a 5-year warranty, and SmartRooms Qatar supplies it under that warranty with quotations usually returned within one working day.
What installation accessories might I need?
Depending on the ceiling, you may need a plenum box, a tile bridge, a TCM-X-DK drywall attachment or a TCM-X-FM flush mount kit. Pre-terminated plenum-rated CAT5e cables in 10 ft and 25 ft lengths, a hole saw installation tool and a seismic cable adapter are also available as options.
We are fitting out several classrooms at a school in Al Wakrah. What should we prepare?
Send the room drawings, ceiling type and number of rooms with your request. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to confirm network box position, cable routes and mounting for each room. Schools ordering several units can raise a purchase order (LPO), and a quotation is usually returned within one working day.
