Beamtracking coverage for conversations around the table

The Black Parlé TCM-X is a surface-mount ceiling microphone built around Beamtracking. Its 16-element digital array uses active beamforming to divide the room into four 90-degree zones and follow up to four people speaking at once, mixing their voices without lobe aiming or room mapping. Each unit measures 5.9 inches (150 mm) across and stands 1.2 inches (30 mm) tall, so it stays visually quiet in a boardroom.

Network box, cabling and channel use

The microphone connects to its network box over a 6.6-foot (2-meter) RJ-45 cable, and the network box runs to the switch on a single CAT5 link. The box carries onboard DSP, so the system needs no external processor. Each microphone uses one AEC channel on a Tesira-based system. A TCM-XEX expansion microphone attaches through an additional RJ-45 port, with up to two microphones per network box. The switch-to-box run can reach 330 feet (100 meters), and the box-to-expansion run can reach 33 feet (10 meters).

Where the Black model fits in Qatar

In a boardroom in West Bay or Mesaieed, where a management team joins Microsoft Teams or Zoom calls with colleagues abroad, the ceiling microphone keeps speech clear across the table without taking up floor or table space. In a seminar room at Education City, the same unit can cover a central table where the presenter moves between seats, because the four zones track whichever voices are active.

The product is positioned for standard-height rooms with ceilings up to 10 feet (about 3 meters). For taller spaces or tiered rooms, ask SmartRooms Qatar to review the layout before confirming quantities.

What to plan before installation

Confirm the ceiling type and the depth of the void before ordering. Optional accessories include a 12x12 Chicago-compliant plenum box, a TB-1 tile bridge for tile ceilings, a TCM-X-DK plenum attachment for drywall ceilings, a TCM-X-FM flush mount kit and a hole saw installation tool. Pre-terminated plenum-rated C5E-10-P and C5E-25-P cables are available in 10-foot and 25-foot lengths. Because the rated ambient range tops out at 40°C, the free site survey is the right time to check conditions inside the ceiling void, particularly under roofs that receive direct sun.

Questions about Parlé TCM-X

What is the Biamp Parlé TCM-X Black and who is it for?

It is a black, surface-mount ceiling microphone for meeting and conference rooms, built around Beamtracking and designed for Tesira-based AV systems. It suits boardrooms, executive offices and training rooms where the table should stay clear of hardware. Its 5.9-inch (150 mm) housing keeps the ceiling discreet. SmartRooms Qatar can quote it together with the cabling and plenum accessories your ceiling build requires.

How does Beamtracking handle several people talking at once?

Beamtracking divides the room into four 90-degree zones and continuously tracks up to four simultaneous talkers, mixing active voices without lobe aiming, manual configuration or room mapping. For a seven-person boardroom table in Doha, people at opposite ends can speak without leaning toward a central device. The 16-element digital array uses active beamforming, and the rated frequency response runs from 150 Hz to 16 kHz within plus or minus 3 dB.

Is the TCM-X suitable for a boardroom in West Bay with a standard ceiling?

Yes, provided the ceiling is standard height. The product is positioned for meeting spaces with ceilings up to 10 feet (about 3 meters), which matches many executive meeting rooms in West Bay and Lusail office towers. Each unit is only 1.2 inches (30 mm) tall, so it sits close to the ceiling finish. For double-height rooms or large halls, have the layout reviewed before ordering.

Do I need a separate DSP or mixer to use the TCM-X?

No. The included network box has onboard DSP and connects to the microphone over RJ-45 cabling. It links to the switch with a single CAT5 cable, so the audio, control and processing path runs without an external processor. Each microphone uses one AEC channel on a Tesira-based system. Your integrator should still confirm the Tesira configuration and switch ports during the quotation stage.

How many TCM-X microphones can one network box support, and how far can they run?

One network box supports up to two microphones: the TCM-X itself and one TCM-XEX expansion microphone connected through the additional RJ-45 port. The switch-to-network-box run can extend to 330 feet (100 meters), and the network box to TCM-XEX run can reach 33 feet (10 meters). The microphone connects to its box with a 6.6-foot (2-meter) RJ-45 cable. Plan these distances when deciding where the network box sits in the ceiling void.

Will the TCM-X work for Teams and Zoom meetings from a Lusail office?

The TCM-X is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, which covers video calls held from a Lusail office with colleagues in Doha or abroad. Certification confirms platform compatibility, but the room still needs a suitable conferencing codec or PC, camera and display. SmartRooms Qatar can quote matching video conferencing equipment on the same order, so the room is specified as one system.

What temperature and humidity limits apply in a ceiling void in a Doha summer?

The TCM-X has an ambient operating range of 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C) and a relative humidity range of 0 to 95%. Qatar summers can push ceiling voids above that range, especially under roofs with weak insulation or near plant rooms. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to check ceiling conditions during the free site survey before the unit is fixed in place.

How does the Black model differ from the White Parlé TCM-X?

The two models share the same 5.9-inch (150 mm) housing, PoE power, 16-element digital array, 109 dB SPL and 92 dB dynamic range. The Black model (920-00498-10000) is listed for Meeting and Conference AV, while the White model (920-00498-20000) is listed for Business Audio. Choose the finish that matches your ceiling and the application you plan for the room.

Which accessories do I need for a drywall or tile ceiling in a Msheireb fit-out?

For drywall ceilings, the TCM-X-DK plenum attachment is the matching accessory. For tile ceilings, the TB-1 tile bridge works with the TCM plenum boxes, and a 12x12 Chicago-compliant plenum box is listed as an option. The TCM-X-FM flush mount kit suits a flush finish, and the optional installation tool includes a hole saw and driver. Pre-terminated plenum-rated C5E-10-P or C5E-25-P cables come in 10-foot and 25-foot lengths.

Can an Education City seminar room use the TCM-X for a central table?

A standard-height seminar room with a central table is a good fit. The four 90-degree zones track up to four active talkers, so a presenter moving between seats can be picked up without passing a handheld microphone around. The mute indicator on the microphone gives the room a visible status light during sessions. For a lecture hall with tiered seating or a higher ceiling, ask SmartRooms Qatar to review the layout first.

Can a government ministry or university order the TCM-X through an LPO or tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies against purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quote the item number 920-00498-10000 for the black model so the quotation matches your tender line. If your procurement requires a TAA-compliant product, state that in the specification. Quotations usually come within one working day.

What warranty comes with the TCM-X?

The manufacturer backs the Parlé TCM-X with a 5-year warranty, and SmartRooms Qatar supplies it with that manufacturer warranty. Warranty terms beyond the duration are not listed in the product data used for this page, so ask for the manufacturer's written warranty statement with your quotation. Keep the item number 920-00498-10000 and the purchase documents with your asset register for the room.
