Overview
The Biamp Parlé TCM-XA Black is a ceiling-mounted Beamtracking microphone built for Tesira systems, with a built-in two-channel PoE+ amplifier that can drive loudspeakers from the same device. Four 90-degree pickup zones follow active talkers across a room, and a single CAT5 cable links the microphone to its network box. Certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, it suits boardrooms, lecture halls and government meeting rooms across Doha and the wider country.
A ceiling microphone that tracks talkers and drives speakers
The Biamp Parlé TCM-XA Black is a ceiling-mounted Beamtracking microphone designed for Tesira systems. Its 5.9-inch (150 mm) housing is only 30 mm high, so it stays discreet in modern meeting rooms. Instead of someone aiming a pickup lobe at each speaker, the microphone monitors four 90-degree pickup zones and mixes whoever is talking. The same housing contains a two-channel PoE+ amplifier, so one ceiling device handles both audio capture and loudspeaker drive.
Specifications that matter when you plan
- Pickup: 16-element digital array with active beamforming, frequency response of 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB, and maximum SPL of 109 dB at under 1% THD.
- Amplifier: two Class D channels delivering burst power of 40 W per channel at 4 Ω or 30 W at 8 Ω, with continuous output of 8 W single-channel or 4 W dual-channel.
- Power and cabling: PoE to IEEE 802.3at Class 3 (15.4 W), one CAT5 link from the microphone to its network box, and up to 100 metres from the switch to the network box.
- Dimensions and weight: 172 mm wide, 132 mm deep, 30 mm high, weighing 680 g.
- Environment: ambient operating range of 0 to 40 °C, 0 to 95% relative humidity non-condensing, and altitude up to 3,000 metres.
Where it fits in Qatar
In an executive boardroom in West Bay, participants sit around one table while some join from offices abroad. The microphone captures speakers from different positions and works with Microsoft Teams and Zoom according to its certifications, so the room sounds consistent whichever platform the call uses.
In a lecture or seminar hall at Education City, presenters move while they speak. Beamtracking keeps the active talker in focus, and the optional TCM-XEX expansion microphone lets one network box serve a second microphone in a longer room.
In a government meeting room in Msheireb being fitted out under a tender, the TAA compliance, UL listing, CE marking and RoHS compliance give the procurement team documented evidence for the technical file.
What to plan before ordering
The UL 2043 plenum rating matters where the ceiling void carries air-handling air. The rated ambient range runs from 0 to 40 °C, while outdoor summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 °C, so install the device in air-conditioned rooms and ask your contractor to check void temperatures. Keep the network box within 100 metres of the switch and any TCM-XEX within 10 metres of that box. Confirm that the switch ports you plan to use support PoE+ to IEEE 802.3at.

What is the Biamp Parlé TCM-XA Black used for?
It is a ceiling microphone for conference rooms, boardrooms and lecture spaces that picks up speech from across the room and feeds it into a Tesira system. Its built-in two-channel PoE+ amplifier can also drive loudspeakers, so one ceiling device handles both capture and playback in rooms where people sit or move around during a session.
Which rooms in Qatar suit the TCM-XA Black best?
Rooms where several people speak from different positions, such as an executive boardroom in West Bay or a seminar room at Education City. Beamtracking follows the active talker across four 90-degree zones without manual aiming, so a presenter who walks toward the screen stays audible. The optional TCM-XEX adds a second microphone to the same network box for longer rooms.
How is the microphone powered and connected?
The microphone is powered over PoE, rated IEEE 802.3at Class 3 at 15.4 W, through a single CAT5 cable to its network box. The network box connects to the switch over an RJ-45 link that can run up to 100 metres. Before ordering, confirm that the switch ports in your comms cabinet support PoE+ so the device powers up from the cable.
Can one network box support more than one microphone?
Yes. The system supports one TCM-XEX expansion microphone, which gives up to two microphones per network box. The expansion microphone connects to the network box through an additional RJ-45 port, and the maximum distance between the network box and the TCM-XEX is 10 metres. Position the network box so both microphones stay within these limits from your switch and cable routes.
Is the TCM-XA Black compatible with Microsoft Teams and Zoom?
The product is certified for Microsoft Teams and is Zoom Certified, and it is listed as Cisco Verified. This matters for Qatari organisations that run one meeting platform for internal staff and another for partners abroad. Confirm the exact platform and version your organisation uses with your IT team before deployment, because certification lists can differ by platform.
What are the amplifier ratings?
The two-channel Class D amplifier delivers burst power of 40 W per channel at 4 Ω and 30 W at 8 Ω. Continuous output is 8 W when one channel is driven and 4 W when both channels are driven. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is below 0.3% at continuous power, the minimum operational load is 4 Ω, and selectable power modes and a built-in limiter help protect connected loudspeakers.
What operating conditions does the microphone tolerate?
The ambient operating range is 0 to 40 °C, with 0 to 95% relative humidity non-condensing and altitude up to 3,000 metres. These limits are well below Qatar's outdoor summer heat, which can exceed 45 °C, so install the device in air-conditioned rooms and check ceiling void temperatures with your contractor. The rated range does not cover outdoor or unconditioned spaces such as open atriums or covered car parks.
What are the physical dimensions and weight?
The housing measures 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter, 1.2 inches (30 mm) high, 6.8 inches (172 mm) wide and 5.2 inches (132 mm) deep, and weighs 1.5 lbs (680 g). The low profile suits suspended and modern ceilings. Measure the ceiling opening and void depth before ordering, and ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the mounting method for your ceiling construction.
Is it plenum rated and suitable for ceilings that carry air?
Yes, it is UL 2043 plenum rated. A plenum rating is what a ceiling void used for air circulation requires, which is relevant in larger buildings with central air-conditioning. Ask your mechanical contractor to confirm that void temperatures stay within the 0 to 40 °C operating range and that cable routes suit the plenum space.
How does the black model differ from the white version?
The white version is a separate model, 920-00499-20000, and its listing describes it as surface mount. The black model, 920-00499-10000, shares the same Beamtracking pickup, two-channel amplifier, PoE+ power and network box with the white. Choose the black finish when the room or ceiling palette is dark or when the design brief specifies black, and check the mounting type with the SmartRooms Qatar team.
Does it meet compliance requirements for government and tender projects?
The microphone is TAA compliant, carries CE and UL listed marks, is RoHS compliant and is UL 2043 plenum rated. Government ministries and authorities in Qatar often request documented compliance, so include these details in your technical submission. SmartRooms Qatar can prepare a quotation to suit Monaqasat tender requirements and accepts purchase orders (LPOs).
How do I request a quote and what happens next?
Send the room size, ceiling type, switch details and whether you need a TCM-XEX expansion microphone, then request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. Free site surveys are available before ceiling work starts, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. The product is covered by the manufacturer's 5-year warranty.
