Parlé TTM-X

What the Parlé TTM-X is and where it sits

The Biamp Parlé TTM-X is a black, low-profile tabletop microphone for Biamp Tesira conferencing systems. The microphone head is 110 mm (4.3 inches) across and 18 mm high, so it sits in front of participants without blocking sightlines or crowding the table. The separate network box, 106 mm wide and deep and 23 mm high, holds the onboard DSP and links the microphone to the rest of the system.

This design suits meeting rooms where a ceiling or wall microphone is impractical. Because it is a Tesira device, the audio plan should start with the full Tesira design rather than being added afterwards.

Beamtracking pickup and setup

Beamtracking follows talkers across four 90-degree zones and mixes voices automatically in real time, so pickup stays consistent as people speak in turn. There is no lobe aiming, manual configuration or room mapping at commissioning, which keeps setup short and reduces later adjustment.

The microphone uses a 16-element digital array with a beamformed polar pattern. The data rates its frequency response at 150 Hz to 16 kHz within ±3 dB, its dynamic range at 90 dB A-weighted (THD+N below 10%), and its maximum SPL at 109 dB at 0.5% THD.

Cabling, power and expansion

• A single CAT5 cable carries audio, control and DSP processing between the microphone and the network box.
• The network box is powered over PoE to IEEE 802.3at Class 3, rated at 15.4 W, so the switch port must provide that class.
• A green, yellow and red power LED on the network box shows its status.
• An RJ-45 port takes one TTM-XEX expansion microphone for longer tables.
• An LED mute status indicator gives participants clear feedback during live meetings.

Qatar scenarios where it earns its place

A boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb that hosts Teams calls with colleagues in Europe or Asia needs every speaker heard at the far end without people leaning toward a central unit. The TTM-X keeps the table clear while covering the whole seating area.

A government ministry in Doha buying audio for a meeting room can use the TAA compliance that the manufacturer lists for government projects. Public tenders, including Monaqasat, and LPO-based purchases are handled by SmartRooms Qatar.

A university seminar room in Education City, or a training room in Al Sadd where lecturers and students speak from one table, benefits from pickup that follows whoever is talking. An expansion microphone can be added when the table is longer.

Planning the install in a Qatar summer

The network box is rated for an ambient operating range of 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F), 0 to 95% relative humidity non-condensing, and altitudes up to 3,000 m. Summer outdoor temperatures in Qatar often pass 45°C, so the network box must sit inside the air-conditioned meeting room, away from windows and heat sources. Confirm the location during the free site survey.

Plan the table cut-out and cable route before installation day. The optional TTM-X-SM secure mounting bracket (part 910-00521) and a 16 mm table grommet with 7 mm ID (black part 920-00524-20000) are available as accessories. The manufacturer lists the microphone as UL 2043 plenum rated. SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all 8 municipalities of Qatar.
