The Biamp Parlé TCM-1EX is an expansion pendant microphone designed to extend the coverage of a main Parlé system. Featuring an 8-element digital array and beamformed tracking, it supports up to three units in a daisy chain. Smart-Boards supplies this device for video conferencing deployments across the GCC and Africa.
This black expansion unit connects via RJ-45 to a compatible main pendant microphone, allowing flexible room configurations. It utilizes beamtracking technology to intelligently mix conversations within its three 120-degree zones, providing comprehensive 360-degree pickup. The device weighs 0.2 kg and requires a primary TCM-1 or TCM-1A microphone to function, making it ideal for scaling existing setups.
Built for durability and safety, the TCM-1EX is UL 2043 evaluated for use in air-handling spaces and holds TAA compliance. It features a dynamic range of 92 dB and sensitivity greater than 70 dB. Smart-Boards offers this product with a 5-year warranty, providing on-site installation in the UAE and delivery-ready units for other GCC and African countries.
