Product Description
Key Features
• Plenum box includes DSP for Beamtracking and a PoE+ amplifier
• Three 120-degree zones for 360 degrees of coverage
• Pendant microphone available in either white or black
• Additional RJ-45 for daisy-chained connection to an additional microphone
• Beamtracking technology actively tracks and intelligently mixes conversations
The Parlé TCM-1A is an AVB ceiling microphone and PoE+ amplifier comprised of a pendant microphone and plenum box. Each microphone includes Beamtracking technology with three 120-degree zones, providing full 360-degree coverage of the meeting space. The plenum box is equipped with an additional RJ-45 connector for daisy-chain connections; a maximum of three microphones are permitted per daisy chain (one TCM-1 or TCM-1A required, plus up to two TCM-1EX). The 2-channel PoE+ amplifier includes an internal limiter, selectable power, and a burst mode to handle peak signals.
