The Biamp Parle TCM-XA pairs an AVB low-profile ceiling microphone with a two-channel PoE+ amplifier for Tesira conferencing systems. The ceiling mic uses Beamtracking technology with four 90-degree zones for full 360-degree coverage, while the network box carries its own DSP module and an amplifier with burst mode, selectable power and an internal limiter, so a small meeting room’s mic and loudspeakers run from a single CAT cable. An additional RJ-45 connector accepts an optional TCM-XEX expansion microphone.
