PARLÉ™ TCM-1EX
EXPANSION AVB BEAMTRACKING™ PENDANT MICROPHONE
The Parlé™ TCM-1EX is an expansion AVB pendant microphone for use in Tesira® systems. Comprising 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 TCM-1EX microphone
actively tracks and intelligently mixes conversations from around the table, allowing far-end conference
participants to experience the conversation naturally. The Parlé TCM-1EX is intended to be used as a second
and third microphone in conjunction with a TCM-1 or TCM-1A; it cannot operate as a standalone device. Each
plenum box comes 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
TCM-1EX is well suited for a variety of room types and sizes that require high-quality audio solutions, such as
conference rooms or council chambers.
