Setup and Use
The Tesira software provides an intuitive interface for setup and programming
of the Parlé TTM-X and TTM-XEX. The information provided by this manual
relates to physical connections and device setup. For more details on software
setup, please consult the Tesira Help File.
Installation
Install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in
rooms with adequate ventilation. Ensure the air can circulate freely around the
unit. Do not exceed the maximum ambient operating temperature of 32°-104°F
(0-40°C) for the microphones and 32°-113°F (0°-45°C) for the network box.
Parlé TTM-X Microphone and Network Box
Parlé TTM-X - Table Microphone
The Parlé TTM-X is an AVB low-prole table microphone for use in Tersira
systems. Comprising a network box and a table microphone, each microphone
includes Beamtracking™ technology with four 90-degree zones, providing full
360-degree coverage of the meeting space. Each network box has its own
digital signal processing module and is equipped with an additional RJ-45
connector to add an optional TTM-XEX. A maximum of two microphones are
permitted per network box (one TTM-X with a TTM-XEX).
Parlé TTM-XEX - Expansion Table Microphone
The Parlé TTM-XEX is identical to the TTM-X microphone and is intended to be
used as a second microphone in conjunction with the TTM-X. The TTM-XEX is
not a standalone device.
Features
• Low-prole circular tabletop microphone that measures 4.7 inches (120
mm) in diameter
• Beamtracking technology actively tracks and intelligently mixes
conversations
• Beamtracking works out-of-box without any lobe aiming or room mapping
• LED mute status
• Network box includes DSP for Beamtracking
• Uses only one channel of AEC per microphone

Two RJ-45 ports allow for connecting one TTM-X microphone and an additional
TTM-XEX expander microphone. If using only one microphone, it must be
connected to the Mic 1 port. Use of the second RJ-45 port is optional.
2. Power/System Status Indicator
A multi-color LED provides information about the status of the device.

Mounting & Installation
General Mounting and Installation Notes
• The maximum distance between an Ethernet switch and a TTM-X network
box is 330 feet (100 meters).
• The maximum distance between a TTM-X microphone and network box is
33 feet (10 meters). The preattached cable length is 7 feet (2 meters), and
can be extended an additional 26 feet (8 meters) using standard Cat5e
cabling.
• The distance range between microphones is 5 - 8 feet (1.5 - 2.5 meters).
• The TTM-X and TTM-XEX microphones may be installed using the optional
TTM-X Secure Mount (TTM-X-SM). This installation axes the microphone
directly to the table while keeping the microphone cabling out of sight.
Installation Option - Network Box Mounting
The TTM-X network box is designed to be installed to the underside of a
tabletop with the included hardware. It can also be placed unattached on other
surfaces to meet design or room requirements.
Figure 3 Network Box Installation
Installation Option – Tabletop Mounting (no tools required)
1. Set the microphone on the table and route the cable over the table or
through a wiring feed-through to the network box.
2. Attach the TTM-X microphone connector into the RJ-45 socket on the face
of the network box.
