Biamp Launches Parlé Audio and Videoconference Soundbars

November 5 2021, 00:45
Biamp announced the launch of its Parlé audio and videoconferencing bars, a line of professional-grade audiovisual conferencing soundbars, designed to be complete solutions for small to medium-sized rooms. The conferencing bars combine Beamtracking microphones, smart loudspeakers, advanced signal processing, an optional 4K camera with auto-framing, and Biamp Launch, the company's automated deployment and tuning technology, into one plug-and-play speaker bar that delivers a premium conferencing experience.
 

Leveraging the company's 40 years of audiovisual expertise, Biamp's Parlé Conferencing Bars provide professional-grade performance at a competitive price, offering a suite of innovative AV technologies in one plug-and-play solution.

"The explosion of unified communications deployments across businesses of all sizes has made it essential that all conference rooms are outfitted with high-quality audiovisual technology to ensure the best experience for users — and IT departments are seeking complete meeting room solutions that are easy to set up and simple to use," says Joe Andrulis, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Biamp. "Parlé conferencing bars are groundbreaking in that they incorporate all of Biamp's latest innovations in audiovisual technology, ensuring the best possible meeting experience for all participants, as well as an incredibly simple set up process that's as easy as plugging in one cable and pressing the Launch button. The result is a sleek, all-in-one conferencing bar, offering professional-grade performance unmatched in the market."

The family of Parlé conferencing bars includes the ABC 2500 Audio Bar (they could have just called it Soundbar), which features Biamp Audio Intelligence to create a premium audio experience: a 27-element microphone array creates three Beamtracking zones that can actively track and intelligently mix conversations from around the room; award-winning echo cancellation and noise reduction algorithms provide extraordinary clarity and quality; and smart speaker technology actively adjusts speaker performance to deliver large room audio from a small room device. Using Biamp Launch, each of these features is automatically tuned to meet the acoustic needs of each meeting room to create an optimal audio experience.

The VBC 2500 Video Bar is (not a karaoke or sports bar) in fact the Parlé soundbar adding a state-of-the-art, 4K ePTZ camera. This camera features Biamp Video Intelligence processing to deliver auto-framing and auto-focus, which keeps meeting attendees in view, even as they move around the conference room space. For added security, an automatic privacy shutter covers the camera when not in use.

Installation of a Parlé conferencing bar is as simple as plugging one USB cable directly into a UC system for a UC room, or into a Biamp Devio SCR-10 hub for a BYOD room, and pressing the Launch button. This initiates professional-grade deployment and tuning, making it easy to use and deploy.

"Biamp remains steadfast in our commitment to making professional-grade AV accessible to more people and more room types," says Andrulis. "Parlé conferencing bars utilize the technology that our integrators are already familiar with and users love, creating an easy-to-install, cost-effective, single vendor solution for smaller rooms with performance that matches Biamp's large room solutions. The ease of installation, setup, and maintenance makes Parlé conferencing bars an ideal solution that delivers a premium audiovisual experience for everyone involved."

New Impera Control Products
Simultaneously with the new Parlé videoconferencing soundbars, Biamp also introduced the Impera family of control systems, resulting from the integration of Biamp's existing control products with the Neets portfolio following the company's acquisition in 2021. These new control systems feature simple configuration-based setup and clear, attractive user interfaces for controlling both Biamp and third-party devices. 

Biamp also announced the Apprimo Touch 8i, an 8" touch control panel with an integrated controller from Biamp's concurrently announced line of Impera control systems, providing streamlined installation and exceptional room control.
