The Parlé CBC 2500 PM is a pole-mounted, all-in-one conferencing audio bar designed for open-ceiling collaboration spaces where traditional wall or display mounting is impractical. Suspended from a single mounting point with a refined, architectural pole assembly, it delivers clean aesthetics and straightforward installation while preserving wall real estate.
At its core is the advanced Parlé ABC 2500 conferencing bar, featuring a powerful 27-element microphone array that uses Biamp Beamtracking™ technology to automatically track talkers and mix voices naturally as participants move around the space. Integrated Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) ensures clean, feedback-free meetings, while AI-driven noise reduction enhances intelligibility by suppressing disruptive background sounds.
Audio playback is delivered through two smart loudspeakers engineered with distortion compensation and dynamic bass enhancement to create room-filling, high-clarity sound ideal for conferencing and content playback.
The CBC 2500 PM also includes Biamp Launch, a one-touch automated tuning system that analyzes and calibrates the audio performance of the room—ensuring consistent, optimized results for every installation.
Certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom and backed by a 3-year warranty, the Parlé CBC 2500 PM is a complete, premium audio solution that elevates open-ceiling environments into exceptional collaboration spaces.
