Tabletop Installation
The bar is shipped with the table mount attached. Clear an area on a table or stand (usually under the video display). Remove the bar from its packaging. The bars can be powered through the USB-C port, but the host device must be able to supply 60W over USB-C. If the host device cannot provide 60W, an optional Biamp auxiliary power supply (PS-12-60) must be used.
- Pull out and remove the back panel cover to expose the power connections.
- Connect the USB-C cable and secure with the screw. Connect the other end to the host device. If auxiliary power is necessary, connect the power supply to the threaded port, then plug the power supply into the wall.
- Reinstall the input cover, routing the cords through the plastic stubs and the opening at the bottom of the cover. The stubs will provide strain relief for the cables.
- Position the bar facing the conference table / occupants, and remove the film covering the center glass.
- Press the Launch button (location shown), and allow the smart technology to optimize the audio for the room.
Wall Installation

Remove the table stand as shown. Reserve the (4) screws for reattachment to the wall plate.
-
Use the wall plate to mark the locations, and install the anchors in the wall.

-
Position the bar face down and rotate the hinge plates up 90°. Hang the bar on the wall plate knobs and move it down to capture the knobs.

Note: Connect cables and power as noted in Steps 1-3 on the previous page. -
Rotate the bar up – back into position, and remove the film covering the center glass.

Press the Launch button (location shown), and allow the smart technology to optimize the audio for the room.
Operation
The Parlé Conference bars act as USB peripherals that are connected to USB host devices. Audio and video control is available to the connected host device’s operating system and conferencing apps.
Biamp’s Camera Controller software can be downloaded (Mac or PC). This software is used to facilitate firmware updates to both bar models, and can provide additional camera controls for the VBC bar. The file must be downloaded from the Biamp website first and then the firmware update can be initiated from the software.
Biamp Launch is the smart technology to optimize the audio for the room. Pressing the Launch button customizes the audio coverage based on the room’s characteristics.
