Parlé VBC 2500 Video Conferencing Bar Featured in Systems Contractor News

The Parlé VBC 2500 Conferencing Video Bar received high praise in the July 2023 issue of Systems Contractor News.

In the publication’s review, titled “Read the Room,” author Chuck Gloman, an associate professor in the TV/Film department at DeSales University, noted the bar’s many advanced, built-in features and stated, “Small or medium-sized rooms never looked or sounded so good before the Parlé 2500 conferencing bar.”

The VBC 2500, a 2023 Red Dot Awards winner for industrial design excellence, features Beamtracking microphones, Biamp Launch one-button audio optimization technology, smart loudspeakers, advanced signal processing, and a 4K camera with auto-framing all in one plug-and-play package. It is designed to deliver both a premium conferencing experience to users while offering significant time savings for installers and information technology professionals. The Parlé conferencing bar can be easily mounted to existing equipment or to a wall, connecting to a UC platform with a single USB connection.

Mr. Gloman put the VBC 2500 bar through its paces in his freshmen seminar to “…see how a Zoom meeting originating in a noisy classroom worked.”

Despite the acoustical challenges, Mr. Gorman came away impressed: “Even with the extra rowdiness of my class to test its limits, the Parlé VBC 2500 passed, which means this video bar is up to the task in any meeting environment,” he said. “Normal presentations are tracked, and the audio is free from distractions.”
