How to install ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 128VTD

• Plan your layout: Determine the room’s audio zones, microphone placement, and where you will route inputs and outputs. Identify the primary conference space, any secondary listening areas, and where network connections should be made.
• Mount or place the device: Position the CONVERGE Pro 2 128VTD in a suitable cabinet, rack, or desktop location with adequate ventilation. Ensure it's within reach of power, network, and connection points for microphones, USB devices, and any external audio equipment.
• Connect network and power: Connect the unit to a reliable Ethernet network for SIP, Teams integration, and Dante routing. Plug in the power supply or ensure a powered environmental environment if PoE is involved, following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
• Attach audio sources and destinations: Connect 12 configured mic/line inputs to your array of microphones and line sources (e.g., desk computers, media players). Route 8 mic/line outputs to amplifiers, speakers, or recording devices as dictated by the room design and AV system requirements.
• Integrate USB and USB peripherals: Connect a PC or laptop via USB for direct conferencing and recording. If applicable, attach any USB audio devices or interfaces as needed to capture or broadcast audio to participants.
• Set up VoIP and Teams integration: Access the web-based configuration interface and configure SIP settings or Microsoft Teams integration according to your organization’s IT policies. Verify SIP trunks, Teams account connections, and appropriate licensing if required.
• Configure Dante networking: If you plan to use Dante, configure network routing to ensure seamless audio distribution across devices. Set up channels, sample rates, and synchronization to prevent latency or dropout in conference scenarios.
• Tune the room acoustics with DSP: Utilize the built-in DSP functions to optimize echo cancellation, noise suppression, AGC, and equalization for the room’s characteristics. Test with participants to refine mic gain, processing thresholds, and routing paths for optimal clarity.
• Test and validate: Run a full test of the system with in-room participants and remote participants. Check mic pickup, speaker coverage, conferencing audio quality, and call reliability. Adjust levels and routing as needed to ensure a balanced, intelligible sound across all zones.
• Document configuration: Save the final configuration and document the network settings, input/output mappings, and VoIP/Teams credentials for future maintenance. Create a simple maintenance checklist to ensure ongoing performance and ease of use for future users.
