BASIC ROOM DESIGN

To ensure best microphone and loudspeaker placement (ceiling- or wall-mount), please

use the manufacturer’s guidelines for the microphones and loudspeakers you choose to

use with your Converge system. For more information on Room Design, or to view the

Converge online training course, visit www.clearone.com.

MICROPHONES

Mic pick-up range depends on room conditions. Background noise, reflective hard

surfaces and the number of participants may affect the pick-up range. Take all of these

factors into account when determining the best placement of the microphones in your

Converge system and then adjust for your specific room conditions.

CEILING-MOUNT LOUDSPEAKERS

For best performance, ceiling loudspeakers should be installed as recommended by the

manufacturer, depending on the kind of microphone being used. For example, if you are

using ClearOne delta mics, then it is recommended that the ceiling loudspeakers be

installed directly above the microphones. For example, if you have a Converge 590 with

three ClearOne delta mics, you would install the ceiling loudspeakers above the first and

third mics.

WALL-MOUNT LOUDSPEAKERS

For best performance, place the left channel loudspeaker on the left side of the room and

the right channel loudspeaker on the right and make sure the back of each loudspeaker is

parallel to the front wall. (Refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and instructions for

ideal loudspeaker placement.)

FOR BEST RF CONTROLLER PERFORMANCE

• Do not install the Converge mixer in a metal cabinet unless you are using the remote

antenna accessory. Part number 910-153-050.

• Keep the mixer within line of sight of the RF controller, such as on the top of a

credenza.

• Ensure antenna is connected to the back of the mixer and is pointed up.

• If installing the mixer in an equipment rack, make sure it is placed at or near the top of

the rack.

FOR BEST AUDIO PERFORMANCE

• Use the provided cables.

• Do not move microphones while on a call.

• Speak at a normal conversation level and direct your voice toward the microphones.

• Do not place microphones next to fans, projectors or computers.
