Chapter 1: Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing your Beamforming Microphone Array. The Beamforming

Microphone Array is a 24-microphone device with beamforming and adaptive steering technology

designed specifically for use with the CONVERGE®Pro products: 880, 840T, 880T, 880TA, and the

COLLABORATE Room Pro media appliances.

The Beamforming Microphone Array connects with the CONVERGE Pro through an Expansion

Bus (E-bus) port: 3 arrays per supported CONVERGE Pro and up to 16 Beamforming Microphone

Arrays can be daisy-chained in the site. The power for the Beamforming Microphone Array is

supplied through a Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) connection.

The Beamforming Microphone Array supports use in ceiling-mounted and wall mounted modes,

leaving the conference room table area free of clutter, as well as a standard table-top mode.

»IMPORTANT: The Beamforming Microphone Array only can be used with CONVERGE

Pro systems operating at version 4.X software and firmware.

Instructions for updating CONVERGE Pro firmware and Beamforming Microphone Array firmware

are included in the Beamforming Microphone Array Quick-Start Guide which is found on the

ClearOne website at:

http://www.clearone.com/resources#professional_microphones

This guide covers the steps followed to mount the Beamforming Microphone Array in a solid ceiling,

drop-ceiling and wall mount. This guide can also be downloaded from the ClearOne website at:

power supply, one AC power cable and two 25-foot CAT5E RJ45 plenum cables. (One used as

the PoE cable and the other as an E-bus cable) If a PoE kit is not obtained, installers will need

to provide their own PoE unit and all cables.

»NOTE: The PoE connection is only for power, not control. Power must be supplied to

individual units; no daisy-chain power is allowed.

CONNECTIONS

The following section illustrates the connections made in a sample Beamforming Microphone Array

installation on a site.

powering the Beamforming microphone array

Powering the Beamforming Microphone Array can be through a standard Power-over-Ethernet

(PoE) switch or through an external PoE power supply. Use the appropriate AC cord to connect the

PoE power supply to the AC power. Then plug the PoE cable into the LAN+DC connection on the

power supply. Route the PoE cable where it can be fed through the ceiling mount assembly, wall

mount or to the conference table with the Beamforming Microphone Array. The following illustration

shows the cable connections with the PoE Power Supply.

e-Bus connections

The Beamforming Microphone Array units are connected to the CONVERGE Pro stack via the LINK

IN and LINK OUT E-bus connections using CAT5E RJ45 cables.

»NOTE: Firmware upgrades and Beamforming Microphone Array operation are

performed via the E-bus connection. Plugging the PoE cable into the E-bus

connections may cause damage to the Beamforming Microphone Array.

Chapter 1: Getting Started 3

»NOTE: One or two E-bus connections are required depending on where in the stack

the Beamforming Microphone Array is placed. Only one E-bus,cable, LINK IN, is

required if the array is the end of the stack; two are needed if the stack continues to

another array or CONVERGE Pro unit (LINK IN and LINK OUT).

The Beamforming Microphone Array is connected to the CONVERGE Pro and to other Beamforming

Microphone Array units via the E-bus in the same way as multiple CONVERGE Pro units are

connected together. Each unit has a LINK IN and LINK OUT connection which allows the units to

be “chained” together with the LINK OUT of one unit connecting to the LINK IN of the next unit.

The steps in connecting the Beamforming Microphone Array are covered in the Beamforming

Microphone Array Quick-Start Guide. Instructions for configuring the Beamforming Microphone

Array are included in the CONVERGE Console version 4.X online help.
