Congratulations! You have purchased a ClearOne® Converge™ Pro audio conferencing solution. The Converge Pro product family represents a revolutionary advance in state-of-the-art audio technology for large-scale conferencing applications.
ClearOne introduced its first audio conferencing products to the market in 1990 under the brand name Gentner®. Today, ClearOne has over 80,000 installations worldwide in organizations ranging from the Fortune 1,000 to the federal government. ClearOne products are used in the most demanding conferencing applications, where they consistently deliver industry-leading audio quality and unsurpassed reliability.
ClearOne's proprietary Distributed Echo Cancellation® (DEC) technology forms the foundation of the Converge Pro product family, and provides optimal audio quality for today's distributed conferencing environments. In addition to DEC, other ClearOne innovations – including noise cancellation, automatic gain and level control, advanced microphone gating, adaptive ambient, and ClearEffect™ wideband audio emulation – produce crystal-clear audio that is equivalent to conference participants being in the same room.
