ClearOne COLLABORATE Versa Lite CT: Premium Audio Conference Equipment for Cloud Collaboration

In today’s hybrid workplace, teams demand crystal-clear audio that keeps everyone connected and on the same page, no matter where they are. The ClearOne COLLABORATE Versa Lite CT is a powerful great room solution engineered to dramatically enhance the audio experience for any cloud-collaboration application. With no external DSP required, this system delivers professional-grade sound directly from the conference room to your Zoom, Teams, Webex, Google Meet, or other cloud-based meetings. Versa Lite CT combines sophisticated acoustic processing, adaptive beamforming, and an approachable, scalable design to ensure every voice in the room is heard with warmth, clarity, and naturalness—even in rooms with challenging acoustics and ambient noise. It’s built to streamline deployment, minimize wiring, and reduce total cost of ownership while delivering a premium conferencing experience that helps teams stay productive and engaged across distances.

Designed to simplify installation without compromising performance, Versa Lite CT is a flexible platform that adapts to a wide range of room configurations—from compact huddle spaces to larger conference rooms. It emphasizes ease of use for IT staff and end users alike, providing reliable, plug-and-play operation with major cloud collaboration apps. The system’s audio processing is purpose-built to support dynamic conversations, ensuring that distant participants feel as if they are in the same room as the in-person attendees. With clear dialog, accurate voice localization, and minimal feedback or echo, participants experience fewer interruptions and more productive meetings. The Versa Lite CT is not just about powerful hardware; it’s about delivering an integrated, end-to-end solution that aligns with modern collaboration workflows, enhances meeting outcomes, and reduces the friction often associated with setting up room-based conferencing technology.

• Built-in AEC and adaptive steering for crystal-clear voice — The Versa Lite CT includes native Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and adaptive steering beamforming that focus on the speaking individual while suppressing room noise and reverberation. This yields intelligible, natural sound for every participant, even in rooms with reflective surfaces or multiple talkers. By dynamically adjusting to the room’s acoustics, the system maintains consistent voice quality across different seating arrangements and crowd sizes.
• No external DSP required — Simplify installation and reduce hardware costs. With its integrated audio processing, the system provides professional-grade sound quality without the need for a separate digital signal processor. This streamlined approach minimizes points of failure, speeds up deployment, and makes ongoing maintenance easier for facility managers and IT teams alike.
• Wall-Mount Bluetooth Expander for wireless mobile participation — Expand meeting flexibility by letting attendees join from their mobile devices wirelessly. The Bluetooth Expander enables effortless connection, so participants can contribute from tablets or smartphones without cables. This feature is especially valuable for hybrid teams that frequently rotate participants, urge quick agenda updates, or need to bring in off-site contributors with minimal setup.
• Cloud-collaboration optimized for major platforms — Versa Lite CT is designed to shine with Zoom, Teams, Webex, Meet, and other cloud apps. It ensures stable, high-fidelity audio across software-based meetings, with adaptive gain control to balance voices across the room and prevent sudden volume spikes or suppression of softer dialogue. The system’s software-driven management integrates smoothly with common meeting platforms, delivering consistent performance even as participants switch between apps or devices.
• Compact, modular design with scalable room coverage — The Versa Lite CT system fits a variety of room configurations—from small huddle spaces to larger conference rooms—and can be expanded with compatible accessories to accommodate growing collaboration needs without sacrificing sound quality. Its modular design simplifies upgrades, maintenance, and tailored configurations, helping organizations future-proof their investments as meeting requirements evolve.

How to install ClearOne COLLABORATE Versa Lite CT

• Plan the room layout: Choose a central mounting location that provides optimal coverage for all participants and minimizes reflections from hard surfaces. Position the main unit and any expansion accessories to ensure even audio capture across the room.
• Mount the Versa Lite CT and components: Secure the primary unit in a location that is accessible for maintenance yet unobtrusive in the meeting space. If using the Wall-Mount Bluetooth Expander, install it at a convenient height on the wall to maximize wireless range and ease of connection for mobile devices.
• Connect to power and network: Provide power to the Versa Lite CT and, if applicable, connect to the network using the recommended method for your room and IT policy. Ensure any required drivers or cloud meeting software integrations are enabled on the participating devices.
• Pair devices and test the setup: Use the Bluetooth Expander to pair mobile devices and run a quick test call in a cloud collaboration app. Verify that remote participants are heard clearly, enable AEC calibration if prompted, and confirm that the adaptive steering features respond correctly to changes in the speaking source.
• Calibrate and adjust for optimal performance: Run the system’s calibration routine, adjust microphone sensitivity, and configure any room-specific EQ or noise suppression settings through the control interface or management software. Perform a follow-up test with several participants speaking from different locations to ensure even coverage and comfortable levels.
