How to Install ClearOne CONVERGE SR1212A

• Plan your signal flow by identifying all microphone sources, line-level inputs, and speaker outputs. Map the 12x12 matrix so you can assign routes that support your room layout and desired conferencing workflow.
• Mount the SR1212A in a standard equipment rack or a dedicated AV cabinet. Ensure adequate ventilation and proper ground connections to maintain performance in high-usage environments.
• Connect microphone and line sources to the designated inputs and connect the integrated four-channel amplifier to the main speaker system. Use shielded, high-quality cables to minimize interference and preserve signal integrity.
• Connect the device to your network and power. Access the web-based management interface from a computer on the same network to begin configuration and routing settings. Apply recommended room profiles and adjust DSP parameters to suit the acoustics of the venue.
• Calibrate for optimal audio performance. Use the built-in DSP tools to set equalization, dynamics, noise suppression, and echo cancellation. Run a room test with participants to verify intelligibility, balance, and system latency, and refine routing as needed for consistent coverage throughout the space.
