ClearOne Wired Electret Condenser Microphone — Tri-Element Dante Ceiling Array

Discover a new standard in meeting room clarity with the ClearOne wired electret condenser microphone. This advanced tri-element ceiling microphone array delivers unparalleled sound quality, flexibility, and control for modern conference rooms, auditoria, and learning spaces. Engineered with a tri-element electret condenser design, it captures voices with remarkable fidelity while minimizing background noise, ensuring every participant is heard with natural warmth and precision. Its Dante built-in networking interface enables reliable, low-latency digital audio over standard IP networks, making it a powerful centerpiece for conference systems, collaboration suites, and live sound reinforcement. Whether you’re outfitting a small huddle room or a large auditorium, this ceiling microphone scales to your needs without compromising coverage or intelligibility. And with full 360-degree pickup and adjustable height, you can tailor the sound field to the room’s acoustics and the seating layout for optimal intelligibility from every seat.

• 360-degree coverage delivers consistent pickup from all directions, ensuring every speaker in the room is captured clearly, even in rooms with challenging seating arrangements or dynamic presenter movement.
• Tri-element electret condenser design provides wide dynamic range and accurate speech pickup, preserving natural voice timbre while suppressing ambient noise and HVAC hum.
• Built-in Dante audio networking enables seamless digital audio transport over standard Ethernet networks, simplifying integration with your AV/UC systems and delivering scalable, studio-grade quality.
• Height-adjustable ceiling mount allows precise positioning to match room height and seating geometry, giving installers the flexibility to optimize reach and coverage without vendor-specific constraints.
• Daisy-chain capability and flexible distribution support conferencing, sound reinforcement, and multi-zone audio distribution, enabling scalable deployments from a single ceiling point.

how to install clearone-wired-electret-condenser-microphone

• Plan the installation by selecting a ceiling location that provides unobstructed 360-degree coverage and aligns with the typical speaking areas and seating layout.
• Mount the ceiling bracket securely using appropriate hardware for your ceiling material and room loads. Ensure the mounting point supports the weight and allows for height adjustment as needed.
• Route the audio and network (Dante) cables from the microphone to your control room or AV rack. Keep cabling neat and labels clear for future maintenance and scalability.
• Connect the microphone’s Dante interface to your network switch or AV router. If powering via PoE or a dedicated supply, ensure the correct power source is used per installation specifications.
• Configure the device in your Dante Controller or equivalent network management tool. Assign channels, set daisy-chain paths if used, and verify the microphone is routing audio to the intended destinations (conference bridge, recording device, or amplification system).
• Test the system by speaking from multiple seating positions. Adjust the mounting height if necessary to optimize pickup range and minimize bleed from HVAC or stage lighting.
• Fine-tune room acoustics as needed with mic gain, noise floor considerations, and room equalization to maximize intelligibility across all participants.
