ClearOne Control Devices

Operation of linked Converge Pro units can be done via the USB, RS-232 serial or Ethernet connections. Converge

Console is used with the USB or Ethernet port. Audiovisual controllers can operate a Converge Pro system via Ethernet

or RS-232.

Front Panel

The Converge Pros’ front panel is intuitive to operate, thanks to its simple and large interface LCD, menu buttons and

scroll wheel, and a peak-level LED bar meter. Although most of Converge Pro features are programmed with Converge

Console software, the front panel can be used for simple adjustments and meter monitoring. To prevent unauthorized

changes, Converge Pro units can be password protected.

Expansion Bus Audio Functions

The expansion bus allows up to twelve Converge Pro mixers and up to 16 Converge Pro TH20s to be controlled as a

single unit.

This digital mix-minus bus allows audio routing to and from any destination on the expansion bus. It contains 18

independent digital audio buses and six PA Adapt/echo cancellation reference buses. Each audio bus can route mic or

line level inputs, in any combination, across the expansion bus. These buses are divided into two groups—O–R buses

and S–Z buses— based on their capabilities and default settings.

I–R buses• : These ten audio buses are defaulted as mic mix buses; they can communicate the NOM count

across the network to other Converge Pros. Otherwise, these buses are identical to buses S–Z.

S–Z buses• : These eight buses are defaulted as auxiliary mix buses. They are used to route auxiliary audio, such

as from a CD player, telephone interface, or video codec, to and from other units on the network. These buses are

also used as mic mix buses when NOM count is not required.
