Operation Manual

Converge Pro Rear Panel Connectors

AC Power1. : IEC connector, 100 – 240VAC auto-adjusting, 50/60Hz.

Warning: This equipment must be connected to an AC mains socket outlet with a protective

earthing connection. The third prong of this connector (ground) is an important safety feature. Do not

attempt to disable this ground connection by using an adaptor or other method.

Mic/Line Inputs2. : Mini-terminal push-on block connector for any combination of microphone and/or line

level inputs. (Converge Pro 880: 8 inputs. Converge Pro 880T: 8 inputs. ConvergePro 880TA: 8 inputs.

Converge Pro 840T: 4 inputs. Converge Pro 8i: 8 inputs. Converge Pro TH20, VH20: 0 inputs. Converge SR

1212: 8 inputs. Converge SR 1212A: 8 inputs.)

Line Outputs3. : Mini-terminal push-on connector for line-level outputs (880, 880T, 880TA, 840T, SR 1212, SR

1212A).

Line Inputs4. : Mini-terminal push-on block connector for line level inputs only. (Converge Pro 880: 4 inputs.

Converge Pro 880T: 4 inputs. Converge Pro 880TA: 4 inputs. Converge Pro 840T: 4 inputs. Converge Pro 8i:

4 inputs. Converge Pro TH20, VH20: 2 inputs. Converge SR 1212: 4 inputs. Converge SR 1212A: 4 inputs.)

Line Outputs5. : Mini-terminal push-on block connector for line-level outputs (880, 880T, 840T, TH20, VH20,

SR1212).

Link In and Link Out Ports6. : Two RJ-45 E-bus (expansion bus) connectors used to connect

multiple Converge Pro units together to create a site. You can connect up to twelve Converge Pro

840T/880/880T/880TA/8i/SR 1212/SR 1212A units, up to 16 Converge Pro TH20/VH20 units, or any

combination thereof, where the total number of microphone inputs does not exceed 96. Maximum cable

length is 200 feet using Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable.

WARNING: Use the Link In and Link Out ports with Converge Pro Devices ONLY. Connecting

ANY other devices to the Link In and Link Out ports, including ClearOne XAP or PSR1212

products, or Power Over Ethernet (PoE) devices, will result in severe equipment damage.

RS-232 Serial Port7. : Female DB9 connector for connecting to a laptop, computer, or remote control serial

devices (such as AMX and Crestron controllers).

NOTE: Converge Console software cannot connect via the RS-232 port; use USB or

Ethernet.

Control/Status A and B Ports8. : Two female DB25 connectors used for GPIO interactions between

Converge Pro devices and external control devices (such as wall switches and push-to-talk microphones).

This enables external devices and controller software to access the Converge Pro command set, including

common functions such as volume control, muting, room combining, and preset changes.

PC and LAN Ethernet Ports9. : Two RJ-45 10/100Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet ports. The LAN port connects

Converge Pro devices to a network. The PC port provides a pass-through network connection for use with

a standard (not crossover) patch cable. The LEDs adjacent to each port indicate connection status and

packet traffic activity.
