“With the Converge SR 1212, ClearOne has applied its experience and expertise to solve many of the problems that cause poor audio quality in sound reinforcement applications,” said Scott Woolley, Product Marketing Director, Professional Audio, at ClearOne. “One way we achieved this is with our unique automatic microphone activation process that is only available in ClearOne products. This signal processing reduces the pickup of room noise, reduces feedback and provides a cleaner, crisper sound with better intelligibility.”

Shipment of the SR 1212 will begin in early February of 2008.
