the most intelligible full-duplex audio conference experience possible. Features include:
• Audio mixer for high-quality audio performance in all acoustical environments.
• RF (radio frequency) controller or wired controller with call controls including auto-
answer, flash duration adjustment, ringer adjustment and phonebook with speed dial
capabilities.
• Internal telephone hybrid with touch-tone dialing capability.

BASIC ROOM DESIGN
To ensure best microphone and loudspeaker placement (ceiling- or wall-mount), please
use the manufacturer’s guidelines for the microphones and loudspeakers you choose to
use with your Converge system. For more information on Room Design, or to view the
Converge online training course, visit www.clearone.com.
MICROPHONES
Mic pick-up range depends on room conditions. Background noise, reflective hard
surfaces and the number of participants may affect the pick-up range. Take all of these
factors into account when determining the best placement of the microphones in your
Converge system and then adjust for your specific room conditions.
CEILING-MOUNT LOUDSPEAKERS
For best performance, ceiling loudspeakers should be installed as recommended by the
manufacturer, depending on the kind of microphone being used. For example, if you are
using ClearOne delta mics, then it is recommended that the ceiling loudspeakers be
installed directly above the microphones. For example, if you have a Converge 590 with
three ClearOne delta mics, you would install the ceiling loudspeakers above the first and
third mics.
WALL-MOUNT LOUDSPEAKERS
For best performance, place the left channel loudspeaker on the left side of the room and
the right channel loudspeaker on the right and make sure the back of each loudspeaker is
parallel to the front wall. (Refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and instructions for
ideal loudspeaker placement.)
FOR BEST RF CONTROLLER PERFORMANCE
• Do not install the Converge mixer in a metal cabinet unless you are using the remote
antenna accessory. Part number 910-153-050.
• Keep the mixer within line of sight of the RF controller, such as on the top of a
credenza.
• Ensure antenna is connected to the back of the mixer and is pointed up.
• If installing the mixer in an equipment rack, make sure it is placed at or near the top of
the rack.
FOR BEST AUDIO PERFORMANCE
• Use the provided cables.
• Do not move microphones while on a call.
• Speak at a normal conversation level and direct your voice toward the microphones.
• Do not place microphones next to fans, projectors or computers.

Introduction 11
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Carefully consider the following items in order to ensure yourself of a smooth installation
process.
READ THE USER MANUAL

the Help file in RAV-Ware for information on the software. Read through all requirements
and safety information to be sure you set up and configure your Converge correctly.
MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK IS READY
Review all system requirements. Then check with your network administrator to be sure
your network meets all the Converge requirements.
CONNECT CABLES
Connect cables. If you are planning on using the Converge for web or videoconferencing,
you’ll need to connect peripheral equipment. See Chapter 2, Connecting the Converge.

NETWORK INFORMATION
To use Converge over a local area network (LAN), you need to know if the LAN uses
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or if you need a static IP address.
If the LAN uses DHCP, there is no need to make any network adjustments. If the LAN does
not use DHCP, gather the following information prior to LAN setup:
• The IP address to be assigned to the Converge.
• The subnet mask.
• The IP address of the default gateway.
• The network name to be assigned to Converge.

Connecting the Converge 13
BASIC CONNECTIONS
Connecting the Converge should be a smooth process. Once basic connections for audio
conferencing are made, the system is ready to use.
SETTING UP AUDIO CONFERENCING
1. If you are installing the mixer into a rack, remove the side panels, rotate them and
then reattach.
