[AG-TECH] ClearOne Converge to Room Audio

[Roberts, Ian E]

A little more information for you. I had to get access to the room with my equipment in it.

I have a Converge Pro 840T and I basically just want Line Out to go to the amp that powers the room speakers. Is it as simple as stripping the ends off a standard audio cable and poking it in the Line Out connectors? If I go line out will I still be able to control output volume via software?

Hello Ian,
Your details are not clear.  Do you mean the room's mixer is used for playing into the room's own amplifier and speakers? And what model of ClearOne Converge?

You may be able to select the record output to feed to your room PA system. The record output on a converge 560/590 uses two RCA-Phono labelled L and R OUT (but which are of course mono) so a dual RCA-Phono to whatever connector your mixer uses should suffice.

Alternatively if you wish to continue to use the internal Converge amplifier so that you can use the Converge software controls for your room levels, you could make a small attenuator to reduce the speaker signals to a suitable level for your mixer inputs.
Two resistors in series of a high enough value so that they won't get cooked by the amplifier output is all that is needed for each channel. Feed the centre tap of each to the mixer inputs.

Hi folks, I'm setting up my grid in a new facility, and I won't be able to
use my regular bare-wire speakers that come out of the back of my ClearOne
device with the Phoenix cables. What I need to be able to do is have the
ClearOne output to some standard (either RCA or 1/8" jack) to plug into the
room's mixer. Is that something the Converge can do by default, or do I need
to do some wiring to get the right plug on the end of the speaker wire?

Thanks! ~ian
