How to install ClearOne DIALOG 20 USB Wireless Microphone

Getting started is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps to set up the DIALOG 20 for optimal performance in any meeting space:

1. Unpack the DIALOG 20 units and locate the USB-C cable. Ensure your computer or conferencing device is powered on and running your preferred meeting software.
2. Connect the USB-C cable from the DIALOG 20’s USB-C port to a available USB-C port on your PC or Mac. The system is bus-powered, so no external power adapter is necessary.
3. Power on the wireless microphones and place them as needed for optimal pickup. Use the built-in pairing or multipoint features if your model supports them, ensuring both channels are properly synchronized with the receiver unit.
4. Open your preferred conferencing application (Zoom, Teams, Webex, etc.) and select the DIALOG 20 USB microphone as the input device. If necessary, configure the application’s audio settings to enable stereo/dual-channel input or set the correct microphone level.
5. Perform a quick test: speak into both mics at typical volumes, adjust input gain within your meeting software or operating system, and verify that participants on the remote end hear speech clearly with minimal latency. Use the mute controls if needed and ensure the local sound reinforcement path remains active for on-site monitoring.

Tips for optimal performance:

• Keep the microphones within the recommended distance from speakers to avoid proximity effect or distortion.
• Place mics to minimize background noise and avoid direct alignment with loud mechanical equipment.
• Use the system’s built-in level controls or your software mixer to balance the two channels for a natural, intelligible sound field.
• Test in the actual meeting space to account for room acoustics and potential reflections, then adjust EQ and compression as needed.
