Designed as a tabletop, low-profile solution, it blends seamlessly onto conference tables while delivering crisp, natural sound that reduces fatigue during long meetings. Its compact size keeps visibility to a minimum, making it ideal for executive boardrooms, huddle rooms, and shared workspaces where attention should stay on the discussion, not the mic. Engineers and AV integrators will appreciate the balance of performance, reliability, and simplicity this microphone brings to mid- to large-sized conference setups. Whether you’re coordinating a high-stakes video conference, conducting remote interviews, or hosting collaborative brainstorming sessions, this mic provides dependable pickup without drawing attention away from the conversation.

• High-fidelity voice pickup for teleconferencing — Built around a sensitive electret condenser capsule, this microphone captures intelligible speech with a broad dynamic range. It preserves the natural cadence of voices and minimizes tonal harshness, ensuring participants sound authentic and easy to understand across remote connections. The result is clearer discussions, fewer miscommunications, and a more productive meeting flow.
• Low-profile, table-ready design — The compact, unobtrusive form factor sits neatly on conference tables without dominating the visual space. Its discreet silhouette helps maintain a professional aesthetic on executive and corporate tables, while still offering robust pickup for all room participants. The microphone’s minimal footprint also leaves room for other conference tools and notes, promoting a tidy and efficient meeting environment.
• Reliable wired connection for dependable performance — A wired design reduces latency and eliminates the variability that can come with wireless microphones in busy conference environments. This contributes to consistent, stable audio transmission during important calls and presentations. The robust cabling and connector setup are built to withstand frequent use, ensuring endurance in busy meeting rooms and shared spaces.
• Smart noise handling for busy spaces — In rooms with HVAC systems, projectors, and ambient chatter, this microphone is engineered to emphasize vocal clarity while attenuating stray noises. The result is cleaner conversations with fewer interruptions caused by background sounds. This makes it well-suited for bustling offices, shared boardrooms, and open-plan conference areas where acoustic challenges are common.
• Durable construction with easy maintenance — A professional-grade build stands up to daily use in corporate environments. The grille, body, and mounting surfaces are designed for long life and straightforward cleaning, helping to preserve acoustic performance and appearance over time. The microphone’s simple, serviceable design also makes routine maintenance straightforward for AV teams and office staff.

How to install ClearOne Wired Electret Condenser Microphone

• Prepare the conference space: place the microphone on the center of the table or at an elevated position within reach of all participants. Ensure the area is free from obstructions that could obstruct the microphone’s pickup pattern.
• Connect the microphone to your conferencing system using the standard wired interface provided with the device. Verify that the connection corresponds to the system’s input port and that the cable is securely seated to prevent accidental disconnections during a meeting.
• Power and signal checks: if your system requires external power or a specific power setting, enable it according to the user manual. Run a quick audio test to confirm that the mic captures voices clearly from multiple seating positions around the table.
• Positioning and orientation: adjust the microphone’s orientation to face the most active speaker while avoiding direct alignment with noise sources (like ceiling fans or air vents). A slight tilt toward the speaking participant can help optimize voice pickup and reduce echo or spill.
• Final room calibration: in larger conference rooms, consider integrating with the room’s DSP (digital signal processing) settings to tailor equalization, noise suppression, and gain structure. For smaller spaces, rely on the mic’s natural pickup and basic system volume controls to achieve balanced sound across all participants.
• Maintenance and care: regularly inspect the microphone for dust or debris and clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners that could degrade the grille or housing. If necessary, consult your AV technician for routine maintenance or replacement parts to sustain peak performance over time.
