ClearOne Wired Electret Condenser Microphone

Introducing the ClearOne Wired Electret Condenser Microphone—a ceiling-mounted tri-element analog microphone array engineered for superior conferencing and sound reinforcement in modern meeting rooms, classrooms, and corporate environments. Engineered to deliver full 360-degree room coverage, this advanced mic captures speech with remarkable clarity and natural detail, even in environments with challenging acoustics. With adjustable height, intuitive On and Mute LED indicators, and seamless integration into existing AV workflows, it provides reliable performance and flexible control for every collaboration scenario.

• 360-degree coverage with a tri-element analog design—Every voice in the room is captured with consistent clarity, reducing dead zones and minimizing reverberant tint. The tri-element configuration is optimized for speech intelligibility across moderate to large conference spaces, ensuring that participants seated anywhere in the room are heard with high fidelity. This design supports clear, natural conversation, making hybrid meetings and multi-site discussions feel as immersive as in-person gatherings.
• Adjustable height for precise placement—The microphone array offers adjustable height to accommodate varying ceiling heights and room layouts. By positioning the array at an optimal height, you can tailor the pickup pattern to the seating arrangement, enhance voice separation from ambient noise, and reduce ceiling reflections. This flexibility is especially valuable in boardrooms, auditoriums, and education spaces where room geometry and seating patterns frequently change.
• LED indicators for On and Mute—Visible status cues at a glance help meeting participants and moderators maintain privacy and control. The On/Mute LEDs provide immediate feedback during conversations, empowering smooth handoffs between speakers and quick muting when sensitive discussions occur. In shared environments, these indicators contribute to a more efficient and respectful collaboration experience.
• Optimized for speech intelligibility with full audio bandwidth—Designed to emphasize the essential speech frequency range while preserving a broad dynamic range, the microphone delivers clear articulation and natural tone. This makes it well-suited for spoken content, lectures, and corporate briefings, ensuring every participant is intelligible whether they are near the mic or at the far end of the room. The full audio bandwidth supports crisp, intelligible voice pickup even during rapid speech and overlapping conversations.
• Reliable wired operation for professional environments—Built to withstand everyday use in conference rooms and classrooms, the microphone is a robust wired solution that integrates with standard AV processors and room controllers. Its solid construction, dependable analog signal path, and compatibility with common conferencing ecosystems translate to fewer dropouts, easier maintenance, and predictable performance across meetings of any size.

how to install ClearOne Wired Electret Condenser Microphone

• Plan the installation by evaluating ceiling height, room dimensions, and seating arrangements to determine the optimal mounting location for universal 360-degree pickup.
• Prepare the mounting surface and access the ceiling cavity according to local building codes. Ensure a clean, unobstructed path for the microphone's field of view to minimize reflections and visual obstructions.
• Begin the mounting process by securely attaching the microphone array housing to the chosen ceiling point. Use appropriate fasteners or mounting hardware suitable for your ceiling type, and route the signal cable neatly to the AV backend or room processor.
• Connect the analog signal path to your conferencing processor or mixer following the manufacturer's guidance for your specific system. Verify that all connections are firm and shielded to reduce interference from lighting, projectors, and other electronics.
• Power the system as required and perform initial calibration. Adjust the microphone height as needed to optimize speech pickup, test the On and Mute LEDs, and run a room calibration or gain-staging routine to achieve balanced levels across the room.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What kind of coverage does this microphone provide? A: The tri-element design delivers full 360-degree coverage, enabling even voice pickup around the entire room while maintaining clear articulation for all participants.
