ClearOne Ships RAV(TM) Business Conferencing System
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 15 -- ClearOne Communications Inc., a developer, manufacturer and provider of conferencing products, today began shipping its RAV(TM) business conferencing system for corporate meeting rooms.
RAV (pronounced rave) is a complete, out-of-the-box audio conferencing system that includes an audio mixer, loudspeakers, microphones and a wireless control device. It can be used as a higher-quality alternative to premium and standard conference phones for stand-alone audio conferencing. It also easily connects to common rich-media devices, such as video or Webconferencing systems, for enhanced audio performance.
RAV offers many powerful audio processing technologies from ClearOne's XAP(R) product line without the need for complex and costly professional installation and programming. It features Gentner(R) Distributed Echo Cancellation(R), noise cancellation, microphone gating and a drag-and-drop graphical user interface for easy system setup, control and management.
"RAV bridges the price-versus-performance gap between professionally installed audio systems and tabletop conferencing phones," said Zee Hakimoglu, ClearOne's chief executive officer. "It is extremely easy to install and provides more functionality and better audio quality than any tabletop conferencing phone. The result is a powerful yet affordable solution for basic conferencing applications that don't require the full functionality of a XAP installed audio system."
"With its combination of great sound quality and ease of installation, RAV is the ideal solution for small- to medium-sized conference rooms," said Richard Coffey, IT director for the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah. "Setup is very straightforward, as it took no time to install and configure the system for audio, video and data conferencing use. And its telephone-style controls make it extremely easy for even the most novice user to operate."
RAV is available in two models, RAV 600 and RAV 900. RAV 600 includes an audio mixer with an integrated telephone interface and amplifier, two Bose(R) ceiling- or wall-mount speakers, a wireless control unit, RAV-Ware(TM) software, and two RAV microphone pods comprised of three microphones each. RAV 900 adds an extra microphone pod to deliver optimal voice pickup in larger rooms. Both models include Ethernet control for remote management and configuration capabilities.
North American retail pricing will be $2,599 for RAV 600 and $3,099 for RAV 900. International pricing may vary.
