“We are honored to be recognized by Tech & Learning Magazine,” Derek Graham, ClearOne CEO, said today. “Their recognition of the DIALOG UVHF Wireless Microphone System underscores the important role this groundbreaking solution will play in higher education at colleges and universities throughout North America.  We listened closely to higher education AV and IT directors, and then designed a solution that would meet their real-world educational needs. This award validates these efforts.”

The ClearOne DIALOG UVHF is a highly flexible wireless microphone system that delivers incredibly robust reception and more available spectrum on-demand than any other product in its class. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplicity, industry leading flexibility, Dante® technology and up to 350 usable frequencies, the DIALOG UVHF offers professional-quality audio for conferencing, video collaboration and sound reinforcement for the ultimate higher education experience.

​​The DIALOG UVHF provides the ultimate conferencing and video collaboration experience for students, teachers, and administrators and can be utilized in a variety of campus settings including lecture halls, intimate classrooms, auditoriums, and administrative spaces. As universities and colleges worldwide lean into hybrid learning patterns, high quality communication and collaboration technology that fits seamlessly into everyday campus processes is essential.
 

To ensure that all end-users have the greatest flexibility possible, the ClearOne DIALOG UVHF is designed to support all leading collaboration platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, GoToMeeting, Zoom and Webex via USB audio. It also supports Dante and analog output to interface with lecture capture and local sound reinforcement systems. This enables in-person and hybrid students to connect easily regardless of the personal system they use and ensures that communication and collaboration amongst students and faculty is democratized.

 

The DIALOG UVHF offers universities a flexible wireless microphone system that can address varying audio pickup needs for rooms of any size – with the ability to use the same technology throughout all campus spaces, universities can ensure users have consistent experiences and seamless audio clarity throughout hybrid meetings and during presentations.

With 350 available frequencies across 160 MHz of RF range, the system maintains high audio quality and minimizes connectivity issues for teachers and students. Five lavalier, lanyard, and headset-type microphone options for the bodypack transmitter, two handheld microphones, a boundary microphone and three gooseneck microphone lengths for podium use deliver unmatched flexibility to integrators, room designers and meeting hosts implementing and using the technology.

Ease of use is key for students and teachers who routinely work in different locations, and the DIALOG UVHF delivers on this requirement. Powering DIALOG UVHF microphones is simple, with all models using the same 12-hour off-the-shelf Li-on battery that can be charged easily via USB-C or an eight-bay charging dock. Firmware updates can be done over the network, while the transmitters charge in the PoE-powered dock.

The PoE-powered wireless access point can stream eight channels of Dante network audio and an optional Dante interface provides eight Euroblock balanced analog outputs, including mixed output, USB audio output and eight GPIOs. The lightweight plenum-rated access point provides versatile mounting options for wall, ceiling, tabletop, or pole mounting, including VESA mount holes.

The DIALOG UVHF is the only system with a wireless access point delivering antenna redundancy and diversity, with dual antennas providing spatial and polarization diversity, helping maintain audio quality in harsh environments. A wired ethernet connection also adds the ability to connect management software with the access point via web browsers.

ClearOne’s free support for system design and remote commissioning makes it easier than ever to outfit any presentation space with a professional-quality multi-function audio pickup solution.
