SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClearOne (Nasdaq: CLRO), the global provider of audio conferencing products, today announced availability of the Converge SR 1212, a digital audio processor and matrix mixer developed specifically for the professional audio market. The Converge SR 1212 is a professional sound reinforcement product designed for audio applications in auditoriums, conference/meeting rooms, courtrooms, stadiums, arenas, hotel/convention centers, and houses of worship. The Converge SR 1212 is the successor to the PSR 1212 and incorporates new features including fourth-generation proprietary audio processing technologies, simplified configuration tools, and enhanced management features. The ability to link multiple Converge SR 1212s together makes it an ideal choice for virtually any size venue.

"With the Converge SR 1212, ClearOne has applied its experience and expertise to solve many of the problems that cause poor audio quality in sound reinforcement applications," said Scott Woolley , Product Marketing Director, Professional Audio, at ClearOne. "One way we achieved this is with our unique automatic microphone activation process that is only available in ClearOne products. This signal processing reduces the pickup of room noise, reduces feedback and provides a cleaner, crisper sound with better intelligibility."

Shipment of the SR 1212 will begin in early February of 2008.
