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.
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.
