Overview

12 channel output expander

CONVERGE Pro 2 is the industry’s most advanced professional audio DSP platform for conferencing and sound reinforcement applications. It outperforms in any size room, audio environment, and application.

A CONVERGE Pro 2 system can be expandet by deticated input and output units. The CONVERGE Pro 2 120 offers 12 inputs with AEC, USB audio; GPIO, RS232, IP control interfaces; and P-Link and C-Link expansion buses. The CONVERGE Pro 2 012 has 12 outputs, USB audio; GPIO, RS232, IP control interfaces; and P-Link and C-Link expansion buses.

CONVERGE Pro 2 is optimized to work with the Beamforming Mic Array 2 and DIALOG® 20 2-Channel Wireless Microphone System through its native connection.
