Overview

4 x 8 Professional Audio DSP Mixer with AEC, VoIP, Telephone interface

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.

The 48 model mixer base configruation has 4 inputs with AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation), 8 outputs, USB audio; GPIO, RS232, IP control interfaces; and P-Link and C-Link expansion buses. The different models extend the connectivity of the base configuration with Dante digital audio interfaces, a built-in Telephone interface and a built-in VoIP/Skype for Business interface.

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.
