SALT LAKE CITY, June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClearOne today announced that the company will introduce two new audio conferencing products at InfoComm 2006 -- the Chat 150(TM) and the Converge Pro(TM) platform. An advance look at the two products will be available for all InfoComm attendees prior to their upcoming scheduled launch dates.

The Chat(TM) 150 is a speaker phone designed for individual or small group use that connects to enterprise phones, PCs, and video conferencing systems for rich, full-duplex audio communications. The Chat(TM) 150 has the ability to transform a desktop enterprise phone into a high-quality conference phone. One key benefit is that users have full access to the call management features of their existing phones, such as company phone directory access and audio bridge dialing, while replacing their poor built-in speakerphones with something far superior.

"ClearOne believes that all conference calls should have the clarity and convenience that can only be delivered through high-quality audio conferencing technology," said Joe Sorrentino, ClearOne's vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. "We are very pleased to introduce the Chat(TM) 150 to the ClearOne family. The Chat(TM) 150 offers the professional-grade audio conferencing technology that our customers enjoy in the board room, delivers it in a sleek, compact form factor that complements the PCs and telephones it connects to, and enables high-quality audio conferencing in ways that have not been possible up until now."

ClearOne will also introduce a significant addition to its professional conference line with the next-generation Converge Pro(TM) series of professional-grade conferencing systems. Expected to eventually replace the popular XAP series of audio conferencing systems, the new Converge Pro(TM) series delivers significant feature set and performance improvements including unprecedented acoustical echo cancellation, noise cancellation, duplex performance and enhanced management capabilities, and simplified configuration utilities.

"The Converge Pro(TM) is a vivid example of how ClearOne continues to drive innovation and ease of use in the audio conferencing space," added Sorrentino. "The Converge Pro(TM) series of professional audio systems continues our tradition of leadership in the professional conferencing category, and will set a new standard of performance and flexibility for our channel partners and customers."

The Converge Pro(TM) and Chat(TM) 150 products will be available for demonstration at InfoComm. The Chat(TM)150 is scheduled to begin shipping in August 2006, and the Converge Pro(TM) platform is scheduled to begin shipping by Q4 2006. ClearOne's president and CEO Zee Hakimoglu, along with ClearOne's senior product, sales, and marketing personnel will be available during InfoComm to speak about ClearOne's exciting product line and latest technological advancements, as well as the audio conferencing market, VoIP adoption, and industry trends.
