ClearOne conferencing capabilities empowers Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo
Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, the largest and oldest provider of legal services to the indigent in Western New York, has had an upgrade to its conferencing capabilities with ClearOne’s solutions.
Designed and specified by VeraView LLC’s Brian O’Leary, ClearOne’s beamforming mic array ceiling tile (BMA CT) was installed alongside a ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 48V to allow for different combinations of audio inputs, outputs, network interfaces, peripherals and software for configuration and control.

Both these solutions were chosen specifically to overcome the irregularly shaped room’s acoustical challenges.
“The legal professionals at the Bureau wanted everyone to be involved in meetings, even if they can’t be there in person, so having a reliable conferencing system was a huge factor,” Brian says regarding the choice to opt for the ClearOne BMA CT and CONVERGE Pro 2 48V.
“The system needed to be able to clearly capture all the audio and make sure to mitigate the issues caused by the room’s noisy HVAC system.”
Given the room’s low ceiling, the BMA CT proved an ideal solution as meeting participants can be clearly heard even if moving freely about the room or sitting or standing in any location.
Coupled with the BMA CT, the Converge Pro 2 DSP mixer is a powerful signal processor that adapted to the existing audio characteristics of the room and provided crystal clear audio quality, even for conferencing sessions with 20 to 30 participants.
“This was our very first installation utilizing the BMA CT and Converge Pro 2 DSP together and it definitely was the right choice,” Brian says.
“With the room’s ceiling height and unconventional layout, it made a world of difference to have a solution that blended right in, without sacrificing audio performance.”
He also installed the Unite 150 PTZ cameras in the conference room for the versatility of the devices, supporting USB 3.0 or 2.0 as well as being compatible with popular applications such as COLLABORATE Space, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WebEx, GoToMeeting and more.
