* Converge 560 allow customers to connect their preferred microphones, such as wireless, tabletop, button and podium using industry-standard XLR connectors.
* The Converge 560 distribution box transports microphone signals over a single Cat 5 cable back to the mixer via distribution boxes significantly reducing on-site wiring complexity and installation time.
* Converge 560 also include an intuitive controller for simple user operation, eliminating the need for more expensive control systems and delivering a much lower total system cost.
