RAV-Ware overview

ClearOne’s RAV-Ware software provides an easy interface for configuring system settings and customizing the audio in your RAV 600/900 conferencing system. While the RAV system is designed to work out of the box for audio conferencing, RAV-Ware is required to adjust audio levels and equalizer settings for the RAV components as well as the auxiliary audio devices. Once installed, RAV-Ware allows configuration locally through USB or RS-232 con- nection, or remotely through the Ethernet connection.
