ClearOne Cameras and Microphones Open New Doors for Renowned Drummer Ron Wikso
Rock drummer Ron Wikso has toured with such iconic performers as Cher, the Steve Miller Band, Foreigner, David Lee Roth, Randy Meisner (the Eagles) and Eddie Money. When he is not touring, he relies on his home studio to get him additional gigs. Because the limited quality of his integrated laptop camera and microphone was impacting Ron's ability to get work when he was not on the road, he decided he needed to upgrade his studio's capabilities. One day, a professional musician friend recommended ClearOne Versa™.

How has technology changed remote collaboration for musicians?
Technology has significantly transformed the music industry by enabling musicians to collaborate remotely through high-speed internet. This shift became especially important during the Covid-19 pandemic when live performances were limited. Musicians can now conduct interviews, record tracks, and even participate in performance videos without meeting in person, allowing for a broader range of creative opportunities.
What equipment did Ron Wikso upgrade for his home studio?
Ron Wikso upgraded his home studio with ClearOne's Versa 50 package, which includes a CHATĀ® 150 speakerphone and a UNITEĀ® 50 4K Ultrawide ePTZ camera. He also added a UNITE 180 4K ePTZ 180-degree Panoramic camera for dual-camera recording. These cameras provide high-quality video, flexible placement options, and features like people tracking, which keeps him in frame as he moves.
What benefits does ClearOne equipment provide for remote work?
ClearOne's equipment enhances remote work by delivering high-definition audio and video quality, which is crucial for effective communication and collaboration. The ability to control camera angles and zoom remotely allows for better visual presentation during calls and recordings. This technology not only improves the overall quality of interactions but also enables musicians to capture more of their studio environment in a single frame.
