ClearOne Inc. designs and sells conferencing, collaboration, and AV networking products used for professional voice and visual communications. Its core business has historically centered on audio conferencing systems and microphones sold through the professional audio-visual channel, with additional offerings in video collaboration and networked AV products. In 2025, the company announced a strategic plan to sell a significant portion of its operating assets and reduce continuing operations to warranty and product support, which materially changes the business profile. As a result, ClearOne is transitioning away from an operating product company toward a much smaller support-focused entity while it pursues a strategic transaction.
