Polycom® SoundStation2™ Setting the Standard. Again.

Remarkable Voice Quality. The New Standard for Everyday Conferencing.

The SoundStation2, Polycom's next generation conference phone, is redefining the standard for businessquality voice conferencing. With industry-leading full duplex for natural, simultaneous two-way conversation, the SoundStation2 will exceed your expectations in medium to small conference rooms. Delivering remarkable voice quality equal to the SoundStation Premier® and a 50% increase in microphone sensitivity over the award-winning SoundStation, users can speak in a normal voice and be heard clearly up to ten feet away – making every call a more productive call.

Benefits

• More productive calls – Polycom's patented Acoustic Clarity Technology allows simultaneous, natural, free flowing conversation
   
• Hear and be heard clearly – Twice the loudness and microphone sensitivity of the original SoundStation® eliminate ear strain and repetition
   
• Backlit display provides important information – Displays console phone number, number called, duration/progress of call and supports world-wide Caller ID
   
• Ability to increase coverage – Optional extension microphones expand coverage for larger conference rooms
   
• Easy to use and install – Connects into any analogue phone jack and can be connected to a PABX with an analogue extension
   

You'll also enjoy new features, including a large backlit display that offers easily visible call information and telephone functions. Smart technology, such as Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR), provides maximum microphone sensitivity, while reducing distracting room and background noise. And the SoundStation2 offers 360- degree microphone coverage with intelligent mixing – so only the microphone closest to the speaker is on for crystal clear conferencing. Add traditional telephone features like redial, mute, transfer, and hold and you have a conference phone that's also familiar and easy to use.

Improve the quality and increase the productivity of your next conference call with the Polycom SoundStation2. It's the conference phone you won't stop talking about!

Connecting the SoundStation2 to a mobile phone is analogous to connecting a headset to a mobile phone. Not all mobile phone models recognise the SoundStation2 as a headset.
