Polycom is one of the leaders in the conference speaker industry. SoundStation2 is their next gen model and it is taking the boardroom by storm. Designed to work best in small to medium sized rooms, it has full duplex technology. If a business is looking for a conference room speaker phone that provides great simultaneous conversation coverage, this model is well worth consideration.
Voice quality is what sets SoundStation2 apart from other similar speaker options. This can be attributed to a whopping 50% improvement in the mike sensitivity compared to their orginal SoundStation. It is possible to clearly hear all conference participants speaking in normal volume levels even when they are fully ten feet away from the table unit.
Lots of new options come with this conference speaker phone including an oversized lit display for incoming numbers and phone set functions. All of the regular phone stuff is here, including the all important mute button, a must for the conference call that requires offline color commentary. The mike has 360 degree coverage so that only the one closest to the person talking is on at any given time.
Polycom touts their smart techie side with a function called Dynamic Noise Reduction. What this means to the layperson is that the microphones are extremely sensitive but also capable of screening and reducing background sounds. Nothing is more annoying than the sounds of traffic or trucks backing up during a heated conference meeting.
This conference speaker phone has also become a favorite of home office users because of the smart noise reduction feature. All too often those working from home must contend with background sounds that do not always signify the professional approach the conference participant is trying to portray. While there are less expensive models available in the online marketplace, putting up a few extra dollars for this phone’s capabilities and quality is well worth it.
