Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Remarkable voice quality. The new standard for everyday conferencing. The SoundStation2, Polycom's next generation conference phone, is redefining the standard for business-quality 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.

SoundStation2 provides users with 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Phone, May 25, 2007

This phone is a good quality phone. When on speaker, typically during conference calls, the sound is crystal clear. And the people on the other end have no trouble at all distinguishing your words. I also purchased the 2 additional mics which compliment quite well. If you plan on getting the mics, make sure you get the expandable version of this Polycom SoundStation2. There are many versions that are similar to this one, and it's easy to get them confused. I definitely recommend this phone!

3.0 out of 5 stars Works on only a SINGLE phone line!!!, July 18, 2008

I purchased this unit plus the additional microphones and it is a great unit with a good price. We haven't even used it but are returning it! None of the literature on this site or even on the Polycom site explains that it will ONLY work on a single phone line. We have analog lines so that was not an issue. However like any business, we have multiple lines. And, this unit cannot work on a multi-line system. It worked fine when I hooked to our fax line. But NO dial tone when hooked to any other phone jack in our building. It is a shame that the company does NOT provide this critical key piece of information. I think this is true of ALL of their products. For the cost of the equipment, this should be disclosed!!!

We purchased product for board meetings involving 15 persons, several of whom call in from remote locations.

The sound quality on receiving in the room was excellent, and the volume was as loud as we needed. Apparently the microphones were also excellent, because those calling in had no difficulty hearing comments from any part of the room.
