Our conference room is approximately 12x12. When we got the base unit and tried it out, people on the other end of the line commented that they could not hear people 5 feet away from the base unit. Hence, we went ahead and bought the extensions to put at the ends of the table. No more comments.

Recommendation is to use the guidelines but order it if after you determine you need it through actual use.

If you have an EXPANDABLE Polycom, such as the Polycom SoundStation2 Expandable Conference Phone (2200-16200-001), then these are the extra 2 mics that go to the far ends of a long table. Make sure you verify you have the Expandable Polycom before you order these. Make sure you have a Polycom before you order these, for that matter -- these are not generic microphones for tape recorders or such.

They work great. I can walk around our long conference room table and the person on the other end can't tell I'm moving.

During one call, someone set a paper on top of one of these mics. That made the sound go all funny to the person on the other end, who said so. When she moved the paper off of the mic, the sound was great again. So don't put things on top of these mics.

The mute button on these mics mutes ALL the mics. The green indicator light turns red on the Polycom and the other mic, indicating that the Polycom is muted. Anyone can mute and unmute pushing the mute on either mic or the center triangle unit.

Bought these to go with our Soundstation 2. They work great. We've had a number of Polycom products over the years. They're pricey, but they always do the job.

I was hesitant on purchasing this item because I needed an extension mic for a large conference table. I could not find the length spec for this extension (how can you not put the length spec on an extension product...). I finally called Polycom and the support person told me it would be 9 feet. WRONG!! That would have worked perfectly but the actual length of the cable, measured from the end of the RJ-11 connector to the mic itself, was only 7 feet (83" to be more precise). Now I have to go and make an extension cable for this extension cable. Polycom does not have anything longer according to their knowledgeable support staff. ;|

Tried the less expensive d-link conference room phone and it just didn't cut - the polycom is MUCH better.

Bought these for work so that we could pick up voices from across a very large conference table and then I called in to a meeting that was using it. I could hear everyone very clearly, so clearly in fact that someone coughing in the room was really working over my ears and they weren't even coughing in the direction of the microphone!

If you're going to be using this in a large room of people, these extensions work wonders.

The part number listed is no longer supported...but there is no mention that a replacement part number was going to be sent instead. I was looking for the discontinued part, but received the replacement part (which doesn't work for me).

Having already used the SoundstationEX system, I knew what to expect, but I have to say I find this system to be vastly improved over the previous version. The mics pick up great in the conference room and the audio quality is excellent. I will definitely continue to buy this product based on its performance and with the prioing offered by Amazon, I will buy from them as well.

The Conference Phone works great. My boss was impressed with the sound quality and I liked the display. Everything came properly packed. Delivery was quick. I highly recommend it.

I had to return this product.
The specifications were not detailed enough when I read the information online. I needed microphones for an audio tape deck (stereo) for documentation. If it were phono or RCA connectors it would have been fine I believe. The connectors on this product were telephone jack connectors. While all the other print information for this Polycom product looked fine, unfortunately it was the wrong choice.
Again, nothing in the online text for the product explained that the connections were telephone connectors.
