Polycom® SoundStation2™
Avaya 2490
Setting the Standard. Again.
Remarkable Voice Quality. Avaya® DEFINITY® Compatibility.
For Avaya DEFINITY users, communicating with crystal clarity couldn’t be
easier. Just connect a SoundStation2 Avaya conference phone directly into
a DEFINITY ECS digital wall jack. You don’t need an analog port, analog
adapter, or complicated connections to take advantage of natural two-way
conversations with Polycom’s breakthrough Acoustic Clarity Technology.
Polycom’s SoundStation2 product line has redefined the standard for
business-quality voice conferencing. With industry-leading full duplex for
natural, simultaneous two-way conversation, the SoundStation2 Avaya
conference phone will exceed your expectations in medium to small
conference rooms. Delivering remarkable voice quality equal to the original
SoundStation Premier® 500D/550D conference phone 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 Avaya conference phone provides users with advanced
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
Avaya conference phone offers 360-degree microphone coverage with
intelligent mixing – so only the microphone closest to the speaker is on
for crystal clear conferencing. It also features technology that resists
interference from mobile phones and other wireless devices, delivering
clear communications with no distractions. Plus, the SoundStation2 Avaya
conference phone provides direct access to your Avaya DEFINITY’s
conferencing feature, allowing quick and easy connections of up to six*
locations in a single conference call without using a conference bridging
service.

connection you will need an adapter (not included).
Connecting the SoundStation2 to a mobile phone
