Polycom SOUNDSTATION PREMIER 500D, SOUNDSTATION PREMIER 550D User Manual

With sensitive, high-performance speakers, the
SoundStation Premier

®

500D/550D delivers crisp,
clear sound that’s twice as loud as Polycom’s
original SoundStation. It’s also twice as quiet.
The SoundStation Premier’s automatic microphone
switching technology means that only the micro­phone nearest the person talking is on, limiting
extraneous noise from around the room. And when
you conference multiple endpoint participants
from your SoundStation Premier, you can save on
conference bridging costs, too. In many cases, the
phone pays for itself in less than two months.

For unsurpassed clarity and performance, there’s
one clear choice: SoundStation Premier500D/550D.

For Avaya®DEFINITY®users, communicating with crystal clarity
couldn’t be easier. Just connect a SoundStation Premier 500D/550D 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.

capabilities, The Polycom Office is the only
