Polycom Trio™ 8500
The new standard in conference collaboration for
Skype for Business environments
Polycom Trio™ 8500 takes the ordinary conference call experience to the next
level. Getting conference calls started shouldn’t be hard, frustrating or timeconsuming. The sleek and sophisticated design of the Polycom Trio 8500 makes
navigation simpler than ever to use. Easily start calls on time, every time with the
same interface you already use on your Skype for Business desktop client. And with
Polycom’s legendary voice quality, you can be sure every syllable is crystal clear with
Polycom® HD Voice™ technology.
Legendary Voice Quality
Polycom Trio 8500 is equipped with the industry’s most advanced sound
quality including HD Voice and Polycom® Acoustic Clarity™ technologies which

microphones for you. They will automatically unmute when speech is detected,
allowing your conference to keep moving seamlessly.
