Boasting a stylish, ultramodern design, the Polycom SoundStation Premier is blissfully easy to install and employs state-of-the-art technology for strong performance.
The SoundStation is designed to sit in the middle of a conference room table, preferably in a room no larger than 30 by 40 feet. The wall module power pack includes a short telephone cable that plugs into a modular wall jack. That's it--installation really is that simple, and you're ready to make a call.
If only a couple of people are participating in a call, the SoundStation unit alone, without the extra microphones, should be sufficient. For three or more people, however, you'll want to install the two extended microphones, which provide natural conversation with multiple participants. Polycom recommends that speakers sit at least three feet from the microphones. During our tests, recipients of our calls complained of echoing problems when we sat too close to the mikes. Though the recipients said our voices had that faraway sound often associated with speakerphone calls, the quality of the reception was clear.
If you're holding a call at a large conference table, you'll want to use the remote control to dial, place callers on hold, and control the volume level. You can also use the remote to program up to six numbers into memory. Unfortunately, you can't program numbers on the SoundStation's keypad.
The SoundStation supports three-way conference calling via the flash button, and the wall module features an auxiliary out jack so you can record conversations on a standard tape recorder. The system also supports use of Lavalier wireless microphones.
If you're looking for a phone system conducive to a conference room environment, Polycom's SoundStation Premier is an ideal solution. --John Frederick Moore
Pros:
- Very easy installation
- Clear sound
- Includes extension microphones
Cons:
- Echoing sound when too close to the microphone

Amazon.com Product Description
Meet all your executive teleconferencing needs with the full-duplex Polycom SoundStation Premier. This phone includes two external microphones for extra coverage, ideal for very large rooms and situations demanding the highest audio quality. With conventional, half-duplex speakerphones, only one party can speak at a time without clipping off the other party's voice. Echoes and howling can further disrupt your conversations and lead to costly misunderstandings. But with the SoundStation Premier's full-duplex operation, you can speak naturally and hear both sides of the conversation clearly.The Premier ensures the highest sound quality with three microphones and a digitally tuned speaker for 360-degree coverage of an office or conference room. This model also has two external microphones on either side of the console for more than double the coverage of standard conference phones. The microphones come with two 6-foot round cables for connecting to the console. Polycom's Acoustic Clarity Technology uses digital signal processing with analog telephone lines to eliminate the clipping and fading that plague most speakerphones.
This technology improves speaker and microphone performance over the full bandwidth of the telephone line, 300 Hz to 3,500 Hz. Other features that boost sound quality include dynamic telephone-line echo cancellation, dynamic room-echo cancellation, signal depression, microphone switching, and digital filtering of voice signals. The Premier model also features a separate echo canceler for each of its three console mics, optimized local speech quality, and sub-band echo cancellation for incredible stability, even at maximum volume.
The SoundStation Premier now also comes with a Palm OS software interface, called the SoundStation Premier Dialer. It enables you to access and dial phone numbers directly from the contact manager database within a Palm OS handheld computer (from Palm, Handspring, TRG, IBM, and Sony). The Palm handheld also functions as a remote control, allowing you to control all SoundStation features directly from the Palm handheld.
The Premier EX has a full alphanumeric keypad for dialing, with a mute button and flash key to access functions like hold, conference, and transfer. Other phone features include caller ID, a speed dial, and a 20-digit redial. View call information on the 16-character LCD screen. Access phone and conference settings with the full-function infrared remote control. The Premier works with any analog phone system or with an adapter (sold separately) for digital phone systems. It comes with a wall module, 25-foot power cable, 7-foot telephone cable, and a three-year warranty.
