-enabled voice conferencing designed for offices and small meeting spaces
The Polycom VoiceStation 500 is a small Bluetooth-enabled conference phone ideally suited for desktops, offices, and other small rooms. With a microphone range of up to seven feet, the VoiceStation 500 is perfect for small conferences with three to four participants. Plus its compact industrial design fits well on a desk or small table, making it a great solution for offices.
With the VoiceStation 500, you can enjoy Polycom’s legendary voice quality at an affordable price.
Use your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to connect wirelessly to the
VoiceStation 500 for hands-free voice conferencing. It can also connect to a
Bluetooth-enabled computer for high-quality hands-free conferencing over
Internet calling services such as Skype. If your mobile phone or computer is not Bluetooth-enabled, simply use the integrated 2.5mm applications port for wired connections.
Featuring Polycom’s award-winning Acoustic Clarity Technology, the
VoiceStation 500 delivers significantly improved voice quality over the previous-generation VoiceStation 100. The VoiceStation 500 features three sensitive microphones that offer 360-degree room coverage. Smart technology, such as Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR), provides maximum microphone sensitivity, while reducing distracting room and background noise. It also features technology that resists interference from mobile phones and other wireless devices, delivering clear communications with no distractions. Plus, Polycom’s legendary full-duplex technology ensures that everyone on the call can be heard.
Convenient controls for Bluetooth, volume adjustment, mute, redial, flash and hold are located on an intuitive, easy-to-use keypad. When dialing over regular phone lines, a handset phone can be plugged in for private calls, or simply switch back to the VoiceStation 500 for hands-free conversations.
