SPIDER 505 SIP OVERVIEW
The Spider is a high-quality conference speakerphone that will turn any room into a
professionally sounding conference room. It has an exceptionally large pickup and broadcasting
range, yet is small in size and discreet in design.
The Spider utilizes multiple microphones, a uniquely designed speaker, and a powerful DSP to
achieve commanding performance.
This guide will help you learn how to use your conference phone and will reveal all the features
that come with it.

CONNECTING YOUR SPIDER
CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER
This connection is for any session using your computer, such as Voice over IP applications
(Skype, Vidyo, etc.).
‣Using the USB cable provided, plug the micro USB side of the cable into the Spider
(USB connector located on the connector panel below the unit).
‣Plug the USB end of the cable into any USB port on your computer.
‣Connect the provided Power Supply to the DC connector located on the connector panel
below the unit. Once you plug the Power Supply into a power source, your Spider is
ready for use.
No additional drivers or steps are needed. However, we do recommend downloading and using
our “Phoenix Audio Setup Utility” for optimal audio control and performance. This utility can be
found on our website: www.phnxaudio.com/downloads/audiosetup/
Page 4

CONNECTING TO A SIP/IP LINE
For any session using an IP telephone provider (IP/SIP).
‣Using the Ethernet cable provided, plug one end of the cable into the Spider’s Ethernet
connector (located on the connector panel below the unit).
‣Plug the other end of the cable directly into your Ethernet wall socket.
‣Make sure that the Spider is either plugged into a power source OR that your home or
office is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE).
‣It is important that your Spider is registered with an IP service provider (See the
following Control Portal section).

Page 6

DURING A CALL
THE DIRECTIONAL ARRAY
During a call the Spider uses a proprietary Beamforming technology to locate a legitimate voice
source, and to steer an array towards it. This allows the Spider to focus on the speaker in the
room and to cancel out all other noises. The Beamforming process is dynamic and adjusts the
direction of the array when the source of sound changes or moves. When in a call and a voice is
detected in the room, a single or multiple blue lights located under the grill will indicate which
direction the Spider’s audio beam is focusing on. This is the direction that will be heard best by
the far-end of the call (the person you are talking to).
NOTE: This function can be disabled (see page 12).

same adapter that is used to connect a standard microphone to a Smart device). Select
“External Microphone” in the “Audio Jack Setting” of the Audio Setup Utility. The unit’s internal
speaker and microphones will continue working, along with the external microphone.
SPEAKERS ONLY (OR HEADPHONES)
Connect the external speakers to the 3.5mm connector. The unit’s built-in speaker will be
muted. Make sure that the “Headset” option is selected in the “Audio Jack Setting” of the Audio
Setup Utility (this should be the default).
MICROPHONE AND SPEAKERS (OR HEADPHONES WITH MIC)
Connect your headset into the 3.5mm connector, making sure that the “Headset” option is
selected in the “Audio Jack Setting” of the Audio Setup Utility (this should be the default.)
If you would like to use external speakers and a microphone, wire them the same way a
standard Smart Phone mic’d headphone would be wired.
NOTE: Standard wiring: tip left, ring1 right, ring2 ground, sleeve mic-in
Page 13

PRIVACY MODE
When using a mic’d headset, you can utilize the standard headset button to toggle between
Privacy Mode (Headset Audio) and Speakerphone Mode. This allows you to leave your headset
(or handset) plugged into the device when using the Spider’s built-in microphone and speaker.
When in Privacy Mode the two front red LEDs will blink.
Page 14

DAISY CHAINING
Every Spider comes with a built in ability to connect to other SMART Spiders (MT503) or
Quattro3s (up to 15 units). This feature enables you to provide coverage for larger spaces using
a chain of units.
NOTE: The SIP Spider MT505 can only act as the first or “master” unit and not as a satellite
unit.
Page 15

MAKING THE CONNECTION
‣The SIP Spider will be the master unit. This unit will be the one interfacing for the entire
chain. The master unit will be the only unit communicating with an external device, while
all other units will connect and communicate only with each other.
‣Using either the provided daisy chain cable or any other Ethernet cable, connect one of
the cable ends to the master unit’s daisy chain DOWN connector (the RJ45 connector
marked “Link Down”).
‣Take the other end of the cable and connect it to the next unit’s daisy chain UP
connector (the RJ45 connector marked “UP” or “Link Up”).
‣Repeat the process in order to connect a third unit to unit number 2. This process can be
repeated with up to 15 units regardless of their interface type. All units in the chain must
be Quattro3s or Spiders.
NOTE: The MT505 and MT502 can only be the master unit, or the first unit in the chain.
POWERING THE DAISY CHAIN
Every unit in the chain must be powered. In order to do this, there are two available options:
OPTION 1
Power each unit separately, using its own provided USB cable, DC power supply, or internal
battery (if applicable).
OPTION 2
Power only the master unit using the “Daisy Chain Power Kit” (MT320), or the included 48V
power supply. This setup will require you to connect only the first unit to a power source, and will
allow the rest of the units to feed off the master unit via the Ethernet daisy chain cables.
NOTE: While any Spider or Quattro3 can be daisy chained (regardless of interface), the power
daisy chain method requires all units in the chain to have some type of secondary interface card
(ONLY Quattro3 MT301 will not work). The power daisy chain method will work with up to 8
consecutive units before requiring another power source. The power source can be placed
anywhere in the chain (first, last, or middle units).
