USB DESKTOP SPEAKERPHONE

THE DUET IS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPEAKERPHONE for desktop use that can
cover small to medium room settings. It has a commanding pickup and broadcasting
range and is remarkably portable.
The Duet utilizes a high-quality microphone and loudspeaker backed by a powerful
DSP that runs advanced echo cancellation and noise suppression technologies.
The Duet’s body is made out of aluminum and is exceptionally durable, making it
great for travel. It is extremely user-friendly and its plug-and-play design eliminates
the need for additional driver installations.
The Duet PCS, which is the USB only model of the Duet family, is a desktop solution
specifically geared for Voice over IP (VoIP) conferencing.
This guide will help you learn how to use your speakerphone and will reveal all the
features that come with it.

USING THE DUET
The Duet’s control panel has three buttons:
•Mute (in the middle).
•Volume Up (to the right).
•Volume Down (to the left).
LIGHT INDICATIONS:
•Button panel light off - unit is off (not connected).
•Button panel light on – unit is on (connected).
•Button panel light blinking – unit is on and the microphone is muted.
BASIC UNIT OPERATIONS:
•Turn unit ON: unit is always on when connected to a power source or USB device.
• Turn unit OFF: disconnect unit from power source or USB device.
• Mute microphone: push the Mute button once. The button panel light will start blinking.
•Unmute microphone: push the Mute button once. The button panel light will stop
blinking and will stay on.
NOTE: The MUTE button will mute the microphone not the speaker. To mute the
speaker, just use the volume buttons to decrease the volume until no sound is
audible. The volume buttons will control the level of audio heard from the speaker
and not the sensitivity of the Duet’s microphone. To adjust the microphone volume
level, use the Phoenix Audio Setup Utility, which can be found on our website.

The 3.5mm “External Speaker” jack located on the Duet’s connector panel can be
used to connect any type of amplified speakers. The external speakers will be used
by the Duet to play sound and the Duet’s internal speaker will be muted.
