Polycom®SoundStation Premier®
The ultimate voice conferencing tool
for natural, productive meetings
Handset-like quality sound for offices and conference
rooms – The Polycom SoundStation Premier sets a
new standard in sound quality and conferencing
productivity. It’s twice as loud and twice as quiet
as the Polycom SoundStation.
Twice As Loud
The system’s high performance speaker providers clear, high-fidelity
sound. You will not miss a word of the conversation even in larger
conference rooms.
Twice As Quiet
With the SoundStation Premier’s automatic microphone
switching technology, only the microphone closest to the
person talking is on, limiting extraneous noise from
around the room. Conference participants on
the other end of the conversation will experi-
ence clear, crisp voice quality due to more
sensitive microphones, which pick
up voices from further away.
Polycom’s patented Acoustic
Clarity Technology™
Polycom’s standard Accoustic Clarity Technology, years of expe-
rience and attention to detail provide a conferencing experience
that simply sounds better at both ends of the conversation.
Better sound means clearer communications, more produc-
tive calls and reduced frustration due to the elimination of
clipped words, echoes and extraneous noises.
Unlike many other conferencing solutions, Polycom’s
Accoustic Clarity Technology allows simultaneous
conversation, so you don’t have to wait for some-
one to stop talking before you start talking. Your
conversations will be natural and free flowing –
just as though you were meeting in the
same room.
The quality of your organization’s communi-
cation is critical to your success. For unsurpasse
clarity and performance, there’s one clear choice:
SoundStation Premier from Polycom.
