I was suggesting a "phone-less" solution. Our Polycom phone has a headphone jack and mic input jack that can be plugged directly into the computer's headphone and mic jacks. I believe this is standard across most polycom phones now.We have a: Polycom® SoundStation2™Hope this helps!--AaronOn Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 6:39 PM, Karen Anderson <[log in to unmask]> wrote:
Aaron, do you know if these require digital or analog phone lines? That's another problem we ran into was an incompatibility in that respect. Thanks.On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 4:21 PM, Aaron Zirbes <[log in to unmask]> wrote:
Newer polycom phones can be used as just a mic and speaker setup.

Our weakest link is the microphone. We had a multidirectional microphone (rather old) and unless people actually held it and talked right into it, the sound was not good enough for the remote sites. This would work if it were just a few people but we have a long table with seats for 14 and so it wasn't possible to reach the microphone from one end of the table to another.Can anyone suggest a good microphone, to use with a MAC, for a conference room (not huge but not small either), preferably a USB connector? We want a really powerful one that will pick up voices all around the table. We have another meeting next week where we will be videoconferencing, so I was hoping to maybe purchase something before Thursday.Thanks for any assistance.Karen
