| I have had experience with two Phoenix echo canceling speaker microphones. 1) Solo (actually not a speaker). Requires that you connect external speakers. Inexpensive (relatively) at $130 US. Untested by us. 2) Duet PCS. Good with its own built in speaker (two, three, maybe four people in a quite, small room). Excellent with quality sounding external speakers. $150 US. 3) Duet Executive. Good with its own speaker, excellent with external speakers (see PCS above). Has a connector that accepts the _handset_ cable of a regular telephone (excellent idea now that most office phones are digital and many are going to IP telephony but still use a standard RJ-like handset cable). We're having problems getting the handset jack to work. $199 US The performance of these is comparable to the $5000+ Gentner+mic+speaker system in our IG node. There is now a product from Polycom called the Communicator. Clearly aimed at the Phoenix Duet PCS market. Cute and small. Untested. $130 US. Joe On Oct 25, 2006, at 4:29 PM, Jimmy Miklavcic wrote:
