Polycom Soundstation 7000 review
Polycom is a name synonymous with audio and video conferencing solutions and it’s a fairly safe bet that if you look in the board room of any large company you stand a good chance of seeing one of their products.
Their analogue products had a great reputation for quality and as the move to IP based telephony continues it’s great to see Polycom aren’t being left behind!
The Polycom Soundstation 7000 is Polycom’s latest VoIP conference phone. It is a full duplex device that both looks nice and also performs extremely well.
The unit features a large backlit LCD screen and a generous sized keypad. The Soundstation 7000 has two connectors for additional microphones and also features a 2.5mm audio connector for connecting the unit directly to a mobile phone or PC.
With an appropriate cable this allows the unit becomes a speakerphone for a mobile phone or allows you to connect directly to the soundcard of a PC and use the Soundstation with a PC based softphone client or sending audio from any other PC application. The unit has no power socket but instead is powered solely by the Ethernet port and is compliant with the 802.3af PoE standard. A PoE injector and AC power adapter are included with the product if you don’t have a suitable PoE switch.
