Manufacturer's Response - Polycom VSX 8000

The VSX 8000 system supports Siren 14 Stereo, indicated in the system menus as StereoSurround. This enables audio from both microphone and other connected sources such as VCRs and DVDs to be transmitted in stereo.

Response: Polycom StereoSurround uses two channels of Siren 14 in parallel in the same call. This means that voices from opposite sides of a room in a video call are heard as if they came from that side of the room, in stereo. With the single mic pod stereo feature, you can now use stereo with either only one tabletop microphone or one SoundStation VTX 1000 conference phone. Polycom StereoSurround is available for all VSX systems.

You can enable Polycom StereoSurround with any of these configurations:

• No mic pods
• One mic pod
• Two mic pods
• SoundStation VTX 1000 conference phone with no mic pods

SoundStation VTX 1000

The VTX 1000 may be used to initiate, and hang up a video call from the VSX 8000.
