Phoenix Audio Quattro2 VCA

Phoenix Audio Quattro2 MT-303 USB VCA Conference Phone

The Phoenix Audio Quattro 2 VCA (MT303)is a full-duplex USB conference phone featuring 4 speakers, 4 microphones, and 5 echo cancelers. The Quattro2 VCA is differentiated from the rest of the Quattro2 USB Speakerphones by the addition of RCA jacks to connect to a hardware Video Conferencing System. The RCA connections provide the send and receive signals to the Video Conferencing codec. The three – two position DIP switch next to the RCA jacks allows you to adjust the send level to the codec which varies from system to system, thus optimizing the VCA for use with all systems.

The Quattro2 VCA can also be used to form a bridge between a video conferencing call on a Video Codec Application and a VoIP call over your PC using the USB connection.

The Quattro2 MT-303 USB VCA model includes a video codec module that requires RCA standard cables (not supplied).

Phoenix Audio Quattro2 MT-303 Conference Phone Overview

There is no other speakerphone with such an extended audio pickup and audio broadcasting range. The Quattro2 is brimming with advanced and complicated technology on the inside - but yet very simple and intuitive to use and operate.

Networking Your Quattro2

For VoIP applications the Quattro2 connects directly to your computer through the USB port and works right out of the box. No installation or drivers required. And it supports a sampling rate of up to 44 KHz. At the same time this Phoenix Audio model connects directly to your telephone line and communicates with your PBX in a manner that guarantees robust and optimum performance. A three-way bridge can also be created between your computer, your conferencing room, and your telephone line. This opens many more possibilities to serve your conference needs.

Ease of use

Focus groups have shown that the office product you are most familiar and comfortable with is your telephone. So the Quattro2 incorporates your telephone, your comfort zone, into your conference calling experience. All of your company directory numbers, speed dialing, and conferencing calling features you currently use, are used to make a call. Just initiate the call from your own phone and press one button on the Quattro2 to move the conference over. There is no learning curve or missed feature sets. Everyone is productive the moment they enter the room. If a key pad is required for your application, an external dial pad is available to order.

A better meeting experience.

There is an amazing amount of technology built into the Quattro2 yet it is about half the size of competitive units that do less. Unlike other products that utilize their multiple microphones by gating one of them at any time based on the signal level, the Quattro2 uses all of its four microphones concurrently with a 'beam forming' technology. In simple terms, the Quattro2 uses its microphones to develop a beam directed at the person or persons speaking. This 'Beam' is not just looking for the loudest signal it is actually checking for noise, reverberation, and stray non-voice sounds like key strokes and door slams, and then works to eliminate them. If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the Quattro2 will effectively create several beams and mix them together in a sophisticated way based on each beam's 'Signal voice to Noise Ratio'. This is being re-evaluated thousands of times per second to ensure the best and cleanest possible signal is being sent to the far end.

The Quattro2 also provides high definition, wide band audio onto networks that accept it. Typical phone lines and most competitors in this category have frequency responses of approximately 300 to 3500Hz which lack dynamic range and sound flat. The Quattro2 can provide up to 20 to 20,000Hz for a full sounding conference including all of the voice inflections and nuances that provide for a much more natural and productive meeting experience.

The Quattro2 was built with best in class echo cancelers that provide true full-duplex communication. Most other products either compromise the full duplex performance, limit the loudspeaker sound level, or design the microphone as far as possible from the speaker. Quattro2 echo cancelers work in the confined small space that the Quattro2 is packaged in and with a sound level which is about four times louder than any other product you have experienced before.
