 Compatibility.
For Nortel Meridian users, communicating with crystal clarity couldn’t be 
easier. Just connect a SoundStation2 Direct Connect for Nortel conference 
phone directly into a Meridian PBX digital wall jack. You don’t need an analog 
port, analog adapter, or complicated connections to take advantage of 
natural two-way conversations with Polycom’s breakthrough Acoustic Clarity 
Technology. Polycom’s SoundStation2 product line has redefined the standard 
for business-quality voice conferencing. With industry-leading full duplex for
natural, simultaneous two-way conversation, the SoundStation2 Direct 
Connect conference phone will exceed your expectations in medium to small 
conference rooms. Delivering remarkable voice quality equal to the original 
SoundStation Premier® 500D/550D conference phone and a 50% increase 
in microphone sensitivity over the award-winning SoundStation® conference 
phone, users can speak in a normal voice and be heard clearly up to ten feet 
away – making every call a more productive call.
SoundStation2 Direct Connect conference phone provides users with 
advanced features, including a large backlit display that offers easily visible 
call information and telephone functions. Smart technology, such as
Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR), provides maximum microphone 
sensitivity, while reducing distracting room and background noise. And 
the SoundStation2 Direct Connect conference phone offers 360-degree 
microphone coverage with intelligent mixing – so only the microphone closest 
to the speaker is on for crystal clear conferencing. It also features technology 
that resists interference from mobile phones and other wireless devices, 
delivering clear communications with no distractions. Plus, the SoundStation2 
Direct Connect conference phone provides direct access to your Meridian 
PBX conferencing feature, allowing quick and easy connections of up to six* 
locations in a single conference call without using a conference bridging 
service.
