Diagnostics
To test the SoundStation VTX 1000’s 
microphones from within the Mic Test 
portion of the Diagnostics section, 
highlight the microphone you wish 
to test, and then press the SELECT button. 
The microphones are numbered according 
to the diagram below:
Mic Test
 That microphone’s LED 
will light up red.
 That microphone will begin sampling 
at a 1 Hz rate, 50% duty cycle. 
 The display will show a meter that 
modulates according to the relative

 If a microphone’s meter indicates 
that it is receiving an atypically low 
or high sample, despite appropriately 
controlled input, contact Polycom 
Technical Support.

From the Console Speaker Test portion 
of the Diagnostics section, you can select 
an acoustic test signal to drive through 
the SoundStation VTX 1000’s speaker
for speaker testing and to sample the 
room acoustics.
Highlight the desired signal, and press 
the SELECT button soft key to activate the 
signal. 
 Sine Sweep is a test signal consisting of 
a 100 Hz to 14,000 Hz sine wave whose 
frequency is swept according to a linear 
progression of frequency as a function 
of time, or (t)=A∗sin(kt).
 One kHz Tone is a constant tone 
generated at exactly 1000 Hz.
 White Noise is a signal whose energy 
is distributed uniformly among all 
frequencies within a band of interest, 
which for the SoundStation VTX 1000 
is 100 Hz to 14,000 Hz.

The External Speaker Test portion of the 
Diagnostics section works just as described 
above but drives the signal through the 
audio output device you have connected, 
such as a speaker, subwoofer, or PA 
system. (See the Connection Diagram, 
pg. 31, for setup of audio output devices. 
See also “Aux Output,” pg. 19, 
for information on configuration.)
Note: The External Speaker Test signals 
can be used for the VTX Subwoofer 
(see “Using the VTX Subwoofer,” pg. 22, 
and also see “Aux Output,” pg. 19, for 
information on configuration), but output
signal levels with the Subwoofer will not 
exceed 300 Hz.
