Polycom SoundStation2 Expandable Conference Phone

Polycom SoundStation2 Expandable Conference Phone (2200-16200-001) 

The sound quality on receiving in the room was excellent, and the volume was as loud as we needed. Apparently the microphones were also excellent, because those calling in had no difficulty hearing comments from any part of the room.

It's also worth noting we don't actually have any telco-phone lines, and instead use this device as a mic & speaker combo for VOIP (skype, gotomeeting, web-ex). There's a cable that lets you connect to an analog sound card in your computer. The cable is listed separately, (but seemingly unavailable anywhere!) but it turns out not to matter... the new-in-box  SoundStation2  comes with the cable for free.
