Speaker Placement to Receive Stereo from Far Sites

The Polycom StereoSurround kit is designed for use with Polycom RealPresence Group systems. It
includes two speakers and a subwoofer.
When a RealPresence Group system is configured for Polycom StereoSurround, the audio inputs and
outputs are all treated as stereo. Otherwise, all audio inputs and outputs are mono.
When you set up the system for StereoSurround, the left microphone and speaker should be on the left from
the local room perspective. Place the speaker connected to the audio system's right channel on the right
side of the system, and the other speaker on the left side. The system reverses the left and right channels
for the far site, as shown in the following illustration. This ensures that the sound comes from the appropriate
side of the room.
