Introduction - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Introduction

The Polycom SoundStructure™ products are professional, rack-mountable
audio processing devices that set a new standard for audio performance and
conferencing in any style of room. With both monaural and stereo acoustic
echo cancellation capabilities, the SoundStructure conferencing products
provide an immersive conferencing experience that is unparalleled. The
SoundStructure products are easier than ever to install and configure and have
been designed to integrate seamlessly with the Polycom HDX™ video
conferencing system and the Polycom Touch Control™ for the ultimate
experience with HD voice, video, content, and ease of use.
The Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, and C8 audio conferencing devices are
single rack unit devices that have 16 inputs and 16 outputs, 12 inputs and 12
outputs, or 8 inputs and 8 outputs respectively. The SoundStructure SR12 has
12 inputs and 12 outputs and is an audio device for commercial sound
applications that do not require acoustic echo cancellation capabilities. Any
combination of SoundStructure devices can be used together to build systems
up to a total of eight SoundStructure devices and up to one hundred
twenty-eight inputs and one hundred twenty-eight outputs. SoundStructure
products can be used with any style of analog microphone or line-level input
and output sources and are also compatible with the Polycom HDX digital
array microphones.
The SoundStructure products are used in similar applications as Polycom's
Vortex® installed voice products but have additional capabilities including:
• Stereo acoustic echo cancellation on all inputs
• Direct digital integration with the Polycom HDX video conferencing
system
• Feedback elimination on all inputs
• More equalization options available on all inputs, outputs, and submixes
• Dynamics processing on all inputs, outputs, and submixes
• Modular telephony options that can be used with any SoundStructure
device
• Submix processing and as many submixes as inputs
