In addition to the Polycom microphone or SoundStation VTX 1000®
conference phone, you can connect other powered microphones directly to the
system's audio inputs.
You can connect two powered microphones directly to the VSX 8000 system,
or you can connect several studio-type microphones to the VSX 8000 system
through an audio mixer.
Connecting a Polycom Vortex mixer to VSX set-top or component systems
provides flexibility in audio set-up. For example, it allows you to provide a
microphone for each call participant in a boardroom.
The VSX 8000 is designed to work with Polycom Vortex mixers. For top
performance, you need Vortex firmware 2.5.2 or later, Conference
Composer™ version 2.7.0 or later, and VSX system software version 8.5 or
later. Refer to your system's setup sheet for connection details.
You can connect desktop speakers to provide better audio for the VSX 3000A
system if you place it in a large room, or you can connect headphones to listen
to calls privately. The system's speaker connector is on the system's right side
panel, and the headphone connector is on the front of the system.
Refer to your system's setup sheet for connection details.
If you have a VSX 5000, you must connect speakers to play audio from the far
site. You can use the speakers built into the main monitor.
The other set-top systems have built-in speakers. You can connect an external
speaker system such as the Polycom StereoSurround kit to provide more
volume and richer sound in large rooms. Refer to your system's setup sheet for
connection details.
