A LifeSize system includes a device with one or more microphones for audio input during a
call. Depending on the model and optional peripherals purchased, the system may have one
or more of the following devices.
LifeSize Phone
The LifeSize Phone high definition audio conferencing speakerphone is fully integrated with
LifeSize video communications systems and doubles as the microphone for a video system.
LifeSize Phone provides 16 microphones in a circular array to capture local sound. You can
also use the LifeSize Phone to place and hang up calls.
LifeSize MicPod includes a single omni-directional microphone, mute button and mute
status LEDs.
LifeSize Focus is a camera that includes two omni-directional microphones.
Note: Only one of these devices can be the active microphone during a call. If more than
one type appears to be connected to the system, the Active Microphone field in
the System Information page identifies which device is serving as the active
microphone. To access the System Information page, refer to "The System Menu"
