SPIDER 502 PSTN OVERVIEW The Spider is a high-quality conference speakerphone that will turn any room into a professionally sounding conference room. It has an exceptionally large pickup and broadcasting range, yet is small in size and discreet in design. The Spider utilizes multiple microphones, a uniquely designed speaker, and a powerful DSP to achieve commanding performance.
