Clear Voice Transmission: Gain from excellent voice quality with the 360-degree arranged microphones throughout the entire room. The Phonum Speakerphone features three aligned premium microphone capsules to ensure clear voice transmission on the highest quality level.

Microphone Modes: Phonum has three microphone modes: omnidirectional, cardioid, and beamforming. When the microphone is operating in the beamforming mode, the microphone automatically adjusts to the direction of the person speaking.
