DUET OVERVIEW

Control Panel Buttons Loudspeaker Connector Panel Microphone

THE DUET IS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPEAKERPHONE for desktop use that can cover small to medium room settings. It has a commanding pickup and broadcasting range and is remarkably portable.

The Duet utilizes a high-quality microphone and loudspeaker backed by a powerful DSP that runs advanced echo cancellation and noise suppression technologies.

The Duet's body is made out of aluminum and is exceptionally durable, making it great for travel. It is extremely user-friendly and its plug-and-play design eliminates the need for additional driver installations.

The Duet PCS, which is the USB only model of the Duet family, is a desktop solution specifically geared for Voice over IP (VoIP) conferencing.

This guide will help you learn how to use your speakerphone and will reveal all the features that come with it.

CONNECTING THE DUET

ee buttons.

• Button panel light blinking – unit is on and the microphone is muted.

BASIC UNIT OPERATIONS:

• Turn unit ON: unit is always on when connected to a power source or USB device.
