"The Condor was designed with collaboration tools in mind - specifically, whiteboard solutions. It is situted right next to the system's monitor and allows audio pickup from close proximity, as well as full coverage of the entire room. As such, the Condor is the perfect audio endpoint for the Crestron RL 2 system," says Joseph Marash, Phoenix Audio CEO. "The Condor complements the Crestron RL collaboration system to provide a sleek, clutter free, high quality, and easy to install solution."



"Crestron is excited to have certified the Condor Beamforming Microphone Array for use with our award winning Skype for Business room system, Crestron RL 2," said Joseph Sarrasin, Technology Manager, Unified Collaboration at Crestron. "We believe our customers will thoroughly enjoy the excellent Crestron meeting experience when they deploy systems featuring Phoenix Audio's amazing new all-in-one audio device."

More on the Condor


The Condor is a 48-inch wide multi-microphone array with a pickup range of up to 30 feet. It includes a built-in SIP phone, which can be controlled using a dedicated application that runs on smart devices. The Condor deploys multiple directional audio beams, covering an entire room. An additional short range beam picks up audio from presenters standing close to the array. The Condor can easily connect to any video conferencing system, and use any type of speakers, including external soundbars or your monitor's internal speakers. It is DSP-based with a full suite of algorithms that operate on each of the beams, including echo and noise cancellation.
