<>More on the Spider



The Spider can communicate through USB interface with any computer under any operating system, in addition to its IP or Analog interface. This allows it to serve as both the IP conference phone and the soft video application speakerphone. Small in size (7" in diameter), the Spider covers a large conference room with pick-up range exceeding 20 feet, and offers unparalleled daisy chaining capabilities to up to 14 satellite units. If expanded coverage is required, the Quattro3 MT304-BLK (sold separately) is designed specifically to connect to The Spider for enhanced pick-up range in any size room.

Key features of the product include crystal clear audio performance and an intuitive user interface. The Spider utilizes an extremely powerful DSP and improved proprietary algorithms, including noise suppression, echo canceling, de-reverb, and beamforming with direction-finding. The Spider incorporates a one-of-a-kind interactive touch button panel and a large OLED display to provide an easy-to-use interface experience. Its voice tracking technique is enhanced through an under-the-grill set of LED that follow a person's direction of speaking and displays the algorithm in action. The Spider will come to life and display only the needed functions depending on the specific scenario to provide a no-hassle audio solution for any conference room. Given these innovative elements, there is no question that The Spider provides the best performance level of all other conference phones on the market.


MSRP for The Spider IP (MT505) is $849.95 and the MSRP for The Spider PSTN (MT502) is $799.95. For more information, contact Phoenix Audio at 818.937.4774 or [email protected].
