Your Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832
The Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832 Multiplatform Phones provide high‑definition (HD) audio performance and 360-degree coverage for medium to large conference rooms and executive offices. The conference phone has sensitive microphones that let you speak in a normal voice and be clearly heard from up to 10 feet (2.1 m) away.
You can connect two wired expansion microphones or two wireless expansion microphones to the phone to increase coverage in larger conference rooms. The maximum number of microphones is two. Wired and wireless microphones cannot be mixed.
The phone can be used for a 20 x 20 foot (6.1 x 6.1 m) room and up to 10 people. When you add the wired expansion microphones, coverage extends to a 20 x 34 foot (6.1 x 10 m) room and up to 22 people. When you add the wireless expansion microphones, coverage extends to a 20 x 40 foot (6.1 x 12.2m) room and up to 26 people.
You can connect two base units to increase the coverage for a room. This configuration requires the optional Daisy Chain kit and can support two expansion microphones (either wired or wireless, but not a mixed combination). If you are using wired microphones with the Daisy Chain kit, the configuration provides coverage for a room up to 20 x 50 feet (6.1 x 15.2 m) and up to 38 people. If you are using wireless microphones with the Daisy Chain kit, the configuration provides coverage for a room up to 20 x 57 feet (6.1 x 17.4 m) and up to 42 people.
