The Phoenix Audio Quattro2 Finds a Home at Top Universities

June 7, 2010 by Arthur Miller

If you’ve been in any sort of sales or marketing role long enough you know the age old adage that you don’t sell a product, you sell a solution.

There are many reasons for this of course, but the primary reason is that one might think a product only does “X” when it really does “Y and Z” as well.

One such product  is the Phoenix Audio Quattro2. At first glance the Phoenix Audio Quattro2 looks like a USB speakerphone for use with services like Skype or a softphone client.

And the Phoenix Audio Quattro2 performs well for applications such as this. But the Quattro2 is finding a home in school districts, colleges and universities across the US for a number of uses.

One example is the Quattro2 MT-301 being utilized for a video conferencing network consisting of scientists from Penn State, Southern University & AM College, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Purdue University which are all members of a solar energy research center. In this scenario the universities are utilizing  the MT-301 as the default microphone and speaker for the video conferencing system that they are using.

The MT-301 is connected to the local system via USB and within seconds the MT-301 is up and running – no drivers needed! This is important to note because if you’ve ever dabbled with a video conferencing system, you know that there is nothing plug-and-play about them.

According to Chet Swalina, a research associate at Penn State Department of Chemistry, “The Quattro2 was easy to install and so far they have performed well in smaller conference rooms with handfuls of people.”

Thanks to five on-board echo cancellers, the Quattro2 is also finding a home in schools who need to cover a large area with high performance two way audio. One school which asked to remain nameless, is using the Quattro2 MT-304 to cascade multiple “pods.” The largest of these deployment’s is a chain of 13 units in one single classroom!

Due to the value, performance and versatility of the Phoenix Audio Quattro 2 many schools, colleges and universities are putting these  solutions on their bid lists. With the educational buy season just around the corner, if you service these types of accounts, you take a look at the Phoenix Audio line.
