agree that the ASPI EF 400 may not be suited for conference rooms with 3-5
people. Our intent in trying it out was for PIG systems being used by 1-2
people. For this purpose the one-mic setup works fine. There's a
caveat, however: when the speakers and microphone are near each other,
especially in a confined space, the EF400 is easily overpowered and can't
function effictively. Thus, it's only effective in a larger space where
the speakers can be relatively far away. We're still looking for a good
setup to solve this problem. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

challenge aside, the audio quality it gives is far superior to the soundstation
premier or other products. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

would be needed to get a good signal from a medium sized conference

the Regency club - what a difference.. We are testing a new
device through ASPI that is for a single user. I will get you the
information - but it is much better then then the Polycom device. We
have also tested headsets from Sennheiser (Modified Pilot headset - bad);
Koss; Plantronics and they were all bad. </SPAN></FONT></P>
