Thanks for all the replies.

Actually,

The easiest/quickest connection method was to cut the mike wire, strip it,
and feed the 3 wires into the 3-wire conductor block (Phoenix connector).

Works like a charm!

Thanks again for all the replies.  Now I'm off to figure out how I am going
to feed the computer output through the Polycom unit...
