Overview 
 
The SoundStation VTX 1000 from Polycom is the world’s most advanced conference 
phone, featuring best-in-class voice quality and microphone coverage.  With an 
industry-leading 20 foot microphone coverage (even more with the addition of 
expansion microphones), the SoundStation VTX 1000 is the ideal conference phone for 
use in large rooms and auditoriums. 
 
For many larger room environments, such as board rooms, auditoriums, training rooms, 
and similar facilities, the Vortex line of installed voice products is your best choice.  
Vortex provides multiple microphones and speakers embedded throughout the room, 
with cables hidden out of sight from the participants.  
 
However, for larger rooms that may not need an installed system, adding external 
speakers to the SoundStation VTX 1000 provides sound reinforcement during both 
narrowband and wideband calls so everyone in the room can clearly hear all of the 
participants.   
 
The SoundStation VTX 1000 features an auxiliary-out port that can drive a set of 
external speakers.  The speakers would be used in place of the included subwoofer.  
Connecting a speaker system requires a set of adapters, which are all included in the 
External Speaker Integration Kit.  This kit includes the necessary adapters and cables 
that are required for speaker systems with a 3.5” stereo plug to connect to the mono 
RCA-style AUX-out port on the VTX 1000 wall module. 
 
Polycom does not sell third-party speaker sets, but recommends the Cambridge 
SoundWorks MicroWorks
