Design Guide for the Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, C8, and SR12
7 - 6
Combining C-series and SR12 devices
C-series devices may be linked with SR12 devices for up to a total of eight
SoundStructure devices. When a SoundStructure SR12 is used with C-series
products, the SR12 should be used only to support additional non-microphone
inputs such as additional program audio sources or to support additional
output signals such as for driving additional loudspeaker zones or other out-
puts as shown in the following figure.
The SoundStructure SR12 does not include acoustic echo cancellation process-
ing on the microphone inputs. Do not use an SR12 to add more conferencing
microphones to an installation as the acoustic echoes will not be removed by
the SR12. Use additional SoundStructure C-series units if necessary to add
additional conferencing microphones to a SoundStructure system.

Do not use an SR12 to add conferencing microphones to a SoundStructure
C-series conferencing design. The SR12 does not include acoustic echo
cancellation processing and any microphones used in a conferencing application
that are connected to the SR12 will have a strong acoustic echo that can only be
removed by connecting those microphones to a SoundStructure C-series product.
