To configure stereo settings:

1.

Go to System > Admin Settings >Audio > Stereo Settings.

2.

Configure these settings on the Stereo Settings screen:

Audio Meters

The audio meters in the user interface allow you to identify left and right

channels. The meters also indicate peak signal levels. Set signal levels so that

you see peaks between +3 dB and +7 dB with normal speech and program

material. Occasional peaks of +12 dB to +16 dB with loud transient noises are

acceptable. If you see +20 on the audio meter, the audio signal is 0 dBFS and

the audio might be distorted.

Testing StereoSurround

After you configure the system to use Polycom StereoSurround, test the

system configuration and place a test call.

To test your stereo configuration:

1.

Go to System > Admin Settings > Audio > Stereo Settings.
Make sure the microphones are positioned correctly.

2.

Go to System > Admin Settings > Audio > Stereo Settings.
Gently blow on the left leg and right leg of each Polycom microphone

while watching the Left and Right meters to identify the left and right

inputs.

3.

Go to System > Admin Settings > Audio > Stereo Settings >

.

Test the speakers to check volume and verify that audio cables are

connected. If the system is in a call, the far site hears the tone.
Exchange the right and left speakers if they are reversed.
Adjust the volume control on your external audio amplifier so that the test

tone sounds as loud as a person speaking in the room. If you are using a

Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, it should measure about 80-90 dBA in

the middle of the room.
