Introduction  
Thank you for choosing the Voice Center Conference Phone, a high performance audio conferencing system.  
Its features include:  
Full duplex communication – the Voice Center’s digital speech processing enables simultaneous two-  
way communication. This eliminates clipped sentences and awkward one-way conversations, allowing  
smooth and natural discussion.  
PBX compatible – the Voice Center Conference Phone has the versatility to function with virtually all  
phone systems: standard analog lines, and (with optional digital adapter) even multi-line and digital  
PBX systems.  
360° coverage – three built-in microphones provide 360° coverage so all participants can speak and  
be heard clearly from anywhere in the room.  
Convenient controls – The keypad provides control keys for volume, mute, redial, and “flash” (which  
enables three-way conference calls). LEDs indicate call status and mute operation.  
Expandable – the Voice Center Conference Phone has input jacks for two external microphones for  
use in larger conference rooms, and also includes an RCA output jack so conference calls can be  
recorded.  
For complete specifications, see page 14 of this manual.

3. Analog or Digital Telephone System?  
Caution: if the Voice Center is connected to a digital telephone system using the Analog  
Telephone System Interface, it will not operate correctly, and may cause damage to the AT-101  
Analog Interface and cause it to overheat. It is therefore important to use the correct interface  
for your telephone system.  
How do you determine if your telephone system is analog or digital?  
The best way is to consult the phone system’s documentation or - in a corporate environment -  
to call your company’s teleservices department. Here is additional information to help you deter-  
mine the type of phone system you have.  
Analog  
Analog phones are used for public switched telephone networks -  
plain old telephone service (POTS) from Ma Bell. However, some  
private exchanges support analog telephones, fax machines, and  
modems. Look at the back of your telephone; if it says, “complies  
with Part 68, FCC Rules,” and has a Ringer Equivalence Number  
(REN), the phone and line are analog.  
Front view  
Rear view  
For analog telephone systems, use the Voice Center AT-101  
Analog Interface shown at right (supplied with the Voice Center  
Conference Phone), and follow the installation and operating  
instructions that begin on page 4.

Digital  
Digital telephone systems are usually found in corporate environments.  
Most PBXs (private branch exchanges) are digital. Signs that the  
phone and line are digital: phones with multiple function keys and/or  
multiple lines, the need to dial 9 for an outside line, no fax machines or  
modems connected directly to the phone line. Caution: if analog  
equipment is connected directly to a digital telephone system, it will not  
work, and the equipment can be damaged.

For digital telephone systems, use the Voice Center DT-102 Digital  
Interface shown at right (sold separately from the Voice Center  
Conference Phone). The Digital Interface is the same size and shape  
as the Analog Telephone System Interface, but has different circuitry;  
the Digital Interface can be identified by the 4-position switch on its  
front side. For digital telephone systems, follow the installation and  
operating instructions that begin on page 8.

4. Setup Tips  
• Choose an appropriate location for the Conference Phone.  
– Use the Conference Phone in an environment as free as possible from background noise.  
To minimize echoes, position the conference phone at the center of the room, or at least  
away from walls.  
– Avoid items that could cause noise or acoustic interference.  
• Set up the Conference Phone following the instructions for the type of telephone system you are using:  
– Instructions for an Analog Phone System begin on page 4.  
– Instructions for a Digital Phone System begin on page 5.  
• Make adjustments (as necessary) to obtain optimal acoustic performance.  
Important: The Voice Center Conference Phone's digital sound processing actively responds to  
the acoustic environment. In small and/or reflective rooms, resonance (echoes) can cause  
variable performance. Some small adjustments can dramatically improve results. See page 12  
for tips to improve acoustic performance.

General Setup Tips  
Tips for Obtaining Optimal Acoustic Performance  
To minimize echoes, place the Conference Phone at the center of the room, or at least away from  
walls (at least 20 inches/0.5 m from any wall).  
• It is important to place the Conference Phone on the surface where it will be used before applying  
power. When power is applied to the Conference Phone, it emits a series of self-test tones to auto-  
matically calibrate its performance for the acoustic environment.  
• If you significantly change the acoustic environment (for example, by placing the Conference Phone in  
a different location), cycle the power (unplug the power adapter, then plug it in again). This allows  
the Conference Phone to adapt to its new surroundings and deliver optimal performance.  
• Do not move the Conference Phone during a conversation.  
• Use the Conference Phone in an environment as free as possible from background noise.  
• Whenever possible, keep items that could cause noise or acoustic interference away from the  
Conference Phone and (if used) External Microphones. Items that could compromise audio quality  
include plants, cups, and papers near the microphones.  
• Have speakers direct their voices toward the Conference Phone or (if used) External Microphone.  
• Speak at normal conversational volume.  
To obtain best audio quality, adjust the microphone setup for the room size and arrangement:  
– In a small, closed room without sound-absorbing walls, use the microphone selection switch to  
activate only one of the Conference Phone’s built-in microphones.  
– For large rooms and irregular layouts (such as L-, U-, and T-shaped conference tables), connect  
External Microphones (EM-101 purchased separately).  
Selecting Number of Built-in Microphones That Will Be Active  
The user can select how many of the Conference Phone’s built-in microphones  
will be active - one, two, or all three. The factory setting is three, but in  
smaller rooms and asymmetric conference arrangements, better audio  
quality sometimes can be obtained by deactivating one or two of the built-in  
microphones. The microphone selection switch is located on the underside  
of the Conference Phone, and is labeled “MIC SW.”

3
With setting 3 (the factory default), all three microphones are active. With  
setting 1, only the microphone by the keypad is active. With setting 2, the  
microphones in positions 1 (by the keypad) and 2 are active.

General  
Installation of External Microphones (Optional)  
The Voice Center Conference Phone has 3 built-in microphones for  
complete 360° coverage in areas up to 10 x 15 ft (3 x 4.5 m).  
The Voice Center Conference Phone has RJ-22 input jacks for two external  
microphones to extend coverage in larger areas and to allow for irregular  
layouts. Voice Center External Microphones (Spracht catalog no. EM-101)  
are sold separately from the Voice Center Conference Phone. An EM-101  
External Microphone comes with a 70 inch (1.8 m) cable with RJ-22  
connector (same connector as used for telephone handsets).  
To install an external microphone:  
1. Plug the RJ-22 microphone connector into one of the two microphone  
connectors on the underside of the Conference Phone; the micro-  
phone connectors are labeled “EXTERNAL MIC.”  
2. Place the external microphone at least 18 inches (0.5 m) from the  
Conference Phone and (if present) another external microphone. The  
diagrams below show some common arrangements for external  
microphones with the Conference Phone.  
External microphone  
Conference phone  
Connection of an External Recording Device (Optional)  
The Voice Center Conference Phone provides an RCA jack for connection  
of an external recording device (such as a tape recorder). This  
provides a convenient means to record a teleconference held with  
the Conference Phone, and to obtain the highest quality recording  
possible.  
The connection for the external recording device is an audio RCA  
coaxial connector located on the underside of the Conference Phone.

Spracht Limited Warranty Policy  
Spracht warrants it products against defects or malfunctions in material and workmanship under normal use and service, with the  
exceptions stated below. This warranty lasts for one year from the original date of purchase. Coverage terminates if you sell or  
otherwise transfer the product. In order to keep this warranty in effect, the product must have been handled and used as pre-  
scribed in the instructions accompanying the product.  
Spracht shall (at its option) repair or replace a defective unit covered by this warranty, or shall refund the product purchase price.  
Repair, replacement with a new or reconditioned unit, or refund, as provided under this warranty, is your exclusive remedy. This  
warranty does not cover any damages due to accident, misuse, abuse, or negligence. Spracht shall not be liable for any incidental  
or consequential damages. Some states do not allow limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above  
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are limited in  
duration to the duration of this warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above  
limitation may not apply to you.  
To make a warranty claim, the purchaser must obtain a return authorization number from Spracht (serial number and purchase  
date required), and then return the product to Spracht at purchaser’s expense. A copy of the original dated receipt or shipping  
send an e-mail to [email protected], or contact us at:

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  
Extended Warranty Coverage  
Spracht offers two extended warranties for the Voice Center Conference Phone for an additional charge.  
• The Spracht E-CP-3 extended warranty provides the same coverage as the Limited Warranty set forth above, but extends coverage  
to a 3-year period.  
• The Spracht E-CP-3+ extended warranty extends coverage to 3 years, and also offers advance replacement of a faulty product.  
Spracht will provide a functioning unit within five business days (within the continental U. S.) from the issuance of the RA number;  
you return the faulty product to Spracht after the replacement is received.  
Under both the E-CP-3 and E-CP-3+ extended warranties, Spracht agrees to repair or replace your Voice CenterTM Conference Phone in  
accordance with the terms of the Limited Warranty set forth above for a period of three years from the date of purchase. The extended  
warranties do not cover preventive maintenance, and are subject to the limitations described above with respect to proper use of the  
product by the purchaser. The extended warranties are not transferable and apply only to the original purchaser of the product.  
An extended warranty must be purchased within 30 days of purchase, and may be purchased using a credit card for payment,  
either using the registration and order form enclosed with the product, or by contacting Spracht at 650-318-8061 (be ready with  
all information on the registration and order form)
