Konftel Launches the Konftel 300 Conference Phone

Konftel is launching the Konftel 300 — a high-tech phone with many innovative features, such as a conference guide, flexible connectivity, the ability to record meetings, and a wireless headset connection. The Konftel 300 is equipped with an upgraded version of Konftel's OmniSound technology, which has evolved to fit large meeting rooms. Development of the Konftel 300 is based on thorough investigations into the features users wanted in a conference phone.

Besides good sound, users also want it to be easier to make multi-party calls, so the Konftel 300 has a conference guide that simplifies that task. The conference guide can store up to 20 groups, simplifying recurring phone meetings, but it also guides you when calling individual numbers.

Besides analog lines, the Konftel 300 can be connected to cell phones and wireless phones, and to computers via a USB port. A line selector makes it easy to switch and combine connection methods.

Software upgrades and other options give the Konftel 300 powerful sound in large meeting rooms and auditoriums. Expansion microphones that double the reception area can be connected, as well as a wireless headset. These are useful options for lectures and also for persons with hearing impairments. The Konftel 300 can also be connected to an existing PA system.

The phone supports SD memory cards, making it possible to record and play back meetings. Since the memory card can be moved to a computer, sound files can be played back, saved, or emailed.

The Konftel 300 has a new Scandinavian design and is equipped with OmniSound 2.0 — the latest version of Konftel's patented OmniSound technology. OmniSound 2.0 uses a 360 degree microphone, three speakers, and advanced software to create the most lifelike sound possible. The technology automatically filters out disturbing background noise and gives a frequency range of up to 7 kHz depending on the connection. OmniSound 2.0 also has an equalizer so users can adjust the sound themselves, selecting from three different pitches: soft, neutral, and hard.

The Konftel 300 will be available in Europe on November 26 and North America on December 17.
