Just about everyone has been on a conference call struggling to hear the person who’s speaking softly into a microphone that’s halfway across the table or sliding a phone around the table as different speakers offer their opinions. Those days are now gone.

The Revolabs FLX wireless conference phone is designed specifically for small and mid-sized conference rooms, executive offices, and SoHo environments.

The Skinny: Based on the Revolabs’ wireless audio technology that for years has delivered superior sound quality for audio and video conferencing to large conference rooms and boardrooms, the FLX brings exceptional performance to smaller settings at an affordable price.

Specs: Combining wireless operation, high-quality wide-band audio, 128-bit encryption, integrated Bluetooth, support for analog and IP, and a competitive price point, the FLX redefines the conference speakerphone.

Details: Available with a variety of compatible Revolabs microphones, the FLX includes a lapel microphone worn by one person; an omni-directional tabletop microphone that captures the sound of six to 10 participants; and a directional tabletop microphone that enables audio capture from two to three people. Because the FLX dialer operates like a telephone for handset calls and enables the setup of conference calls, there is no need for a separate desk and conference phone.

The Revolabs FLX can also serve as the audio interface with virtually any major brand of video conferencing equipment, providing the same high audio performance within video calls. Callers without Internet access can have their phone calls bridged into the video session anytime.

The system began shipping in July in the U.S. and has an MSRP of $1,185. FLX, which can be used with video conferencing systems and Bluetooth devices, will soon have a VoIP version.
