provides full duplex (two-way audio) and efficient echo cancellation and static reduction.

communication software usually leaves the audio processing to the Avaya B109, resulting
in better sound quality. This can also be manually adjusted

may be some factors that limit the sound quality, depending on the equipment in the

automatically to music mode so that the sound is not altered by OmniSound
