network, the media station speakerphone or wired handset provides unmatched audio quality.
Bluetooth
You can connect your smart device to the media station using Bluetooth to provide a high-quality
speakerphone when making calls on your device. You can also use Bluetooth for playing audio
streams from your device. As with all Bluetooth devices, audio quality can vary based on the quality
of the Bluetooth signal from the smart device.
Important:
You can pair many smart devices with a media station, but only one can be active at a time.
High-quality sound
The Avaya E169 IP Media Station speakerphone and microphones provide unmatched sound
quality. The media station has six broadband speakers, four digital microphones, and one passive
radiator. This unique and innovative acoustic design uses the speakerphone in hands-free mode
with unequaled quality. You can use the media station for large conference calls or listen to your
music or podcasts.
These innovative technologies improve performance by using wide-band or high definition codec G.
722. Conventional telephony encodes speech at bandwidths ranging from 300 Hz to 3400 Hz. As a
result, the media station only transmits the most essential part of the human voice. The media
station encodes the human voice using bandwidths ranging to 8 kHz. These bandwidths also pick
up voice harmonics: the natural quality of the human voice, a sense of the physical presence of the
speaker, and the space around the person.
You can discern every nuance of the human voice. The media station reduces nasal sounds and
you can discern similar sounding consonants such as S and F. You no longer need to repeat as
your conferences are now crystal clear and stress-free.
Power to charge your smart devices
The media station uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) and an optional AC power adapter. The power
adapter has four snap-in connectors that are compatible with sockets used in several countries and
regions. With this power arrangement, you can charge your smart devices when you connect your
devices to the media station. Smart devices charge more quickly when using the media station AC
adapter than when using only PoE.
