The Eclipse System


Speakerphones have many advantages, but using them is seldom satisfying. Distorted sound, lost words, questions to be repeated and misunderstandings, are some of the annoying problems.

Now, you finally have a choice: Eclipse gives you all the advantages a speakerphone is intended to have. With Eclipse you can use your phone and have both hands free to use your PC, find papers or files, etc., while talking on the phone. You may ask your co-workers to participate, or you may even walk around in your office while you speak.

Speakerphones on the market usually operate in half duplex, which means that you must talk and listen alternately and cannot do both at the same time. Interruptions cause problems. The person with the loudest voice always wins. With Eclipse this problem is eliminated, because the sound travels in both directions at the same time - also called full duplex operation. This is made possible due to the «state-of-the-art» technology. Using Eclipse is almost like talking face to face.

Use It with Any Type of Phone
Eclipse connects to your phone in the same way a headset does. You can use it with analogue, ISDN, IP or system phones, and even GSM and mobile DECT phones with headset or hands-free outlets.

Expansion without Cables
Eclipse is small enough to be placed next to your phone and large enough to provide excellent quality.

In larger rooms it can easily be expanded with wireless satellite units – this enhances the sound quality, because the microphones pick up the signal at a close range and also reduce background noise to a minimum. The satellites use rechargeable batteries and a unique infrared voice link to communicate with the Eclipse Master.

The infrared link is designed to operate on reflections from walls and ceiling, allowing the satellites to be positioned anywhere in the room. They do not require a «direct line» to the master. The unit’s remote control allows you to individually adjust the sound level and mute the microphones.

Full Freedom
With Eclipse power pack and a GSM or mobile DECT phone, you can use Eclipse just about anywhere. There is no need to hook up to a phone wall sockets or look for a power outlet. Enjoy the loudspeaking qualities of Eclipse anywhere in your office, at home, or when travelling.

An Investment with Excellent Payoff
Eclipse is your personal conference phone, which is easy, fun, and convenient to use. You may once in a while substitute a business trip for a teleconference, and save time and money. Eclipse pays for itself from the savings of a single business trip.

Design Award
Eclipse received the Norwegian Design Council’s design award for its attractive appearance and good functionality. Try it yourself and experience the difference.

More Than Just a "Speaker"...
Inside Eclipse you find the master board with a powerful digital signal processor (DSP). It is this unit - with its sophisticated software - that makes full duplex conferencing possible. As a result, both the speaker and the microphone are active simultaneously – you can speak and listen at the same time. The vertically mounted board communicates to and from the satellites via the unique infrared voice link.
