You can set up and supervise the bridge connections through an attendant con-
sole. Participants can dial into a prearranged conference at a specified time. The 
calls are then connected automatically, or can be screened by the attendant 
before being added to the conference. The attendant can also monitor the trans-
mission quality of any or all of the active conference links. Poor connections can 
be identified, isolated, and re-dialed without interrupting the rest of the confer-
ence.
The bridge design ensures optimum sound clarity on the conference no matter 
how many participants are connected or where they are located. The bridge cir-
cuitry senses any differences in signal strength and electronically balances voice 
levels. It also filters any extraneous noises that could interfere with the confer-
ence.
The Quorum A-28 Conference Bridge allows you to connect up to 28 different 
people on a single conference call. Or you can set up multiple conferences — up 
to four conferences with seven participants each.
The bridge also provides a lecture mode that you can use for one-way broad-
casts. Using the Mute feature, participants can be placed in a listen-only mode, 
allowing one speaker to address the rest of the conference.
SoundStation Audioconferencing Systems
Lucent Technologies’s SoundStation and SoundStation EX Audioconferencing 
Systems enable a group of people in a conference room to share their conversa-
tion with others through a telephone connection. The Soundstation equipment 
permits natural conversation among many people — whether strong or soft, or 
from a standing or sitting position. Integrated components and a stylish tripod 
design make the console an attractive yet unobtrusive conference table center-
piece (Figure 10-3).
