Enjoy clear, understandable conversation in all 
conferencing applications.

The Vortex EF2280 improves audio quality for conferencing, distance learning, and other installed applications

through industry-leading acoustic echo and noise cancellation - with support for up to 8 microphones.

The Vortex EF2280 automatically mixes microphones and other audio sources while cancelling acoustic

echoes and annoying background noise. It is typically installed at each site in a multi-site network and is

commonly used in applications such as boardrooms, courtrooms, distance learning, sound reinforcement, 

and room combining. It connects easily to other equipment such as codecs, VCRs, or other A/V products.  

The unit can be programmed from the front panel, or through Conference Composer™ software (included).

Conference Composer's 

InstantDesigner™ wizard ensures fast, accurate setup for a variety of applications.

A single Vortex EF2280 unit provides automatic mixing of up to eight microphones plus four auxiliary 

audio sources. If more microphones are needed, additional Vortex EF2280 or Vortex EF2241 units can be

linked, up to a total of eight units. Number of Open Microphones (NOM) information can be specified across

all channels in the linked units. The microphone channels feature industry-leading acoustic echo cancellation

to prevent retransmission of signals to their original locations. A neural network Automatic Gain Control

(AGC) reacts only to valid speech patterns, bringing voices within desired levels. AGC controls are user

adjustable, as are settings for the five-band parametric EQ offered on all input and output channels and 

output delay controls.
