LG-Ericsson has announced a new IP conference phone, the iPECS ACT-50 Audio Conference terminal, as part of the company's existing line for its iPECS-LIK IP telephony and unified communications product family. The company's press release argues that the phone is "designed to make conference calls even clearer than face-to-face meetings," meaning that some company somewhere will soon say its phone sounds clearer that the voices in your head.

Kidding aside, the ACT-50 sports 16 integrated microphones and four speakers and a 20-foot coverage area to help ensure all conference call participants' voice are heard, whether you are right in front of the phone or on the other end of the call. The technology was developed by Yamaha.

The conference unit also has a built-in audio mixer, multiple microphone modes, adaptive echo cancellation and auto tracking to ensure voice quality. It supports LAN, PSTN and audio in/out interfaces, and also can be daisy-chained for use in larger spaces.

The terminal should be a nice addition to the iPECs-LIK product line that LG-Ericsson only recently began selling in the U.S. market.
