cancellation capabilities, the SoundStructure conferencing products provide
an immersive conferencing experience that is unparalleled. The
SoundStructure products are easier than ever to install and configure and have

applications that do not require acoustic echo cancellation capabilities. Any
combination of SoundStructure devices can be used together to build systems
up to a total of eight SoundStructure devices and up to one hundred
twenty-eight inputs and one hundred twenty-eight outputs 1 . SoundStructure
products can be used with any style of microphone or line-level input and
output sources and also have been designed to be compatible with the
