How to use the demo suitcase

Sound quality

The stations in the stand are located very close to each other, and it is hard to give a good demo of the AlphaCom XE sound quality. If you going to demo the sound quality it is better to place the IP Desktop station on a remote location, and make calls to or from the IP Desktop.
