Audio Settings
From the Audio Settings menu one can set loudspeaker level of the internal speaker, as well as Line Out level and the output level on any accessories connected (e.g. handset or headset).
In addition one can enable Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), Automatic Volume Control (AVC) and Automatic Gain Control (AGC). Note that not all these features are available for all device types.
and enabling and microphone related options, tone volume, automatic volume control, noise reduction, line in/out settings, ringing tones, and other. Select SIP Configuration > Audio Settings to access the page for configuring Audio parameters.
Normal Mode
Normal mode is the default view in the device web interface. This gives access to some basic settings. For more advanced functionality, advanced mode must be enabled (see next section)
Item | Description | Range | Default | Accessory |
Internal Loudspeaker | Set speaker volume level | -10 - +18 (dB) | 0 | |
Line Out | Set Line Out gain level | -20 - +20 (dB) | 0 | |
Handset Loudspeaker | Set Handset loudspeaker gain level | -15 - +6 (dB) | 0 | Handset |
Headset Loudspeaker | Set Headset loudspeaker gain level | -15 - +6 (dB) | 0 | Headset |
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) | If speech level and environmental noise are very unstable it may be turned on | Disabled | ||
ANC (Automatic Noise Cancellation) | Feature to remove background noise from the microphone signal | Enabled | ||
AVC (Automatic Volume Control) | Check this box to automatically adjust the volume according to the background noise level | Disabled | ||
Advanced Mode
When selecting Advanced Mode the Audio Settings menu change, and is divided into three main sections as shown in the image below:
By clicking on the yellow FACTORY RESET AUDIO SETTINGS all audio settings are reverted to factory default. This includes DAVC, VAD (Sound Detection) and Tone Test settings
Click on the wanted bar to expand the menu and view the options.

IP Intercom
The IP-station audio output has been normalized based on ITU recommendations. The input signal which is used for the output measurements is an ITU Voice Signal with an average RMS energy of -23 dBFS. Output levels are measured at a distance of 0.5 meter. The actual SPL of the IP-CROR station is 3 dB lower than indicated in the table below due to the covering of the speaker grill with a foil.
Kit output levels are based on the same speaker arrangement as for the comparable station.
