Overview of Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832
The Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832 enhances people-centric collaboration by delivering easy-to-use audio conferencing with astounding voice quality and clarity. Newly developed microphones and loudspeakers provide the richest sound of any conference phone on the market. Our unique acoustic design includes a “studio-monitor” full-range speaker. This loudspeaker architecture provides a dynamic, detailed sound with low distortion and low-frequency clarity, making conferencing an in-person experience with exceptionally clear and natural audio quality. ( Figure 1).

Figure 1. Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832 and extension microphones

The Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832 is a simple, flexible, scalable solution that meets the challenges of most types of rooms. It provides flexible deployment expansion by using an optional extension microphone kit (wired or wireless) and an optional daisy chain kit. The wireless extension microphone kit uses Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) technology.

Depending on your region/country, different versions of the 8832 base unit are available (for compliance with country-specific wireless spectrums).

Table 2. Available optional 8832 kits

Two wired microphones are installed to the primary speaker base unit If a secondary (daisy chain) base kit is configured, then one wired microphone is installed to the primary base and the other wired microphone is installed to the secondary (daisy chain) base.
Note : Wired and wireless microphones cannot be mixed and installed together.

Cisco 8832  Wireless Microphone Kit (e.g. CP-8832-MICWLS= for North America)| Includes two wireless microphones, a charging tray, an 18W power adapter, and a USB-C cable| Two wireless microphones were installed to the primary speaker base unit
Note : Wired and wireless microphones cannot be mixed and installed together.
Cisco 8832 Daisy Chain Kit (e.g. CP-8832-DC= for North America)| Includes a smart adapter, a 36W power adapter, and three USB-C cables|

Only two 8832 units can be tethered together.
The user has the option to add either a wired microphone kit or a wireless microphone kit for expansion. The maximum number of microphones is two. Wired and wireless microphones cannot be mixed.

Room considerations for the Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832
Table 3 lists the maximum recommended room sizes for optimal 8832 audio coverage. Every conference room has different acoustic characteristics. Conference rooms with high-reverberation acoustics will drastically decrease these numbers. Acoustic reverberation is caused by hard surfaces such as glass walls and hard-surface flooring. If you suspect that your conference room has high-reverberation acoustics, then you must test with the 8832 and
optional wired or wireless microphone kits and/or secondary base kit to determine maximum optimal audio coverage. For best results, testing should be done by adding and subtracting the wired or wireless microphone kit and/or the secondary base kit. The recommended maximum room sizes in Table 3 assume a rectangular room and a rectangular table located in the middle with a maximum conference room ceiling height of 10 feet.

Table 3. Maximum recommended room sizes

Supported configurations| Recommended maximum room size and number of people for optimal audio performance| Power considerations
---|---|---
Cisco 8832 base unit| 20 x 20 ft
400 sq ft
Up to 10 people| Power over Ethernet (PoE) option
Non-PoE option
Wi-Fi option
Cisco 8832 base unit with a wired
microphone kit (each kit contains 2 mics)| 20 x 34 ft
680 sq ft
Up to 22 people
Note : The length of the cable for each wired microphone is 7 ft; therefore, the assumption
for this maximum coverage area is with the
wired extension microphones located 7 ft awafrom the base. Extension microphones can be
located anywhere from 3 to 7 ft away from the base.| Same as above
8832 base unit with a wireless microphone kit (each kit contains 2 mics)| 20 x 40 ft
800 sq ft
Up to 26 people
Note: In order to have full room coverage,
meaning a talker’s voice could be picked up
from anywhere within a 20- by 40-ft conference
room, the assumption is that each wireless
extension microphone would be placed a
maximum 10 ft away from the base.
However, if full talker voice does not need to
be evenly covered across a conference room,
wireless microphones can be placed as far away as 100 ft from the base. The limiting factor is that the person using the wireless microphone must be able to hear the sound outof the 8832 base in order to have an effective conference call.| 8832 base unit: same as above The charging tray of the wireless microphone kit requires an 18W power adapter included in the wireless microphone kit.
Two 8832 base units with a daisy chain kit| 20 x 36 ft
720 sq ft
Up to 22 people
Note:
For the recommended maximum room coverage for this configuration, the maximum distance between the two base units is 15 ft. The secondary base provides additional microphones and more robust sound within the conference room.
The minimum distance between the primary and secondary base units is 8 ft.| Requires a 36W power adapter included in the daisy chain kit
Note: PoE is not supported for daisy chain.
Two 8832 base units with a daisy chain kit and two wired microphones| 20 x 50 ft
1000 sq ft
Up to 38 people
Note: For the recommended maximum room coverage for this configuration, the maximum distance between the two base units is 15 ft, and each base unit has one wired microphone installed 7 ft from the base.| Requires a 36W power adapter included in the daisy chain kit
Two 8832 base units with a daisy chain kit and two wireless microphones| 20 x 57 ft
1140 sq ft
Up to 42 people
Note: For the recommended maximum room coverage for this configuration, the maximum distance between the two base units is 15 ft, and each base unit has one wireless microphone installed 10 ft from the base. However, if full talker voice does not need to be evenly covered across a conference room wireless microphones can be placed as far away as 100 ft from the base. The limiting Requires a 36W power adapter included in the daisy chain kit  The charging tray of the wireless microphone kit requires an 18W power adapter included in the wireless microphone kit. factor is that the person using the wireless microphone must be able to hear the sound from the 8832 base.| Requires a 36W power adapter included in the daisy chain kit The charging tray of the wireless microphone kit requires an 18W power adapter included in the wireless microphone kit.
