Note: when connecting the Duet Executive to external speakers, as described in section 4, the
Executive will also send your telephone’s audio to the external speaker (or headphones). While the
internal Duet speaker is disabled when using this connection, the Duet’s internal microphone is still
functional. This feature is useful if, for example, you listen to music stored on your computer while
wearing headphones and the telephone rings. You can pickup the call without taking the
headphones off. It can also be useful if you want to have a private conversation using standard
headphones without the need to purchase a telephone headset.
VoIP – Telephone bridge:
When the Duet Executive is connected to both your computer and your telephone, you can conduct
both a telephone and VoIP conversation. The Executive will allow you to communicate with both the
telephone and the VoIP parties at the same time. When a simultaneous conversation occurs, the
Duet will bridge between your telephone and your VoIP ends, allowing them to communicate with
each other in addition to communicating with you.
This feature is very convenient if you are on a VoIP call and want to patch-in a person that has no
access to a computer. Simply call him/her using your telephone, while keeping the VoIP call alive.
This feature also allows you to record a telephone conversation on your PC. All you need to do is to
download Phoenix Audio’s free recording utility, which can be found on our website:
