The pod form factor features a round 4.3-inch-diameter base with a cardioid microphone on a flexible stem extending up to 12.9 inches, giving the operator the same close-range voice pickup as the SU1 series in a lighter ABS plastic housing that can sit freestanding on the counter or be permanently surface-mounted to the operator desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface-mount option is the STS-SU2's main differentiator from the SU1 series. The round pod base can be bolted or adhered directly to the operator desk, which keeps the unit from being accidentally shifted, bumped, or walked off during shift changes, and gives a cleaner installed look at a dedicated service counter where the staff position doesn't move. If you don't want to permanently mount the unit, the pod also works as a freestanding desktop unit the operator can slide into position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cardioid directional microphone picks up the operator's voice from directly in front of the microphone head and rejects sound from the sides and rear, which matters at a busy teller window or ticket counter where lobby noise, HVAC fan noise, and the next operator position's conversation would otherwise bleed into the customer-side audio. The flexible stem lets the operator position the microphone head at the right height and angle for their seated or standing posture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-watt speaker runs at 4-ohm impedance with 85 dB SPL output at 1 watt at 1 meter, and a 150 Hz to 10,300 Hz frequency response tuned for clear speech reproduction at desk distance. That is the same speaker output specification the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/contacta-sts-a31h-window-intercom-amplifier\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSTS-A31H\u003c\/a\u003e window intercom amplifier is tuned to drive, so the STS-SU2 pairs directly with the STS-A31H without added crossover or matching hardware. A complete install also needs a customer-side speaker and microphone and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/contacta-ps-55-power-supply\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePS-55 power supply\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STS-SU2 does not include a mute switch on the pod itself.
