Choosing between the Poly Studio Table Microphone and the Poly Studio A2 Table Microphone? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Studio Table Microphone if you want the one that costs $120 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Studio A2 Table Microphone if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms).
Both are appliance+USB expansion microphones; the difference is which systems they pair with and price.
