Compatible with the Digital Pocket Memo Series Philips Conference Microphone 9172 gathers sound in a 360 pattern for accurate recording of everyone in the room. With a low profile design and no need for a microphone stand the Conference Microphone is discrete. That being said the 9172 does allow for daisy chain connection of up to 6 microphones - ensuring that every speaker in the room will be covered. Cable storage is built into the base of the microphone keeping tangled cords out of sight.
