Introduction
The M500 supports wideband wireless audio for enhanced call quality on cordless handsets or desksets. This page describes how to set up wideband audio.
Wideband vs. narrowband audio
| Wideband | Narrowband | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum number of cordless devices localized to a base | 4 | 8 |
| Maximum number of calls per base | 4 | 8 |
Both narrowband and wideband codecs are supported with SIP calls regardless of whether M500 wideband is enabled or disabled. Wideband SIP audio will be transcoded to narrowband if M500 wideband is disabled.
DECT intercom calls will always be narrowband regardless of whether M500 wideband is enabled or disabled.
Configuring wideband audio
Wideband audio is disabled by default. It can be enabled as described below.
