Acoustic Shield

The acoustic shield feature is designed for background noise suppression when you are using the phone handset or a connected headset. It is particularly used in the open office environment, such as the call center, where background noise can impact far-end audio quality. It is only applicable to T57W/T54W/T53W/T53/T48U/T46U/T43U/T42U phones.

  1. features.acoustic_shield.mode="2"

Permitted Values: 0-Disabled, 1-Enabled, you need to manually enable acoustic shield by pressing the Acous.S On soft key during the call, 2-Auto, the acoustic shield is automatically enabled when the call is set up. you can press the Acous.S Off soft key during the call to disable it.

  1. features.acoustic_shield.level="3"

It configures the noise suppression level for handsets and headsets. The higher value represents better noise suppression effect. If it is set to 3, the phone automatically shields the noise out of 7.9 inches when you are using the handset or headset.
