Speak2 40

A corded speakerphone built for full duplex conversations

The Jabra Speak2 40 is a corded USB speakerphone in a puck-shaped body, 120 mm in diameter and 33 mm high, weighing 245 g. Its key feature is full duplex audio, which lets both ends of a call talk and listen at once, much like a face-to-face conversation. In meetings where people interrupt, overlap or respond quickly, this keeps the discussion moving instead of forcing strict turn-taking.

The 50 mm speaker has a peak output of 83 dBspl at 0.5 m. Speech bandwidth runs from 150 Hz to 7,000 Hz and music playback from 100 Hz to 20,000 Hz, so presentations and recorded clips sound full in a room of up to 4.5 x 4.5 m (14.76 x 14.76 ft).

Microphones, echo control and voice levelling

Four digital MEMS microphones pick up speech from up to 2.3 m (7.5 ft) away. The specification also lists acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction on calls, which help the far end focus on the speaker rather than on room noise. Voice level normalization, described as automatic gain control on outgoing audio, evens out the level between a quiet speaker and a louder one, so nobody has to keep adjusting the volume during a discussion.

• Four microphones with a 150 Hz to 7,000 Hz frequency range
• Wideband audio up to 8,000 Hz for clear speech
• Acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction listed for calls

Connecting to laptops and meeting platforms

The integrated cable is about 80 cm (31.5 in) long and offers USB-C or USB-A connection, with both connectors on the same cable. That lets one unit work with a newer laptop today and an older desktop port later, without an adapter. The product is listed as compatible with Google Meet, Amazon Chime and Chromebook, and Microsoft Teams certification depends on the variant. Firmware updates are managed through Jabra Direct and Jabra Xpress.

Two Dark Grey variants are available: 2740-209, labelled UC, and 2740-109, labelled MS Teams. Confirm your platform when you request a quote so the correct model is supplied.

Where the Speak2 40 fits across Qatar

In a consultancy office in Msheireb or West Bay, a small team can take a client call with colleagues abroad from a single table, without setting up a room system. At a training centre in Education City or a private school in Al Wakrah, a staff room or small seminar room can host hybrid sessions where speech is clear from every seat. For companies in Lusail or The Pearl working Sunday to Thursday, the unit suits quick calls that do not justify booking a full video room.

On industrial sites in Ras Laffan or Mesaieed, a site office or supervisor's room may need a simple audio setup. Its IP64 rating for protection against dust and water helps when the unit moves between a site office and a meeting room, although the temperature limits below still apply.

Planning the deployment and the operating environment

• Operating range is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F); storage range is -20°C to 45°C (-4°F to 113°F).
• In Qatar summers, keep the unit in air-conditioned rooms and never leave it in a parked car or on a sun-exposed sill.
• Place it centrally on the table, within the 2.3 m pick-up range, and close to the laptop because the cable is about 80 cm.
• The box contains the speakerphone, a carry pouch, safety information and warranty, and the product carries a 2-year warranty.

If you are equipping several rooms, SmartRooms Qatar supplies across all eight municipalities, offers free site surveys to check placement and usually issues quotations within one working day.
