Phoenix Audio Technologies is the trade name used by Midas Technology INC in its daily business. The company develops and manufactures audio solutions to the conferencing and tele-presence market.

History
Phoenix was founded in 2004 by Joseph Marash and is incorporated in New Jersey. The main offices were in Great Neck, New York until April of 2011. At that time the company relocated its offices to Burbank, California.

Company Product Trajectory
Phoenix entered the video conference industry in January 2005, with its first solutions for high end audio communication, the Soho. The Soho was designed to provide echo canceling and noise reduction to the PC platform, while utilizing existing microphones and speakers. Shortly after the Soho, Phoenix Audio Technologies released the Solo. The Solo is a USB microphone, with built-in echo canceling and noise canceling.

In June 2005 the company revealed its first speakerphone, the Duet. The Duet has a built-in microphone and speaker with echo canceling and noise reduction capabilities.

In 2007 the company expanded its business offering to conference rooms with the Quattro – a four microphone, four speaker noise canceling, echo canceling speakerphone. Some of the features of the Quattro are the ability to daisy chain multiple number of units, the ability to provide in-room amplification of an external microphone, the variety of communication interfaces and its internal rechargeable battery.

In January 2007 the company launched its first conference room mixer which later assumed the name Octopus.

Later in 2007, the company came out with its first noise canceling and echo canceling daughter board called the MT102, which can be integrated with a target motherboard. In the beginning of 2010 the company came out with a stronger daughter board called the MT103 which comes in two versions MT103S (standard) or the MT103T (turbo).
