For its part, the handle which also serves as a foot is made of anodized aluminum. The latter makes it easy to transport Onyx Studio 8 from one room to another. Finally, its packaging uses FSC-certified paper and is printed with soy ink. Thus, its impact on the environment is significantly reduced.

In the same vein, the Onyx Studio 8 calibrates itself automatically for optimized sound reproduction. It is still possible to use the Onyx Studio 8 as a hands-free kit to manage calls thanks to the presence of a Far-Field type microphone.
