Microphone EPOS B20

High sound quality during streams The new EPOS B20 is a high-quality digital USB microphone with an adjustable polar pattern, designed specifically for live streaming, including gaming online streams, video conferences, vlogs, and more. The B20 stands out primarily for its versatility. It easily connects to a playback device (plug-and-play), allows you to select the optimal polar pattern (any of four) with literally one button, is equipped with a headphone monitoring jack, and features a convenient control panel (with volume, sensitivity, and mute buttons). **Compatibility** PC and softphones, PS4 gaming console, computers running MacOS X. **Key advantages of the EPOS B20 model:** - Professional studio-quality sound; - USB connection, easy and straightforward; - Convenient control panel for key audio parameters; - Compact, reliable housing with an attractive appearance; - Ability to quickly set the most optimal of 4 polar patterns. **Great content starts with professional sound** The ability to quickly select the optimal polar pattern for a specific work situation from four options and the impeccably clear and well-detailed sound allow you to conduct a stream (conference, recording, etc.) confidently and professionally. To make real-time audio monitoring easier, the new EPOS B20 features an audio jack for monitoring headphones and a user-friendly control system. **Studio-quality speech** The B20 captures sound at a sampling rate of 48 kHz (which is 48,000 audio signal samples per second) and thus comfortably covers the entire frequency range available to human hearing. Moreover, the B20 transmits sound not in standard 16 bits (a total of 65 thousand different values) but with a resolution of 24 bits (16 million different values), meaning it is 256 times more accurate, thereby providing a dynamic, rich, and extremely clear studio-quality audio signal, correctly capturing all nuances of the voice. **Set up in seconds** In fact, you only need to connect the EPOS B20 to a free USB port on your desktop computer or laptop - and that's it, the microphone is immediately ready to work. No more setup complexities, just a few seconds and you're live! **Attractive and practical design** The new B20 is not only powerful and functional but also sufficiently elegant (to look great on camera, at least). The B20 is made in a sleek aluminum housing, the simplicity and sophistication of which are beautifully highlighted by a thin indicator strip on the dark matte background of the coating. **Four polar patterns to choose from** Cardioid, stereo, bidirectional, and omnidirectional - the B20's pattern switches with just one button, allowing the microphone to be instantly reconfigured for optimal sound capture in any work situation. In this regard, the B20 is so versatile that it easily handles any load that may arise during a solo stream, group performance, or active gaming stream involving a whole team of professional gamers. And not just handles it, but guarantees the highest quality transmission of speech, as well as vocals, music, and more. **Always convenient** The B20 can be easily positioned in any comfortable working position and rotated at any angle - down, up, or sideways. The microphone comes with a branded desktop stand, but it also features a standard 3/8 inch threaded mount for installation on a boom arm, tripod, or even a fishing rod holder. **Real-time stream audio monitoring** Monitoring headphones for controlling voice, stream, and in-game sound can be easily connected directly to the microphone, as the B20 has a built-in audio jack for this purpose. **Control panel** The most essential audio controls are located directly on the microphone and are always at hand. **Live indicator** The B20 will indicate at any moment whether the sound is on or off. **Optimal sensitivity level with one movement** During the stream, the sensitivity level of the EPOS B20 can be adjusted simply using the knob conveniently located directly on the microphone. However, remember that if the sensitivity is higher than necessary, the microphone may distort the voice, and if, conversely, it is too low, it will also be harder to capture and transmit the voice correctly. So, before going live, it's a good idea to experiment a bit and use the knob to find and set the B20's sensitivity to the desired level. Additionally, the sensitivity of the B20 can also be adjusted in the EPOS Gaming Suite application. **EPOS GAMING SUITE - the most convenient tool for fine-tuning the B20** The EPOS Gaming Suite application is designed for computers running Windows 10. The application can be downloaded for free from the company's website. The EPOS Gaming Suite is a simple and functional software tool that allows you to control sound playback modes (switching between stereo 2.0 and full-format 7.1-channel surround sound) and adjust the microphone. Moreover, the EPOS Gaming Suite also includes features for reverb, voice optimization, Side Tone (you can listen to yourself), Noise Gate (noise cancellation), and a built-in equalizer with a set of presets for the most popular gaming genres and setups. In other words, if you are streaming and gaming on PC, the Gaming Suite always gives you the opportunity to quickly and effectively adjust the sound in your stream and gaming broadcast according to your personal preferences.
