Great content starts with professional sound

And to make it easier to control audio in real time, the new Epos B20 has an audio jack for monitor headphones and a convenient control system.

Broadcast Studio Quality
The B20 captures audio at a sampling rate of 48 kHz (that's 48,000 audio samples per second) and thus comfortably covers the entire frequency range accessible to human hearing. Moreover, the B20 transmits sound not in the standard 16 bits (65 thousand different values ​​in total), but with a resolution of 24 bits (16 million different values), that is, 256 times more accurate, thereby providing a dynamic, rich and extremely clear studio-quality audio signal, and correctly capturing all the nuances of the voice.

Setting up in a couple of seconds
Actually, you just need to connect the Epos B20 to a free USB port on your desktop or laptop - and that’s all, the microphone is immediately ready for use. No more difficulties with settings, just a couple of seconds - and you're already on the air!

Attractive and practical design
The new B20 microphone is not only powerful and functional, but also elegant enough (to look great on camera, at least). The B20 is made in a sleek aluminum case, the laconicism and elegance of which is perfectly emphasized by a thin strip of indicator on a dark matte background of the coating.

Four polar patterns to choose from
Cardioid, stereo, bidirectional and omnidirectional - on the B20, the pattern can also be switched with one button, thanks to which the microphone can be instantly reconfigured for optimal sound capture in any working situation . In this regard, the B20 is so versatile that it can easily cope with absolutely any load that may arise during a solo broadcast, a group performance or an active game stream with the participation of an entire team of professional gamers. And it not only copes, but guarantees the highest quality of speech transmission, as well as vocals, music, etc.

Always convenient
B20 is easily installed in any position convenient for work and rotates at any angle - down, up or to the side. The microphone comes with a proprietary tabletop stand, but it also has a standard 3/8-inch threaded mount for mounting on a pantograph, tripod, or even a fishing rod holder.

Audio monitoring of a stream in real time
Monitor headphones for monitoring voice, stream and sound in the game can be simply connected to a microphone; for this, the B20 has a built-in audio jack.

Control panel
The most necessary audio controls for operation are located directly on the microphone itself and are always at hand.

On-air indicator
B20 will tell you at any time whether the sound is on or off.

Optimal sensitivity level with one movement
During the stream, the Epos B20 sensitivity level can be adjusted simply with a regulator, which is conveniently located directly on the microphone itself. However, do not forget that if the sensitivity is higher than necessary, then the microphone can distort the voice, and if, on the contrary, it is too low, then it will also be more difficult for it to correctly capture and transmit the voice. So, before going on air, you need to experiment a little and use the regulator to find and set the B20 sensitivity to the desired level. In addition, the sensitivity of the B20 can also be adjusted in the EPOS Gaming Suite app.

EPOS Gaming Suite is the most convenient tool for fine-tuning the B20
