Audio controls on the microphone gives you full control over the stream with volume, gain, mute and a choice of four pickup patterns – cardioid, stereo, bidirectional and omnidirectional – for different recording scenarios. Cardioid is perfect for solo recording as sound is picked up from the front of the microphone, while background noise is dampened. Stereo opens up a wider sound field and makes for more immersive, natural sounding audio. Bidirectional records from both the front and back of the microphone, while dampening sound on either side of the microphone, making it optimal for casting with a partner, while the omnidirectional pickup pattern picks up sound from every direction, making it suitable for collaborative game streaming. You can easily change between the patterns for optimal recording setup with the turn of a dial.
LED lights show when the microphone is active, with red indicating if it is muted so there is never any doubt. The built-in headphone jack allows you to monitor your voice in real time. Listen to your stream as you mix the balance of your voice to game sound and audio with the easily adjustable volume control. The EPOS Gaming Suite for the PC may also be downloaded for further audio settings.
This USB digital microphone provides instant connection to your PC or laptop with no-hassle plug-and-play. The B20 also comes with a dedicated desk stand that allows perfect fit and placement/adjustment to suit the streamer. For flexible setup, the microphone can also be detached from the desk stand and easily attached to boom arms with a 3/8″ thread for even more positioning options.
