Product Information
Full details
The EPOS EXPAND 80 Mic is designed for users of the EXPAND 80 speakerphone who need to extend its audio coverage in larger meeting rooms or environments with more participants. Its key benefit is enabling superb call clarity and optimized audio capture for Unified Communications (UC) and Microsoft Teams certified calls by placing noise-cancelling microphones closer to all participants. A potential caveat is that it functions as an extension and requires an EXPAND 80 speakerphone to operate.

FAQs
Do I need the EXPAND 80 speakerphone to use the EXPAND 80 Mic?
Yes, the EXPAND 80 Mic is an expansion accessory and requires a connected EPOS EXPAND 80 or EXPAND 80T speakerphone to function.
Can I connect more than two EXPAND 80 Mics?
No, the EXPAND 80 system is designed to support a maximum of two EXPAND 80 microphones connected to a single EXPAND 80 speakerphone.
How do I adjust the cable length?
The EXPAND 80 Mic features smart cable management. You can typically wind or unwind the cable around a designated spool or clip system on the microphone base to achieve the desired length.
Is the EXPAND 80 Mic compatible with other speakerphones?
The EXPAND 80 Mic is specifically designed and optimized for the EPOS EXPAND 80 and EXPAND 80T speakerphones. Compatibility with other systems is not guaranteed.
How does the beamforming technology work?
Beamforming uses multiple microphones to focus on the direction of the speaker's voice, enhancing their audio pickup while suppressing sound from other directions, thus reducing background noise and improving clarity.
What is the warranty period for the EXPAND 80 Mic?
Please refer to the official EPOS warranty documentation for the most current and specific warranty information regarding your product, as it can vary by region.
Troubleshooting
Microphone not detected by EXPAND 80 speakerphone
Ensure the cable is securely connected at both the microphone and the speakerphone. Try a different USB port on the speakerphone if available, or restart the speakerphone.
Poor audio quality or muffled voices
Check that the microphone grilles are clean and unobstructed. Ensure the microphone is placed in a central location and not covered by other objects. Verify that the correct audio settings are selected in your UC application.
Excessive background noise
While the microphones are noise-cancelling, extremely loud or persistent background noise may still be picked up. Try to reduce ambient noise in the room. Ensure the beamforming microphones are pointed towards the participants.
