EPOS EXPAND 80 Speakerphone

Unite teams with a premium scalable Bluetooth speakerphone designed for hybrid meetings. The EXPAND 80 supports up to 16 in-room participants and features six adaptive beamforming microphones that isolate human speech from reverberation and ambient noise, ensuring every voice is heard clearly whether colleagues are gathered in the room or joining remotely. Built for modern workspaces, this device pairs with laptops, desktops, and mobile devices via Bluetooth or USB-C for seamless, plug-and-play setup. With a focus on clarity, inclusivity, and effortless collaboration, the EPOS EXPAND 80 redefines how hybrid teams communicate—bringing distant voices closer to the heart of the conversation.

• Six adaptive beamforming microphones for crystal-clear voice pickup. The EXPAND 80’s intelligent microphone array concentrates on spoken words while suppressing room reverberation and background noise. This enables natural, intelligible conversations, even in acoustically challenging spaces. Voices from across the table are captured with fidelity, so there’s less need to repeat statements or raise your voice during meetings. The beamforming system continuously adapts to the speaker’s position, maintaining balanced audio as participants move, lean in, or switch seats during a discussion.

  Beyond simply catching speech, the device’s mic technology minimizes distraction from ambient sounds like keyboard clicks, HVAC hum, or distant chatter, delivering a consistently comfortable listening experience for all attendees and helping meeting outcomes stay on track.

• Flexible connectivity and broad compatibility for effortless setup. The EXPAND 80 supports both wireless and wired workflows. Use Bluetooth for convenient, cable-free connections to laptops, tablets, or smartphones, or connect with a USB-C cable for a stable, high‑quality digital link to a computer or conferencing system. The plug‑and‑play design means you can start a meeting quickly without installing drivers or complex software, making it ideal for quick stand-ups, client calls, or all-hands sessions.

  Designed to work with popular collaboration platforms and UC solutions, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, the EXPAND 80 integrates smoothly into existing workflows. Its audio path is optimized for real-time communication, providing low-latency performance that keeps speech aligned with video, screen sharing, and other meeting activities. This ensures a cohesive experience across devices and teams, regardless of the platform in use.

• Scalability and collaboration that grow with your space. The EXPAND 80 is engineered to adapt—from compact huddle rooms to mid‑sized conference spaces. In smaller environments, its compact footprint and precise mic coverage deliver focused, intimate pickup. In larger rooms, its beamforming array expands coverage to reach all participants, maintaining consistent voice clarity without overwhelming the room with noise. The design is naturally scalable: as needs evolve, you can adjust seating arrangements or supplement with additional EPOS audio solutions to extend coverage and preserve audio quality across larger configurations.

  This scalability supports inclusive teamwork by ensuring remote attendees feel connected to conversations in the room. With robust compatibility and dependable performance, the EXPAND 80 helps teams collaborate more effectively, accelerate decision-making, and reduce the friction often associated with multi‑device meetings.

• Ease of use and hands-on control for everyday meetings. Operational simplicity is a core feature. The EXPAND 80 provides intuitive physical controls for muting, adjusting speaker volume, and answering or ending calls—so you can manage meetings without navigating complex menus. LED indicators offer quick, actionable status signals at a glance, helping users gauge device readiness and connection status in busy rooms. The setup experience is designed for minimal downtime, enabling teams to launch meetings rapidly and focus on the discussion rather than technology.

  For IT teams, reliability and straightforward maintenance are paramount. The EXPAND 80 is built to endure daily use in busy offices, with a clean, professional aesthetic that fits complementarily with modern meeting spaces. When firmware updates or optional software controls are available, they’re designed to be non-disruptive, preserving a smooth user experience while enabling enhancements over time.

• Benefits for hybrid teams—connect, include, and collaborate with confidence. In hybrid environments, keeping every voice heard can be challenging. The EXPAND 80’s powerful mic array and noise suppression work together to reduce listening fatigue and improve participation, ensuring remote teammates aren’t left behind during conversations. The premium design and compact footprint fit neatly on conference tables or credenzas without crowding space, while delivering enterprise-grade audio performance that elevates meeting quality across the board. Whether you’re conducting a client briefing, a quarterly review, or a project kickoff, this speakerphone helps teams share ideas more naturally, align faster, and translate discussion into actionable outcomes.

  By emphasizing speech clarity and listening comfort, the EXPAND 80 fosters more productive meetings, reduces the need for recaps, and encourages inclusive dialogue where every participant—on-site or remote—has an equal seat at the table.
