EPOS BrainAdapt™ is a group of pioneering technologies that work together to improve cognitive performance. Based on more than a decade of psychoacoustic research dedicated to understanding how the brain perceives sound, we know that we hear with our ears but we listen with our brains.
For the IMPACT 800, this includes the following: Industry-leading microphone technology powered by EPOS AI™ isolates your voice and makes sure your message gets through Hybrid adaptive ANC that blocks ambient noise and lets the user focus on the conversation EPOS AI™ that helps compensate for poor microphone and muffled sound from the B-side, boosting audio performance for the A-side.
The IMPACT 800 uses industry-leading microphone technology powered by EPOS AI™. It relies on a noise canceling algorithm that intelligently identifies the noise around you. The microphone uses beamforming technology to scan the surrounding environment 32,000 times per second, which allows it to effectively identify and shut down sources of noise.
The headset comes with a suite of smart features that allow it to react to natural physical gestures and interact with calls accordingly. This includes:
Operating the boom arm during calls:
- Lifting the boom arm will mute the call
- Lowering the boom arm will unmute an active call or answer an incoming call Putting down / picking up the headset
- Placing the headset on the table will stop calls or media playback
- Picking the headset up will unmute calls or resume media playback or take a call.
- Putting the Headset on the charge stand will end the call.
The 360-degree busylight is visible from any angle of the office and automatically turns red when you’re in a call to signal that you are not to be disturbed.
This is a mute indicator. This LED will flash red if you try to speak while your microphone is muted, reminding you to unmute yourself.
Super wideband refers to a type of audio technology that provides an extended frequency range for transmitting and receiving audio signals. Specifically, Super Wideband refers to a frequency range of 100 Hz to 11.5 kHz. Super Wideband technology is capable of reproducing sound with greater clarity, detail, and realism, and is particularly useful for applications where high-quality audio is essential.
This means that the built-in ANC will adapt to the surrounding noise level and only use as much ANC as needed at any given time. This reduces the feeling of occlusion in situations where a high level of ANC is not required.
Standard ANC headsets typically have one of the following systems:
- Feed-forward ANC, where a microphone is placed outside of the earphone.
- Feed-back ANC, where a microphone is placed inside the earphone. Each of the above has its advantages and disadvantages.
The hybrid ANC system is a combination of the two, meaning it is capable of utilizing the advantages of both technologies.
Adjustable ANC lets the user manually set the level of ANC via desktop or mobile versions of EPOS Connect. The following 5 presets are supported:
- ANC off
- Low ANC (Approx. 30%)
- Mid ANC (Approx. 50%
- Near-full ANC (Approx: 66%)
- Full ANC
Automatically amplify the voice signal if the incoming speech is low. If you are in a conference call or online meetings with multiple callers, the feature will normalize all incoming speech levels to a common level. Audio signals which are not identified as voice will pass through unaffected. Feature can be enabled/disabled in EPOS Connect.
Sidetone is the audible feedback of your own voice during a call. It helps the agent to speaker in a softer, more pleasant level. You can adjust the sidetone to your preferred level in EPOS Connect.
