The B-D2020 is a compact, lightweight network presenter beltpack unit designed to fulfill all audio requirements for situations such as pitchside reporting or presenting. The unit generates a programme sound microphone output with noiseless diversion of that output to two discreet
talkback outputs plus a combined feed. B-D2020 front
There are two volume controls, each volume control may be fed with stereo or mono audio.
Various talkback key functions, microphone gain, limiter, phantom power and sidetone are all conveniently adjusted using the OLED display. The display also shows on-air or talk status and meters the microphone audio for confidence. Microphone levels may be adjusted in 1dB steps from 0 to +66dB with switchable 48 volt phantom power.

The unit may be operated using Power over Ethernet (so just one cable)
or via a 12 volt DC adaptor. B-D2020 rear
The B-D2020 will also operate in Dante AES67 mode.
The display normally shows the text On-Air, microphone settings and metering. When a talkback button is pressed the unit will display whichever key is pressed (or both). If a mute key has been programmed then the display will flash 'Mic Muted'.
The talk keys may be selected to momentary mode, latching mode, defeated or used as a 'cough' or muting key, momentary or latching. A microphone limiter is also available as well as adjustable sidetone level.
