The Catchbox Mod integrates seamlessly into existing wireless microphone setups and can be used to turn a third-party belt pack transmitter into a high-quality omnidirectional microphone that can be thrown around - the perfect tool for engaging the audience at any event. Walking from one audience member to the next in order to pass on the microphone, unwanted noise, and even decreased audio quality due to incorrect handling are eliminated with this solution, so large events like congresses and conferences as well as smaller events like symposia, company meetings, and Q&A sessions can all be organised easily and run smoothly.
Beneath the soft cover of the Catchbox sits the module with its black foam casing, which in turn conceals a professional-quality electret condenser microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern. This microphone is powered by a AA battery, which provides more 20 hours of operation when an alkaline battery is used, and the special adapter cables included in the scope of delivery ensure full compatibility with backpack transmitters from major manufacturers like Shure, Sennheiser, and AKG. The transmitter used is stashed in a practical compartment inside the Catchbox module. The microphone additionally has an automute function that keeps it silent when it is being thrown and caught - and particularly if it gets dropped on the floor.
Meetings, seminars, and conferences are not necessarily the most captivating events a company can organise - thankfully, the Catchbox Mod is here to help and introduces a playful element that encourages dynamic discussions without detracting from the actual subject. Whenever it's another person's turn to speak, whoever has the microphone needs to throw it to them - and this automatically creates an interaction between the participants themselves, thus increasing their attention span and enhancing team cohesion. Companies of every kind can thus integrate the Catchbox Mod into their day-to-day business as an effective team building tool that is also sure to provide a healthy portion of amusement into any event.
The idea behind the Latvian company Catchbox and the product of the same name is to make discussion groups of any size more attractive, exciting, and comfortable with a unique throwable wireless microphone, bypassing the negative aspects associated with an ordinary handheld microphone, for example carrying it to the speaker. The product, the Catchbox, is available in two versions that differ significantly in terms of their wireless transmission system. While the Catchbox Plus uses a proprietary transmitter-receiver system, the Catchbox Mod can be combined with belt pack transmitters from well-known brands and in this way can be integrated into existing systems.
Anyone who has experienced a question-and-answer session with a large number of participants will know how tiresome and awkward it can be to work with a conventional handheld microphone - not just because these microphones have to be carried around the room by hand, but because unwanted noises are pretty much inevitable (and their hygienic shortcomings are best not mentioned). The Catchbox Mod, on the other hand, can be thrown from one participant to the next and stays silent while in the air thanks to its automute function. Another feature worthy of special mention is the self-disinfecting antimicrobial material from which both the soft cover and the black microphone cover are made, which reduces 99% of viruses within two hours.
