Catchbox is the worlds first throwable microphone for audience engagement. Designed to be thrown from one participant to another, the device works great in conferences, meetings, and workshops, where passing a normal stick microphone is slow and cumbersome. Not only is the device intuitive to use and faster than a regular mic, but it’s playful, fun design quickly breaks the ice and gets everyone in the audience to participate.
Inside, the Catchbox includes state of the art technology such as sensors that constantly monitor for motion and turn the audio off when the device is thrown, caught, or dropped, ensuring quality audio at every event. It is a simple and effective tool to create audience engagement.
