Once you’ve got your audio equipment and Cube mic all set up, you can start using it and get the discussions started! However, in some cases, a question might arise on how to correctly use the Cube. Below you’ll find some tips on using Cube mic in different situations.
Is Cube mic safe to catch and throw?
Cube mic is very light and made specifically for safe throwing and catching. The Cube cover is made from a combination of soft and durable foam and fabric. The cover softens the impact and ensures damage is not done to participants, room furniture, or parts inside the Cube.
Even though the product is safe to throw, be cautious about your surroundings! Be careful when throwing it in an environment with glasses with liquids or other fragile objects! Additionally, always make sure the person you’re throwing the Cube to is aware they need to catch it!
If you suspect something is off with your Cube mic (microphone capsule isn’t fully secured in the cover or a component is damaged), reach out to us right away on live chat on our website or at info@catchbox.com . We’ll be happy to help!
What if I can’t throw or catch?
Don't worry, in our experience, most people are better catchers and throwers than they realize! That said, part of the fun created by using Cube mic is the element of spontaneous discussion - created by simply throwing the box into the audience and seeing who manages to catch it. Additionally, Cube can also be passed around hand to hand!
What if people don’t want to catch the Cube mic? In our experience and in the case of many conferences, meetings, and other events, Cube actually helps to reduce anxiety before speaking - because it’s fun and easy to use. The audience doesn’t have to worry about the slow passing of a handheld mic or trying to figure out if the mic is on. Just catch the Cube, hold it in your hands, and speak!
- Try making eye contact with the person you’ll throw the Cube to. Avoid throwing it to a person who’s not aware they need to catch it! This will help you ensure great Cube mic experience with no sudden accidents.
- We recommend that the moderator of the event gives a short introduction of Catchbox Cube mic before passing it to the audience. Basic information about what Cube is, how to use it, and where the microphone is will prepare your audience for using this microphone.
- Use other people to help pass the Cube to larger distances - if you feel the throwing distance is too far, engage even more people by having them help pass the Cube mic around!
Can Cube mic be used by people with pacemakers?
Catchbox products (microphone capsules, wireless chargers, and the soft covers) contain magnets which could affect the functioning of pacemakers and other electronic implants. If you wear these devices, keep sufficient distance to magnets. It’s best to warn others who wear these devices about the risks of getting too close to magnets.
Can Cube mic be used by people with hearing difficulties?
Yes! This might require additional audio equipment (a hearing loop, remote microphone, etc.). We recommend double-checking the audio output options for the Catchbox model you've chosen - to see if you can connect it to your audio equipment.
Feel free to reach out to us on live chat on our website or at info@catchbox.com to double-check the audio equipment compatibility with Catchbox!
Can I use Cube mic when in movement?
Cube can easily be used when in movement - it will mute only when the patented Automute technology senses motions when falling or thrown. Feel free to use Cube when in movement - for example, on a bus or other moving transportation!
