Is Cube mic safe to catch and throw?

Yes, the Cube mic is very light and specifically designed for safe throwing and catching. The cover is made from soft and durable foam and fabric, which softens the impact and ensures no damage is done to participants, room furniture, or the internal parts of the Cube.

Safety Tips:

  • Be cautious about your surroundings. Avoid throwing the Cube near glasses containing liquids or other fragile objects.
  • 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 (e.g., the microphone capsule isn’t fully secured in the cover or a component is damaged), contact us right away via live chat on our website or at info@catchbox.com

What if I can’t throw or catch the Cube mic?

Don't worry! In our experience, most people are better catchers and throwers than they realize.  Part of the fun with the Cube mic is its ability to facilitate spontaneous discussions, eliminating the need to carry a regular mic around, making it perfect for rapid-fire discussions and dynamic interactions. If you prefer, you can also pass the Cube hand to hand.

Helpful Tips:

  • Make eye contact with the person you're throwing the Cube to.
  • Avoid throwing it to someone who is unaware they need to catch it.
  • Have the event moderator introduce the Cube mic to the audience, explaining how to use it and where the microphone is located.
  • Engage more participants by having them help pass the Cube mic around if the throwing distance is too far.

Can the Cube mic be used by people with pacemakers?

Catchbox products (microphone capsules, wireless chargers, and the soft covers) contain magnets that could affect the functioning of pacemakers and other electronic implants. If you wear these devices, maintain a sufficient distance from magnets. It’s important to warn others who wear these devices about the risks of getting too close to magnets.

Can the Cube mic be used by people with hearing difficulties?

Yes, but it might require additional audio equipment such as a hearing loop or remote microphone. Check the Hub receiver audio output options to see if you can connect it to your audio equipment. For assistance, reach out to us via live chat on our website or at info@catchbox.com.

Can I use the Cube mic while moving?

Yes, the Cube can be used while moving. It will mute only when the patented Automute technology senses motion from falling or being thrown. You can use the Cube while in motion, such as on a bus or other moving transportation.
