Ensure all Catchbox mics are paired with the Hub.** - In most cases, the mics are pre-paired before shipping. However, if pairing is required, follow the instructions in this [Knowledge Base article.](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/how-to-pair-catchbox-mics-with-the-hub?hsLang=en) **2. Connect the cables** - Audio - connect your Hub DSP’s FLEX 1 to 4 ports to appropriate inputs of your sound board,  mixer board or DSP-unit. If necessary, use Catchbox “3-pin to XLR-Out Adapters” (purchased separately). - USB Power - connect your Hub DSP to a power source using the included Catchbox USB-C Power Adapter. **3. Configure your Hub DSP** - Configure FLEX ports to operate as outputs `GLOBAL SETTINGS → SYSTEM → FLEX MODE → OUTPUT` - Make sure that for all FLEX output channels the “CHANNEL CLONING” setting is “DISABLED” `OUT → FLEX → CHANNEL SETTINGS → CHANNEL CLONING -> DISABLED` Note: When FLEX ports are configured as outputs, individual microphone channels`MIC 1..4` are automatically routed to individual FLEX outputs `FLEX 1..4` - Alternatively you can use `DANTE OUT 1..4` to route the audio to your mixer or DSP-unit ### **Wiring and mix diagram** **![Events and installations](https://help.catchbox.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Events%20and%20installations.jpg?width=670&height=482&name=Events%20and%20installations.jpg)**   - [Catchbox Plus System](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overview](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#overview) - [Hub DSP receiver](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#hub-dsp-receiver) - [Hub features](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#hub-features) - [Stick Mic](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#stick-mic) - [Clip Mic](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#clip-mic) - [Cube Mic](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#cube-mic) - [System Firmware](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#system-firmware) - [Product Setup](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product Setup](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#product-setup) - [Product Setup for Integrations](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#product-setup-for-integrations) - [How-to's](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#how-tos) - [Product Features](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#product-features) - [DECT Radio Protocol](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#dect-radio-protocol) - [Ordering & Shipping](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to Order Plus System](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#how-to-order-plus-system) - [Shipping](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#shipping) - [Billing](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#billing) - [Warranty & Returns](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#warranty-returns) - [Microphone Customization](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/microphone-customization?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Technical Troubleshooting](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#technical-troubleshooting) - [Audio Quality Issues](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#audio-quality-issues) - [Mic Troubleshooting](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#mic-troubleshooting) - [Materials](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/materials?hsLang=en) - [Remote Control & Monitoring](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/remote-control-monitoring?hsLang=en) - [Beltpack Module](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/beltpack-module?hsLang=en) - [Discontinued](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/discontinued?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Catchbox Legacy Plus](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/discontinued?hsLang=en#catchbox-legacy-plus) - [Catchbox Mod](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/discontinued?hsLang=en#catchbox-mod) Copyright © 2026, Catchbox SIA
