Clip presenter mic is a wearable microphone for main speakers in presentations, lectures, company all-hands and any other interactions with the audience, whether in person or remote.
With its pick-up-and-talk functionality, it's straightforward and hassle-free, allowing speakers to focus solely on delivering their message without any distractions. This user-friendly design is favored over the regular bodypacks, which often require additional lavs, headsets, and special attention to clothing for attachment.
The Clip mic offers a distinct advantage in unsupervised spaces, where its ease of use requires minimal oversight.
The Clip lavalier mic is one of the three wireless microphone transmitters that connect with the Hub DSP receiver and can be bundled up to create the Catchbox Plus system that best suits your needs.

1. On/Off Switch (video)
The On/Off switch is thoughtfully located under the lever on the backside of the mic
This hidden placement ensures a seamless user experience. Users don't need to locate the switch because the mic is automatically on and unmuted when picked up from the charging dock, allowing immediate use.
The switch remains accessible for specific situations but is generally unnecessary for everyday use.
2. Pairing
Clip presenter mic is already paired with the Hub receiver before shipping. In case the mic is not paired or if you need to initiate the pairing on your own, here is how to do it.
3. LED indicators
The 5 LED indicator line on the front of the Clip shows the battery level. The LED indicator on the top of the Clip will show:
-
- No light at all: The Clip is not powered
- Green light: The mic is on and paired with the Hub
- Yellow light: The mic is on but not paired
- Yellow and blinking: The mic is in pairing mode
4. Battery life and Charging
To charge the Clip, place it on the charging dock until the magnetic pins of the Clip and the dock are aligned and snap into place. When fully charged, the battery life of the Clip mic is 8 hrs.
Clip mic charging docks can be daisy-chained to optimize the use of power outlets, supporting up to six slots = x6 single-dock chargers or 3 double-dock chargers.
5. Power Saving Modes
Clip has the following power saving modes:
- Low power mode - enabled when Clip is not placed on the charging dock and isn't moved for 30 minutes
- Wake it by simply picking it up
- Shutdown mode - enabled 2 hours after the Clip has gone into Low Power mode
- Wake it by placing it on the charging dock or using the On/Off switch
6. Mute & Unmute (video)
Quickmute function with a single button allows for easy muting and unmuting of the Clip by the presenter.
The Clip mic is unmuted when picked up from the charging dock, allowing presenters to simply grab it and start speaking immediately.
As soon as it's placed back on the charging dock, the Clip is muted and begins charging.
7. Out of Range Alarm
Clip mic has a built-in out-of-range alarm, which alerts the wearer when the Clip is taken out of range (further than 100 m/ 330 ft) and the radiolink with the Hub is lost. This helps prevent situations when the speaker unintentionally leaves with the mic still on, potentially causing operational issues for the AV team
8. Features & Connectivity
- Inside the top part of the Clip mic is an omni-directional microphone that captures clear audio
- All the microphones in the Catchbox Plus system, including the Clip, operate on the DECT (1.8/1.9 GHz band) license-free radio protocol to connect to the Hub receiver
9. Best Practices for Usage
Distance between the mic and the speaker:
- The recommended distance between the mic and the speaker is 20 cm/8 in. Wearing the Clip mic with a lanyard will naturally provide that.
- Thanks to our advanced audio processing functionalities, even if the distance varies or presenters move their heads, the mic will still ensure great audio quality.
Wearing the Clip mic:
- The Clip lavalier mic can be either clipped onto clothing or worn around the neck using the provided lanyard, giving presenters the freedom to wear whatever they prefer, including dresses or delicate fabrics, without any risk of damage.
Create your own Clip design:
- When ordering, make the Clip presenter mic jacket (the colorful, top part of the mic) uniquely yours by customizing it with your university's, company's, or event's colors and logos
Cleaning the mic:
- Use gentle wet wipes and pat the mic dry with a paper towel after cleaning.
- Don't use any alcohol-based cleaning solutions.
