Audience Size & Maximum Wireless Range

  • Catchbox Plus is designed for various audience sizes, handling even large gatherings of up to 1000 people, with maximum wireless range of up to 100 m / 330 ft. It's ideal for large venues, events, lecture halls, and unsupervised meeting rooms, ensuring clear audio. 
  • Beltpack Module relies on the third-party beltpack system it integrates with. Its performance depends on the capabilities of the external system. 

Four Mic Connectivity

  • Catchbox Plus allows you to pair up to 4 mics with a single Hub DSP receiver. All of the mics can be used simultaneously. This feature adds to the system's versatility for various event setups.
  • Beltpack Module does not support multi-mic connectivity and depends entirely on the capabilities of the third-party beltpack system.

Use Cases

  • The Catchbox Plus system is perfect for everything from small meetings to large installations, making it ideal for lectures, hybrid meetings, face-to-face meetings, as well as bigger events. When you receive your Plus system, it's ready-to-go right out of the box. For a simple setup just connect it with your computer or loudspeakers.
  • Beltpack Module is a viable solution if you already own a third-party beltpack transmitter. It converts your beltpack transmitter into a throwable microphone but requires more setup and integration effort. It’s best suited for managed, supervised events where a dedicated audio technician is available.

Multiple Systems in One Room

  • Catchbox Plus supports up to 6 Cube, Clip or Stick mics in the US, and up to 10 Cube, Clip or Stick mics EU/globally, allowing for multiple interactive elements without interference.
  • Beltpack Module scalability depends on the third-party beltpack system manufacturer, which may have limitations on the number of units that can be used simultaneously.
