While Catchbox Mod shares certain features with the Cube throwable mic from the Catchbox Plus system, such as the Active Auto Mute and the option to change and customize covers, the full Catchbox Plus system and the Mod differ in various ways that are important to understand for making an informed choice.

Audience size and maximum wireless range
Audience size and maximum wireless range
- Catchbox Plus is well-suited for a wide range of audience sizes, accommodating even larger gatherings of up to 1000 people, with a maximum range of up to 100 m / 330 ft. It's great for various venues and large events, guaranteeing clear audio throughout the room.
- The audience size for Catchbox Mod depend on the third-party beltpack system used with it. While the maximum range for Mod is up to 90 m / 300 ft, the actual range and audience size can vary significantly based on the third-party equipment. It can technically handle audiences of up to 2000 people, but this is heavily reliant on the capabilities of the external system it integrates with.
System Components
- Hub DSP receiver is available in 2 or 4 wireless microphone channel versions. It combines a receiver with an audio mixer and DSP. It offers advanced audio processing for an improved hybrid experience, stealth mode, and a Kensington lock for security.
- Cube audience microphone: A wireless, omni-directional, throwable audience mic with a soft, antibacterial and customizable cover.
- Clip presenter microphone: An omni-directional lavalier presenter microphone with a customizable fabric jacket and a built-in range alarm.
- Single and Double charging docks and a charging base are all wireless charging systems for Clip, Stick and Cube mics. They form a Home station for the Plus system microphones and ensure that mics are always charged and ready to be used. Catchbox Mod, however, does not support wireless charging and requires 1 AA battery.
- Wall mounts can be used to attach the Hub DSP receiver to different surfaces – to a wall or ceiling with screws, behind a TV with adhesive tape, or on the tripod with a ⅜ inch screw. It also works as a cable manager.
- Dock brackets : An elevated mount for the charging dock enabling you to attach the Dock and Clip/Stick microphones to vertical and horizontal surfaces.
Four Mic Connectivity
- With Catchbox Plus, you can pair up to 4 mics with one Hub DSP receiver. All of the mics can be used simultaneously. This feature adds to the system's versatility for various event setups.
- Catchbox Mod does not support such connectivity and relies 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.
- Catchbox Mod is a viable solution if you already own a third-party beltpack transmitter. It converts your beltpack transmitter into a throwable microphone. However, it requires more integration effort and depends on the features of the third-party system.
Multiple systems in one room
The number of units that can be used simultaneously in one room varies by model due to the different frequencies:
- 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.
- Catchbox Mod: The number of modules that can be used depends on the third-party beltpack system manufacturer, which may not offer the same level of scalability and interference management as the Plus system.
