To eliminate any unwanted noises when the Catchbox is being thrown around, internal electronics sense the motion of the throwable microphone and switch off the audio when it is caught, thrown,or dropped.
“The Catchbox got started more than one year ago at Aalto University, Finland. After seeing countless lectures and conferences where it was difficult to ask audience members questions, the founders decided something had to be done. Product developers at heart, the team set about to create the world’s first throwable microphone that could be easily passed from one audience member to the next, making events more engaging and fun.”
