A New Era of Simplicity for Higher Education AV

Catchbox, the company best known for its iconic throwable microphones, is expanding its product lineup with a powerful new addition designed specifically for modern learning spaces. The newly enhanced Catchbox Hub now transforms from a wireless mic receiver into a full-featured audio processing Hub - delivering the power of a dedicated DSP, a 12-channel automixer, and multi-platform connectivity in one compact, classroom-ready solution.

The new Catchbox Hub is the latest innovation within the Catchbox Plus wireless microphone system and was designed to be the central point in education spaces where audio complexity is growing - but budgets and human resources are not. With support for up to four Catchbox wireless mics and up to ten external audio sources over analog, USB, and Dante™, the Hub intelligently mixes, processes, and routes audio for in-room amplification, conferencing, recording, and assistive listening.

The Catchbox Hub eliminates the need for external DSP, allowing AV designers to simplify their setup and reduce costs. 

Key features include:

➔ Separate DSP paths for smooth in-room and video conferencing audio experience, with smart features like feedback suppression, auto leveling, echo reduction, and more.

➔ Flexible input options, supporting up to 4 Catchbox wireless microphones, 4 analog sources, and 4x4 Dante™ channels for mixing and processing external sources like third-party mic systems.

➔ Custom-configurable output mixes for assistive listening, recording, and conferencing

USB integration for seamless connection with software platforms like Zoom, MS Teams, or lecture capture tools.

➔ USB integration for seamless connection with software platforms like Zoom, MS Teams, or lecture capture tools.

➔ Centralized control and monitoring software for campus-wide AV scalability (coming soon).

"The reality is that classroom audio needs have outgrown traditional solutions,” said Mikelis Studers, the CEO of Catchbox. “The new Hub allows institutions to do more with less - reducing hardware, simplifying design, and giving AV teams total control at scale."

Catchbox Plus continues to set the standard for user-focused design. The Clip mic offers hands-free audio without wires or setup. The Stick mic brings a familiar handheld option for presenters. And the signature Cube throwable mic continues to improve audience interaction. All microphones feature Catchbox’s best-in-class charging system - the most intuitive and durable on the market - and a range alarm to ensure no mic ever goes missing.

As AV budgets tighten and systems grow more complex, Catchbox’s expanded product line provides a welcome alternative: a complete classroom audio solution that’s powerful, affordable, and effortless to use. 

Whether you’re adding ceiling mics, integrating media players, or delivering voice lift and far-end audio simultaneously, the new Hub within the Catchbox Plus makes it all possible.
