Integrated DSP and mixer Integrated DSP and mixer
The Plus system's Hub packs three devices in one:
- - Wireless mic receiver
- - DSP for automated audio enhancement and processing
- - Mixer for combining different audio signals
What is an integrated DSP?
The integrated DSP includes advanced audio processing capabilities ensuring consistent audio output without the need for manual adjustments.
The Plus system's Hub features two audio processing paths:
- - Far-end/USB Audio path: Available on USB output. Maintains clear, dynamic audio for remote participants, minimizing noise and peaks to prevent videoconferencing fatigue.
- - In-room audio path: Available on mixed 3-pin Euroblock, RCA, and Dante®️ output. Crucial for unattended spaces requiring voice-lift. It minimizes acoustic feedback risks caused by room imperfections or user error.
Automix outputs:
- - L&R, 3 pin, balanced, Mic level
- - USB-C, digital outputs
- - RCA, unbalanced, Line level
- - Dante®-OUT (configurable for unmixed or mixed output, up to 4 channels depending on Hub configuration)
Note: All outputs can work simultaneously. Any audio processing done by the Hub applies only to Plus system microphones (Cube, Clip and Stick).
Audio processing features
Automixer activates the microphone of the person currently speaking; Quietly lowers the volume of other microphones to reduce background noise, echoes, and feedback; Maintains a consistent overall sound level when multiple people are speaking simultaneously, preventing feedback.
Echo Canceller gently lowers the volume of microphones when the far end is speaking and reduces incoming audio when someone at the near end (in the room) is talking. This prevents echoes and ensures clear two-way communication.
Howling Limiter protects against feedback by spotting and controlling the screeching noise that occurs when sound from a speaker re-enters the microphone.
In-room feedback suppression further reduces feedback during voice-lift by slightly and continuously changing the pitch of the amplified sound and helping to prevent feedback.
Integrated mixer
Enables to mix different audio signals using the Plus system's Hub.
1.Mix in external audio inputs:
- - USB-IN: Far-end audio in video conferences
- - AUX-IN: Other audio sources with analog output
- - Dante-IN: Digital audio from network sources
2.Create different mixed outputs in the Hub settings.
Note: Any audio processing done by the Hub only applies to Plus system microphones and won't be applied to inputted 3rd party audio signals.

USB connectivity USB connectivity
The Hub features USB-C IN and OUT connectivity. This connection allows you to send audio from the Hub to your video conferencing call and also bring audio from the call back into the room’s speakers if in-room voice-lift is needed.
If you want to use both sending and receiving audio through the Hub, just make sure to turn on “Speakerphone mode” in the Hub’s settings and choose the Hub as the audio input and output on your computer.
All audio inputs and outputs
The Hub features versatile connectivity options for various technical setup scenarios. Enable full manual control using unprocessed Separate balanced mic outputs or let the Hub do the audio management for you using Automix outputs.
Separate balanced mic outputs:
- - Mic 1 - 3-pin, balanced, Mic level
- - Mic 2 - 3-pin, balanced, Mic level
- - Mic 3 - 3-pin, balanced, Mic level
- - Mic 4 - 3-pin, balanced, Mic level
Automix outputs:
- - L&R, 3 pin, balanced, Mic level
- - USB-C, digital outputs
- - RCA, unbalanced, Line level
Audio inputs:
- - USB-C, digital input
- - Aux-in - 3.5mm - unbalanced, Line level
- - Dante®-OUT (configurable for unmixed or mixed output, up to 4 channels depending on Hub configuration)
Note: All inputs and outputs can work simultaneously.

Mix and match up to 4 mics
Heart of the Plus system
The Hub is a DSP receiver at the center of the Plus wireless microphone system. Mix and match up to four Catchbox presenter and audience mics to connect to your Hub.
More than a wireless mic receiver
Built-in DSP and mixer
Get crisp and consistent audio without the need for additional audio processing devices and manual audio management with the Hub’s built-in audio processing and mixer.
Ideal for unsupervised spaces
Explore DSP and mixer benefits
Save costs on additional devices
Save thousands of dollars by eliminating the need for additional audio processing and mixing devices. The Hub packs three devices in one - a wireless mic receiver, DSP and mixer.
Automated audio management
The Hub automatically handles input, output management and audio processing ensuring exceptional audio performance with minimal effort. Anyone can walk in the room, pick up the mic and get crisp, noise-free audio on demand.
Simplify setup and maintenance
No more juggling multiple devices or dealing with intricate device settings. Eliminate setup complexity by using one device.
Integrate into existing setups
Complete control and flexibility
The Hub offers separate balanced mic outputs enabling flexibility for manual audio management. Output raw mic signals to your DSP or mixer board for ultimate control.
Don't take our word for it
Feeling sceptical?
We don't blame you. Experience the Plus system's capabilities in a 15-minute live demo and learn why thousands of universities and corporations replace their existing solutions with Catchbox Plus.
Integrate into your network
Networked audio and remote management
Add network connectivity to your Hub to enable ease of maintenance via remote control and monitoring options, PoE and Dante®️ Audio over IP functionality.
Add a Mounting Kit accessory
Installation options
Placement in audio rack
Install one or multiple Hubs in your centralized audio rack. A standard audio rack width (48cm / 19in) supports two Hubs. If you have multiple Hubs you can stack them on top of each other and optionally daisy chain them using Aux IN and RCA OUT.
Secure TV mobile cart placement
Mount the Hub behind a TV screen on a portable cart to enable flexibility to move your Plus system between different rooms. This installation option is enabled by the Hub’s Mounting Kit accessory (available for purchase separately). The Mounting Kit includes dedicated mounting gear for adhesive mounting.
Install as access point
Install the Hub on a wall or ceiling to optimize wireless coverage and performance. Mount the Hub in the center of the room, ideally on the ceiling using the Mounting Kit accessory (available for purchase separately). Connect to your local network to enable Dante®️ and remote control options; enable Stealth mode in Hub settings to lock the screen.
