Microphone Instructions
This room is equipped with microphones in two flavors!
A Lavalier Microphone is available in a zipper pouch below. Turn on the pack using the switch located at the top. Adjust the volume by using the Present Volume button (not the knob!) located on the right side of the media panel. There is no visual indicator for the volume level, so you will need to adjust by ear.
The Catchbox microphones are the blue and orange plush cubes located below. To use them, remove the inner core and flip the switch on. Each catchbox corresponds to one side of the room and will be amplified for the other side of the room.
- There's two switches! One on the pack, and the other by the battery!
- Both the Lavalier microphone and the Catchbox will also feed into Zoom and Teams meetings.
- When finished, please turn off the microphones and return them to their original locations!
- Spare batteries should be available nearby for any emergencies
