Crowd Mics™ empowers audience interaction by turning smartphones into wireless microphones. Whether in the same room as the presenter or across the globe, Crowd Mics allows live event attendees to use their phone as a wireless mic, text questions, and participate in polls, providing everyone with the same great experience regardless of their location. Crowd Mics is comprised of two apps — one for event attendees and the other for moderators — and a small, pre-configured hardware host device, the ATOM.

The ATOM serves as the central connection point between the attendee and moderator apps and the room’s AV system. It supports four audio output interfaces: 3.5mm minijack, Euroblock connector, HDMI embedded audio, and USB audio. Any combination of these outputs can be used simultaneously. Optionally, the ATOM can be connected to the room’s displays via HDMI to project poll results or other event content, and can be remotely monitored and managed via SageVue™ 2.0.

Crowd Mics is perfect for the participants and moderators of presentations, lectures, panel discussions or other similar events ranging in size up to 1000 attendees.
