Description of πŸŽ™οΈ Erika: The Advanced Audio Conference System with Speaker Identification & Video Overlay, Offering Pristine Audio Quality for 20 Participants in Any Room. Compatible with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and More!

[Ultra-Tiny Mic, 25-Hour Battery] The ultra-tiny Erika mic (in black or white) is an all-in-one design, including a microphone, 300' range transmitter, and a record-setting 25-hour battery. Featherweight, at only 1⁄2 oz, the mic attaches to your shirt using a magnet. It's easy to forget you're wearing Erika! The mic has no buttons, no body-pack, no under-the-shirt wires. The wireless receiver is USB-powered (no batteries) and requires no drivers or software for installation. [20-Mics to 1-Receiver] Patent-pending dynamic-switching sets Erika apart from all other wireless microphones. Instead of one or two mics to one receiver, Erika can support 20. Using dynamic-switching, Erika constantly evaluates the audio level of all the mics, enabling only one mic while muting all others. Seamlessly switching from mic to mic facilitates natural, uninterrupted conversations. In addition, background noise, echoes, and reverb from inactive mics echoes are blocked. [Fits in Your Shirt Pocket] Erika consists of 3 essential components: one or more wireless microphones (up to 20), a multi-channel wireless receiver, and a USB cable. Just pop open the hard case, connect the receiver to your laptop/phone, attach the mic(s) and start your conference or live stream. A free downloadable Erika app displays the system volume and the individual mic battery level. The app also controls firmware updates, wireless power, spotlight, and rotate to mute. [Work From Anywhere] Ideal for Zoom/Teams conferences, live-streaming, content-creation, vlogging & podcasting, Erika offers superb audio quality with wireless freedom. Expandable up to 20-mics to one receiver, Erika enables 100% coverage of all conference participants from anywhere in the room. Perfect for work from anywhere (WFA) collaborative applications. For live streaming, Erika can save up to 75% of the cost of traditional wireless analog mics and audio mixer-based systems. [Worldwide Compatibility] Erika is compatible with PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android systems. Erika utilizes a standard USB 2.0 audio driver included within the OS. Compatible programs include Zoom/Teams/Meet/RingCentral, OBS/Wirecast, YouTube/FB, and Audacity/Audition. Operating in the 2.4GHz spectrum, Erika will co-exist with WIFI and Bluetooth devices. To avoid interference, Erika employs a sophisticated frequency hopping algorithm, changing channels at over 600 times/second.

Expandable to 12 mics without an audio mixer... Great

Broadcasting an event live with multiple analog wireless microphones and multiple wireless receivers connected to an audio mixer can be a real challenge. Lots of gear, cables, AA batteries and RF channels for control. During the event, you constantly control the volume of individual microphones and mute and unmute the microphones to avoid feedback and echoes. This is very stressful and comes with a high price. Erica seems to promise a much simpler approach. While I've only tested one mic that…

Pros
  • Looks great
Cons
  • So-so

Breakthrough Wireless Microphone

I've used several Convergent Design products over the years, most recently the Apollo VCR. I have always been very impressed with the quality and reliability of all their products. These guys are super innovators, they are always leading the industry with new ideas and new features. It looks like the Erika wireless microphone is going to be a game changer. No bodypack, no cables under your shirt, expandable to 12 microphones without a mixer, super small and easy to connect. No need to install…

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to it
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Finally a solution for virtual group meetings!

One of the biggest challenges our organization has faced since the end of COVID has been managing hybrid meetings where half the attendees sat together in a room and the other half attended virtually. Our board and all staff meetings were moved to Zoom during the pandemic, but as immunizations helped ensure a safe environment we wanted to return to in-person meetings; However, there was pressure to keep Zoom as an option for those who didn't want to travel or still didn't feel safe personally…

Pros
  • Broad Spectrum
Cons
  • Almost OK

Highly Recommended - Solve many audio issues - Easy to use

Too many videos on YouTube, Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings have bad audio. I used to use my laptop's microphone. After I switched to Erica, others immediately noticed that I sounded much better. Then I did a poll and everyone agreed. Laptop microphones pick up too much noise and your mouth is too far away. And that's especially problematic when there are multiple people sitting around the conference table for a Zoom call. Some are heard, some are not. Erica minimizes laptop noise, room noise

Pros
  • Awesome
Cons
  • Anything I can add
