About Convergent Design Erika

Multiple Uses
Erika is ideal for Zoom, livestreaming, webinars, podcasting, and content creation. The Erika Wireless USB receiver seamlessly connects to your PC/Mac without the added cost/complexity of an external converter box. USB audio compatibility enables a wide range of applications such as Zoom, Teams, WebEx, OBS, V Mix, Audacity, Audition, Premiere, FCP, GarageBand, and any USB audio program.

Crystal-clear audio without the wires
Typically worn on your shirt/blouse, the Erika mic makes it easy to maintain a consistent audio level, and you no longer need a pop-filter. Quality digital audio processing, combined with noise and echo reduction, maintains excellent sound quality, even in challenging environments. Room echo and laptop fan noise are diminished, creating a far more natural-sounding voice.

Dynamic Switching Eliminates Mixer & Open Mics
Erika's patent-pending dynamic switching eliminates the need for an audio mixer in multi-mic applications. The wireless receiver continuously evaluates the audio level on all mics, selecting one active mic, while temporarily muting all others. Noise and echoes from open mics are eliminated and RF wireless trafiic is minimized.

Inconspicuous, Multiple Colors
The ultra-miniature mic has a non-reflective matte finish with no visible markings to distract your audience. The tiny 1.5 x 0.8x 0.4" (38 x 21x 10mm) mic, designed to go unnoticed, is comparable in size to common lavalier mics .Featherweight at0.5-ounce (16-grams), Erika uses a simple magnetic attachment compatible with dress-shirts / blouses / suit-jackets / t-shirts. No more complicated and intrusive under-the-shirt wires and body-packs. Available in black, white, red, green and blue.

24-Hour Battery Run time
Industry-leading24-hour run time (typical in voice mode) eliminates battery swap-out / recharge down time issues. The mic arrives fully charged from the factory. Fifteen minutes of charge time provides 2 hours of runtime; full charge in under 3 hours. Automatic power-on/power-off minimizes dead batteries-pick-up to power-up, set face-down to power-down.

Unlike wired USB mics, Erika requires almost no desktop space. The mic will not obstruct your face or view, and the system is easy to transport. The kit includes a hardcase which doubles as a stand to hold the wireless USB receiver in a vertical position, maximizing range. No driver or app is required. Just plug the receiver into a USB port on your laptop, pick up the mic, and start talking.

WIFI Coexistence, No Frequency Obsolescence
Designed to coexist with WIFI and Bluetooth devices, Erika requires no channel/group setup. Auto-adaptive frequency hopping continuously optimizes the RF transmission without user intervention. Operating at 2.4 GHz, frequency band obsolescence, common in analog mics, is never a concern.
