Biamp Crowd Mics ATOM - Audience Engagement System

Crowd Mics turns every audience member's smartphone into a wireless microphone. Whether attendees are in the room with the presenter or joining from across the globe, Crowd Mics lets them use their own phone to ask questions, send text messages to the moderator, and take part in live polls — giving everyone the same great experience regardless of location. The system is comprised of two free apps (one for attendees, one for moderators) and a small, pre-configured hardware host device: the ATOM.

The ATOM is the central connection point between the attendee and moderator apps and your room's AV system. It supports four audio output interfaces — 3.5mm minijack, Euroblock connector, HDMI embedded audio, and USB audio — any combination of which can be used simultaneously, so it drops straight into almost any existing PA or display setup. Two HDMI outputs can mirror poll results and event content to room displays, and the whole system can be remotely monitored and managed via SageVue 2.0.

Both apps run on Apple devices (iOS 9.0+) and the attendee app also supports Android (v10.0+); the moderator interface is also accessible from any modern web browser. All interfaces are localised in over 20 languages. Crowd Mics is ideal for presentations, lectures, panel discussions, and similar events with up to 1,000 attendees.
