Convergent Design ERIKA 1 Overview

Free your computer-based recording or livestreaming rig from the constraints of cables and complicated set up with the Convergent Design Erika, a wireless USB microphone system that's ultracompact, extremely simple, and cost-effective, making it ideal for content creators, podcasters, mobile journalists, educators, and more. The system comprises a miniature USB receiver with a stand and an equally tiny transmitter with a built-in omni microphone.

The mic/transmitter unit features a USB-rechargeable battery and a convenient magnetic attachment method, allowing it to be used as a lavalier mic or a table mic. Set it face down to mute it, or let the AutoMute function automatically cut the signal when the mic is taken out of the work area. Gain can be adjusted in your operating system's sound settings. Separate firmware versions are available for Voice mode (22.050 kHz) and Music mode (44.1 kHz), and the transmission power is adjustable to optimize battery life (24 hours max) or range (300' max). Use a single Erika system or add up to three more units (available separately) to individually mic up to four subjects.

Goodbye Complex, Hello Simple
With Erika, you can skip the difficulties of traditional bodypack wireless systems and use a wearable miniature microphone that's truly cable-free.
Ultra-Miniature Wireless Mic
Erika's fully integrated, all-in-one design combines the mic, battery, and transmitter elements into an incredibly tiny form factor. Plus, it is featherweight with long battery life up to 24 hours. You'll never have to worry about bodypacks, wires, buttons, menus, AA batteries, setup, or intrusive "mic-ups." It boasts simple magnetic attachment and "pick-up to power-up" operation.
Music to Your Ears
Not only does Erika provide audio quality equal to wired USB mics, but it also reduces laptop fan noise and echoes and requires no pop filter. Its omnidirectional polar pattern delivers consistent audio quality, even as you walk around your office/studio or turn your back to the class.
Freedom of Speech
Free from being chained to your wired USB mic and free from laptop fan noise and echoes, Erika offers a high-quality and user-friendly experience. The mic (black) does not block your face while the receiver (white) has a small desktop footprint. You're free to move about and express yourself.
Model of Simplicity
The entire Erika wireless mic system is simple to set up and easy to transport. The USB receiver plugs directly into your Mac/Windows computer and the mic wirelessly connects to the receiver via proprietary 2.4 GHz technology. Instant pairing and automatic channel selection ensure that you don't have to concern yourself with manual configuration. Additionally, the AutoMute function virtually eliminates "hot-mic" embarrassments. The receiver even blinks when it's time to charge your mic.
Extensive Compatibility
Erika works with Zoom, OBS, Facebook, Teams, Meet, WebEx, VMix, Audacity, Audition, Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Vegas, GarageBand, Logic Pro, and any program supporting USB audio at 22.05 / 44.1 kHz.
Solo or Multi-Unit Operation
Use a single Erika mic for content creation, webinars, livestreaming, solo podcasts, or as a table mic in meetings with multiple participants. Connect multiple Erika systems to individually mic up several podcast guests or interviewees.
Made in the USA
Erika is designed and made in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Plan for the Future
Designed to provide many years of trouble-free, reliable operation, offering a great return on your investment, Erika won't grow stale, as new features are planned via firmware updates.
