The SpeedQuizzing Hub allows the players’ handsets to communicate with the Quiz Hosting Software. It is possible to demo the system using a standard home WiFi network, however for professional use, a SpeedQuizzing Hub must be purchased. Check it out here.

Microphone / Sound System
Unless you have a really loud voice and are only hosting to a small handful of people, a microphone connected into an adequate sound system is required in order for instructions and quiz questions to be read out loud and clear – £455
Amplified Audio Output
The sounds generated by the SpeedQuizzing software through the host computer’s headphone output are a big part of the SpeedQuizzing experience. These should be amplified loud and clear for all players to hear.
