Description

Eliminate unwanted stage noise and feedback automatically with the innovative D'Addario Mic Mute Infrared Mic Sensor. Tired of frantic dashes to mute your mic or awkward bleed from unattended microphones? This smart device uses cutting-edge infrared technology to detect your presence, instantly silencing the mic signal the moment you step away and seamlessly unmuting it when you return. It's the ultimate hands-free muting solution designed for cleaner, more professional audio in any live situation.

Automatic Microphone Muting for Seamless Performances

The D'Addario Infrared Mic Sensor ensures your audio stays clean and focused. By automatically muting unused mics, it drastically reduces the chance of feedback loops and cuts down on unwanted stage bleed or background-noise pickup. This allows performers and presenters to focus entirely on their delivery without worrying about manually hitting mute buttons or causing audio mishaps. Its compact design integrates easily into standard microphone setups, making it an essential stage accessory for anyone demanding pristine sound and effortless operation during gigs, presentations or services.

How Does the D'Addario Mic Mute Infrared Mic Sensor Work?

It uses an infrared sensor to detect whether a person is directly in front of the microphone within its active range. When you step away, interrupting the sensor's detection, it automatically triggers a mute circuit on the microphone's audio signal path. When you step back into range, it automatically unmutes the signal, ensuring audio is only passed when you are present.

Will It Work With Any Microphone or Stand?

The D'Addario Infrared Mic Sensor is designed for broad compatibility with standard microphones (dynamic and condenser, check phantom power passthrough if needed) and common microphone stands or clips used in live performance and presentation environments. Its physical mounting and standard XLR connections aim for easy integration into most professional setups.

Is the D'Addario Mic Mute Infrared Mic Sensor Easy to Set Up?

Yes, the sensor is designed for straightforward integration. It typically mounts easily onto a standard microphone stand or clip and connects in-line with your existing XLR cable run (one cable from mic to sensor, another from sensor to mixer/snake). Power requirements need to be met (check specific model), but the physical setup is generally quick and intuitive.

    I am a professional Mobile DJ. I saw a band using this during rehearsal. They let me try it! I fell in love. Bought one from Dom an advisor at Guitar Center online. I put it to use immediately. Dialable detection. I can now talk to clients & guests without always reaching for the mute button on my mic channel on my Mackie board. No more guest conversations leaking onto the dancefloor or runaway feedback. Quick & silent on/off while I move away or step back to talk. Red LED indicates it sensed me! It does require phantom power. No batteries to mess with. Easy plug inline.

  • Works as advertised with a few limitations..

    This mic mute works as advertised, although it will not work with 24 V phantom pedals such as TC electronics mic mechanic two and harmonizer.

    I bought this product because I use a talkback in an enclosed drum set, a lot of the band members were complaining thag the drums were bleeding through my mic a lot and this fixed it really well. The automatic gate works really good an I reccommend it especially for the price!

  • Work flawless!

    This is a productive I've been wanting for, but didn't want to break the bank with other options. This is budget friendly and works exactly how it supposed. I am the MD and guitar player for my church, and this keeps me from having another button to push with my feet.

  • Better and cheaper
