Optogate PB-05 M IR MIC MUTE A Music Directors Top Choice for talk back mic communications Optogate PB-05 M Automatic Microphone Switches have been around for over a decade! This gadget is the top special request from lead vocalists doing live performances to their primary touring companies, audio production companies, sound engineers, & audio technicians. For better control of Stage volume We suggest for every hard wired vocal microphone on stage to put an Optogate on it! This Optogate model PB-05 M : Attaches through the back of the mic through the 3 pin XLR male and female attachment areas. No batteries or extra cables required -it is phantom powered through your mixer. Includes tool to set the proximity sensor distance to the musicians vocal technique. Using Infrared Proximity sensor now when musician is ready to sing they lean in line with Mic “Mic ON” when musician needs a break or needs to chat to someone else lean back out of range “Mic OFF” (About -42 db) There is now Less possibility of feedback in your unused open mics. Greater control of stage volume Perception of increased headroom capacity in amps and FOH monitors. Sound Clarity everyone will love From music artists themselves to Front Of House (FOH) , Music Directors (MD’s), Worship Leaders, and yes your live audience demand you get enough automatic mute switch Optogates to improve sound clarity & heal the bleed. ( if you’re in a rock band well then we “kill the bleed” as we bring life to your productions & performances) . When musician is in range of sensor : Mic is On When musician is out of range of sensor: Mic is off. – 42 dB attenuation, effectively turning the mic off. – XLR 3-pin connectors (1 = gnd, 2 = plus, 3 = minus) The PB-05 is available in 2 versions. If using in ear monitors or talk back mics get the PB-05 D (audio-duck) Both units can be used with dynamic or condenser mics, have an adjustable distance “sensitivity” and have a bypass switch on top of the unit.
