D'Addario Infrared Mic Sensor

Eliminate unwanted stage noise and feedback automatically with the innovative D'Addario 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 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 the Mic Sensor 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 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.
