Optogate PB-05 M
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.

- 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.
- now when musician is ready to sing
“Mic ON”
- when musician needs a break or needs to chat to someone else
“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. ( we don’t wanna say “kill the bleed” because we wanna bring life to your productions & performances) .
