An Essential tool as a monitor engineer
I’ve been using the PB-05M for roughly 8 years on the road mixing monitors, and I won’t mix a show without it. While in the middle of a show, one less button I need to press to talk to my band or crew mates, the better for critical communication. The ability to throw it in the smallest pocket of my backpack means I don’t ever forget to leave home without it.

Just what we needed
This really helped as we added these to all of our vocal mics in the band. It is the first time in a few years that my ears didn’t ring after the show.

Do you want a clean mix? Use Optogates!
I’ve purchased 3 PB-05D Optogates for my 3 wired EV ND86 mics. My live sound mix, as proven by multitrack recordings and board recordings, have much less ambient noise which makes the mix sound much cleaner.
This is a great tool! Thanks for making my live mix so much better!
