Optogate Microphone Gates

Optogates are automatic microphone gate units based on the latest optical technology. Equipped with an infrared sensor, the units plug between the microphone and microphone connector.

If someone is in front of the microphone, the Optogate switches it on. The microphone switches off automatically if nobody is in front of it. Optogates work with 48 Volt phantom power - no AC adaptors / batteries required.

  • Eliminate unwanted background noise into unused mics on stage

  • No sound losses due to the newest analog switching technology

  • Increase clarity and dynamic of mix due to less phase cancellation

  • Get more usuable watts from the system without unwanted noise

  • Reduce the possibility of feedback from unused mics

  • Replace micstands on stage without "thump"

    The Optogate devices have the smallest dimensions and the lowest sensitivity to ambient light on the market. Just plug & play....

    "Road Test"

    ...Itīs simple and amazingly effective. The distance that the eye sees is adjustable and the on/off effect is noiseless...

    ...Bottom line is that for singers who are right up on the mic all the time, the Mic-Mute works wonders for cleaning up the mix. It also works on phantom power, so donīt worry about batteries.

    This is a great little tool. Everybody should have a couple in their toolbox...
