...Now you can, just use your guitar cable for your in ear signals ! No more problems with empty batteries and the well known wireless problems with your in ear system.

You know the "funny" problems when it comes to di boxes: No signal bargraph, the result is marathon running between stage and desk and looking for signals. These problems are past now. The new transformerless "Smart DI" have an integrated microcontroller and an LCD display. The XLR output is muted if no connector is plugged in and will be switched on after about 0,8 sec. if an input connector will be plugged in. A footswitch allow the artist to mute the Smart DI for any reasons. 

The PB-05 is an automatic microphone gate unit which is based on the latest optical technology. The PB-05 is plugged between microphone and cable. It's equipped with an infrared sensor. The PB-05 senses if someone is in front of the microphone and will switch on the microphone. The distance can be adjusted between 15cm and 120cm with the help of a Trim Pot. The microphone will be switched off automatically if nobody is in front of it. A red status LED indicates if the microphone is switched on. The PB-05 works with 48 Volt phantom power. Condensor microphones can be used in connection with the PB-05. The phantom power passes the microphone. A small push button on the top allows the user to toggle between "Mic On" and "Optogate Enable". The PB-05 is ideal for lead and backing voval mics, acoustical instruments and talk back mics. The PB-05 ist the best and easiest solution for the most common problems in live applications. It eleminates unwanted backgound noise of other instruments into unused microphones on stage. So, the clarity of the mix and the dynamics will be increased due to less phase cancellation and backgound noise. It reduces the possibility of feedback from unused mics. Just plug & Play...

The Optogate PB-06 is our microphone gate unit that can be fixed under a table. On this model both XLR-plugs are on the rear of the device. The PB-06 is equipped with an infrared sensor as well and senses if someone is in front of the microphone in order to switch on the microphone. The distance can be adjusted between 15cm and 120cm with the help of a Trim Pot. Inside the case is a 5mm hole for the possobility to fix the PB-06 under a table.

After taking into account our customers suggestions we developed the PB-07. On this model the sensor is on the flat side. Like the other models the Pb-07 will switch on the microphone if someone is in front of the mic. A red status LED indicates if the microphone is switched on. The PB-07 will switch off the microphone if nobody is in front of the mic. The distance can be adjusted between 15cm and 120cm with the help of Trim Pot. On the back is a 4mm threaded hole for the possibility to mount a clip on the PB-07. In this case the PB-07 can be installed on a mic stand and will disappear behind of the stand. The PB-07 can be connected to a gooseneck microphone as well. The PB-07 works with 48 Volt phantom power and the phantom power passes on the microphone.

The Optogate PB-09 is integrated in a mic table stand. As with the other models it will switch on the microphone if someone is in front of the mic. The stand base has a "Mic On" button that can be used as "Push To Talk" or "Mic Latch" switch. These functions as well as the Optogate function are user programmable with three dip switches. A fully isolated control input connector allows the "Remote Control" of the mic in order that a moderator of a conference can switch on or switch off the mic of other participant. The PB-09 is powered with 48 Volt phantom power. The phantom power passes the microphone. The 1,2 kg heavy base is cast iron and three rubber feet provide a good degree acoustical isolation.

Everybody knows the 2 problems with the use of movement detectors for a room light control: No movement - no light after a while or the light is still on, even if the last person already left the room...

Here is the solution: The PB-10 recognizes the motion direction of a person by the door with the assistance of 2 independent infrared sensors. 2 small sensors in a door will send the signal to the PB-10. An internal person counter will save the number of persons in the room and a relay will switch on the light when the number of persons is > 0. The light will be switched off when the last person leaves the room.

The Mini Audio Lab is a useful tool for many situations in live applications. A switchable high precision sine wave generator with 30 ISO frequencies is wired to a symmetrical 3 pin male XLR connector. A pink noise generator is also implemented. An additional 1 Watt amplifier, wired to a NL4 connector allows for an easy speaker check. The sound pressure level of the different ISO frequencies can be meausured with a small electret microphone. The Mini Audio Lab will display the sound pressure of the different ISO frequencies. This gives the engineer the opportunity for an easy pre adjustment of the FOH equalizer. A feedback frequency indicator and a delay measure function is also provided.

A 3 Phase Overvoltage Protection in a DIN rail box is available as well. An implemented relay can switch off an external 3 phase relay if overvoltages are be present. A 19” lcd display unit with a serial port and a 3 phase current sensor are available as option. 3 switch buttons in the display unit allow the user to check the actual current or the overvoltage trigger point. The last switch button could be used as remote control for the OVP relay. A 12V gooseneck lamp connector is implemented in the display unit as well.

The Cable Check One allows an easy test of 6 bars, 4 bars as well as 8 pin Speakon cables and xlr cables. The connector plate can be easily changed for an other connector plate.

This handy device is avaible in two different versions: One a Pink Noise generator and the other a 100Hz sine wave generator. Just connect the XLR generator to a desk, switch on the phantom power and the generator will start. In the case of defective cable in the twisted pair the built in LED flashes 2 or 3 times to indicate a fault on the connector pins 2 or 3. If the LED does not illuminate the phantom power is off or the ground of the cable is not connected. The cable might be ok if the LED is on continuously and the generator is working. The output of the XLR generator is balanced. 

This is a two-component kit consisting of a phantom-powered "transmitter", built in to a XLR connector and a battery-powered "receiver". Used on its own, the transmitter can check the integrity of the cabling to the mixer. If the cable is undamaged and all three wires are connected, a direct tone is sent to mixer. If not a LED mounted in the connector indicates the nature of the fault. When used with the receiver unit, the combination can also check that the two signal wires are connected in phase or pin-to-pin. If the receiver is used as a source of test pulses to feed a sound system, the receiver can check the phase of the resulting acoustic signal picked up from the internal microphone, or an external microphone.

This is possibly the smallest XLR multitester with built in microprocessor in the world. It contains an XLR cable tester as well as a 48V phantom power tester and a 120Hz sine generator. It fits in every pocket. The XLR-Multitester can recognize defects like short circuits, wrong polarity and broken wires. Three status leds indicate the test result. The tester is also able to check the 48V phantom power on pin 2 and pin 3 of the XLR when connected to a console. A 120Hz sine wave tone is sent to the mixer if the phantom power is ok. A small 3 Volt, Cr1220 provides the power for the cable test. When connected to the mixer it will use the phantom power from the console for the test.

Do you have expensive quipment that needs to be protected from overvoltages? The Overvolt Protection Unit "Powerline Guard" is the solution. This small box is connected to the mains while your equipemtn is connected to the Schuko socket. In the case of overvoltages the box will switch off immediately (< 0,02 sec) the 230V from the schuko socket and an implemented piezo beeper will beep "SOS" as long as overvoltage is present. The Schuko socket will be switched on automatically when the mains line voltage is ok again. The trigger voltage range is adjustable with a small trim pot. A temperature switch switches off the Powerline Guard completely after about 4 minutes when overvoltage above 400 Volt are present for a longer time.

Are you tired as guitar player on stage to be "fixed" beside of your footboard when you want to change to your solo sound? This problem is now a matter of the past.
