The OPTOGATE (PB-05D) is an automatic microphone gate / switch unit which is based on the latest optical technology. It is The OPTOGATEONLINE.COM is plugged between microphone and cable and is equipped with an infrared sensor. The OPTOGATEONLINE.COM senses if someone is in front of the microphone and will switch on the microphone. The distance can be adjusted via a trim pot from approximately 6 to 48 inches. 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 OPTOTGATE works with 24 – 48 Volt phantom power. The phantom power passes to the microphone so that you can use a condenser or dynamic microphone. A small push button on the top allows the user to toggle between “Mic On Always/Bypass Mode” and “Optogate Enabled/Gating enabled”. Turning phantom power off to the mic bypasses the OPTOGATEONLINE.COM and allows the mic signal to pass through the unpowered unit.

The OPTOGATE is ideal for lead and backing vocal mics, acoustical instruments and talk back mics. The OPTOGATE is the best and easiest solution for the most common problems in live applications. It eliminates unwanted background noise of other instruments into unused microphones on stage.
