The D'Addario Mic Mute Infrared Mic Sensor is the ultimate solution for vocalists and sound engineers seeking the cleanest performance possible. By automatically muting your microphone when you're not at it, unwanted feedback, stage bleed, and background noises are removed entirely from the mix. The phantom powered* Mic Mute can be adjusted to detect your presence up to 24” from your microphone. From gigs to theater productions, speeches, and more, say goodbye to manual muting and put your focus back on your performance.
