D'Addario Mic Mute Infrared Sensor System

Performance-First Precision: Total Control, Hands-Free

The D'Addario Mic Mute Infrared Sensor is a smart, inline solution for stage bleed and feedback. By detecting your proximity, it automatically mutes your signal the moment you step away and restores it as you return. It is an essential workflow upgrade for singing drummers, touring vocalists, and presenters seeking a cleaner IEM mix and a professional front-of-house sound.

Smart Proximity Detection
Using advanced infrared technology, the device creates an adjustable active zone up to 60cm in front of the capsule. This allows for a "switchless" talkback or vocal setup where the microphone only activates when you are ready to perform, effectively silencing loud stage elements like drums or guitar amps that would otherwise bleed into the signal.

Seamless Inline Integration
The Mic Mute is designed to be completely unobtrusive, connecting directly to your microphone's XLR output without interfering with standard clips or stands. It draws power directly from 48V phantom power, removing the need for batteries or external power supplies, ensuring reliable performance throughout long sets.

Intuitive On-Stage Adjustability
This sensor features a numbered thumbwheel for precise distance calibration on the fly, allowing you to set the activation range from 0 to 60cm. A front-facing red LED provides immediate visual feedback on the microphone's status, while a dedicated bypass button allows you to override the automation for standard operation whenever required.
