“Mic OFF”
(About -42 db)
- There is now Less possibility of feedback in your unused open mics.
- Greater control of stage volume
- Perception of increased headroom capacity in amps and FOH monitors.
- Sound Clarity everyone will love
From music artists themselves to Front Of House (FOH) , Music Directors (MD’s), Worship Leaders, and yes your live audience demand you get enough automatic mute switch Optogates to improve sound clarity & heal the bleed. ( if you’re in a rock band well then we “kill the bleed” as we bring life to your productions & performances) .
- – 42 dB attenuation, effectively turning the mic off.
