D’Addario’s Infrared Mic Mute is an innovative, hands-free solution for performers, engineers and presenters. Originally launched in June, the device automatically mutes microphones when not in use, reducing unwanted feedback, stage bleed and background noise. Its phantom-powered infrared sensor detects presence up to 24 inches from the mic, muting instantly when a user steps away and reactivating when they return. Ideal for live performances, theater, lectures and panel discussions, the IR Mic Mute keeps users focused on their performance rather than their equipment.
