The family of Phantom Mic Riders is now expanded to include the new Phantom Gooseneck and Podium Microphones. In yet another technological breakthrough from Sabine, these mics include the Phantom Mic Rider Pro built in to every unit. And, just as in the Pro line of Phantoms, you can choose between the full feature set or just the Infrared Gate. These new mics feature a high-output, crystal-clear electret condenser capsules in either a cardioid or super cardioid pattern. Integrated into each capsule is Sabine's infrared sensor which detects the presence of a person standing at the mic. Now your mic will always come on at the right moment - no more missing those cues! Using the adjustable Infrared Gate you can program the mic to switch on and off depending how close the person is to the mic. You can also program how fast the mic turns off after the person steps away.
