Phantom Powered DSP for Microphones - Imagine someone shows you a product that solves every major problem you’ve had with a microphone (including poor mic technique), installs by plugging right into the microphone, and makes the power of digital signal processing completely affordable. How about if it would work on just about every podium, gooseneck, or handheld mic you ever used? A product like that could only come from Sabine, the industry leader in innovative audio products. The all new Sabine Phantom Mic Rider is the world’s first phantom powered DSP unit, and it delivers on that dream.

Just plug in your mic and get these five audio solutions:

• FBX Feedback Exterminator. The famous Sabine processor increases gain before feedback.
• Automatic Gain ControlControls gain as user moves toward and away from the mic.
• Proximity Effect Control Controls excess bass sound as you get closer to the mic and maintains flat frequency response at all distances from the mic.
• Plosive Control Controls the loud pops and bursts from certain consonant sounds in speech.
• Infrared GateTurns the mic on and off automatically using a sensor that reacts to body heat.

The Phantom delivers benefits for everyone involved with your sound system. Whether they are loud talkers or meek mumblers, all your presenters will appreciate the consistent sound quality and managed gain provided by the Phantom. The technicians will love the fast and easy installation and setup, and they can leave the mic unattended knowing the adaptive functions of the Phantom will take care of feedback, gain, and clarity. The Phantom even turns the mic off when no one is front of it using the included, detachable infrared sensor. The audience will appreciate the clear sound and increased intelligibility, and your accounting department will love the price.

Getting a Phantom is like having an engineer in every microphone who manages the gain, drops in parametric filters to kill feedback, tweaks the EQ when the speaker gets too close, edits out the plosive sounds without affecting the audio, and turns the mic off if no one is near it. With all these features in one small package, all for such a great price, you can afford to put one on every mic in your system.
