Optogate pb-05

After years of looking at these, I finally ordered one today. It will really clean up my in-ear mix and get more of the drum bleed out of the FOH. Too bad the other guys in the band wouldn't order them too. Between this and using a speaker simulated di for my IEM mix and FOH, Im doing my part not to clutter the mix.

The pb-05 arrived today. It's very light and seems well built. I plan to leave it attached to my mic at all times. I won't get to use it at a gig for another week but, I expect good results with it. We will be at a club that is normally a nightmare for sound because we get so much drum wash bouncing out of a corner into the mics.

Used this at one gig. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and really helped clean up some of the drum/cymbal bleed into the vocal mics. I'll probably need a few gigs to get the sensativity adjusted right but, I think it's going to work well.
