An accessory designed to ensure reliable speech capture within the D'Addario ecosystem
The D'Addario Infrared Mic Sensor (PW-IRMM-01) is part of a range of accessories dedicated to professional environments where signal clarity and operational fluidity are as important as the microphone quality itself. On stage, in the studio, or in places of worship, it provides a simple solution to a common problem: an open microphone picks up everything, even when not in use. By automating mute management, it contributes to a cleaner sound and better-controlled amplification without changing your usual cabling habits.
For singers, speakers, and technicians who want a microphone always "at the right moment"
This sensor is particularly relevant for speakers, hosts, singers, and any situation where there is quick alternation between being at the microphone and stepping away (moving, reading from a music stand, stage interactions). From a technical perspective, sound engineers and technicians gain an effective tool to limit unwanted noise, reduce feedback risks, and maintain a clearer mix, especially when multiple microphones are installed and not everyone is active at the same time.
Infrared detection and XLR integration: discreet and effective automation
Based on infrared technology, the PW-IRMM-01 detects the presence of a speaker in the microphone zone and automatically activates or mutes the signal depending on their position. The result: less hiss, less unnecessary ambient pickup, and more comfortable daily management without relying on manual intervention.
Simple installation between the microphone and the console
The sensor is placed inline via XLR, between the microphone and the console (or an interface). This approach avoids complex settings: you keep your usual audio chain while adding an automatic mute function. Powering via 48 V phantom power allows quick setup without batteries or recharging.
Adjustable range to suit the stage
The adjustable range (up to approximately 60 cm) facilitates adaptation to different contexts: microphone on a stand for vocals, music stand, close speaking, or fixed installation. By adjusting the distance, you can fine-tune the mute behavior to avoid unwanted cutoffs and achieve natural activation aligned with your way of positioning yourself in front of the microphone.

Questions frequently asked
Does the D'Addario PW-IRMM-01 operate with 48 V phantom power?
Power is supplied via 48 V phantom power, with no battery or charging required. The sensor plugs into the XLR connection between the microphone and the mixer or interface.
What detection range does this infrared mute sensor offer?
The range is adjustable up to approximately 60 cm to adapt the automatic activation according to the position in front of the microphone.
How to connect an automatic mute sensor to a mixer?
The XLR input receives the microphone signal, while the XLR output connects to the mixer or an interface. This inline setup preserves the usual cabling chain. A 48 V phantom power supply must be available on the corresponding input.
Can this sensor help reduce feedback with multiple open microphones?
The automatic signal cut-off when the speaker moves away limits ambient pickup and unwanted noise. This feature helps reduce the risk of feedback in setups with multiple microphones.
What are the dimensions of the PW-IRMM-01?
The housing measures approximately 60 x 23 x 40 mm and weighs around 60 g.
