OPTOGATE MIC LIFT
The Mic Lift motorised adapter solves one of the most common problems in conference applications, that of getting the microphone at the optimum height for both acoustic performance and visual appearance. It can be mounted on a microphone stand and gives the engineer the ability to change the height of a microphone remotely, without leaving their place in a control room or front-of-house location, or having a crew member make the adjustment.
The unit is clamped to the lower section of a mic stand (just below the locking sleeve), and two small electric motors with rubber wheels grip the inner section of the stand and raise or lower it as required. The unit is controlled by a supplied remote control, which uses an XLR 3-pin connector so is readily linked to the unit via a normal 2-core screened mic cable or channel in a multicore stage cable. It is powered from eight AA size batteries mounted internally, or by a 12V DC external supply (not supplied - order seperately. See index ‘Friwo Power Supplies’ for a suitable power supply and contact set).
It is designed to operate with K&M microphone stands, but to special order can be manufactured with differently sized clamps and drive wheel spacings for other makes of stand.
Included accessories: Remote control, plug-in AC power supply.
