Hi.
Does anyone know what the little box on the vocal mics in these videos are for?

.......yes, it's a little prompt screen so the singer doesn't forget the words. There is also a mini cam embedded on the front for a closeup of the singers nostrils and tonsils.

Couldn't see clearly on my phone but is it an Optigate (or something similar)?

Small battery powered ioniser perhaps?

Who knows what these rock stars get up to.

I think it's an automatic microphone mute, like an Optogate (but doesn't look like that product). It works with an infrared emitter and sensor. When the singer is within a certain distance of the light's axis, it reflects and unmutes the mic.

Or maybe I'm dreaming!

It is a smartphone so they update their Facebook status.

My students dick around on Facebook all the time. Last thing I want to see is a performer doing it!
