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.

Re: Small black box on vocal mics.
Couldn't see clearly on my phone but is it an Optigate (or something similar)?

Small battery powered ioniser perhaps?

Re: Small black box on vocal mics.
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!

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