Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a togglable audio ducking device preferably with a mechanically triggered pressure-sensitive floor pad that detects pressure when a user's body weight is in the proximity of the microphone. The mechanically triggered pressure-sensitive floor pad may allow the user to effectively reduce ambient noise bleed into microphones without muting the microphone (i.e. audio ducking). In other embodiments, the togglable audio ducking device may be operated using a magnetic switch attached to a microphone stand, which is triggered when the microphone stand rotates in a particular direction to a certain degree.
Claims20
A togglable audio ducking device, comprising:
- an audio circuit;
- a power circuit;
- an audio ducking switch;
- and
- an audio ducking circuit configured to reduce a level of an audio signal into the audio circuit,
- wherein the audio circuit, the power circuit, the audio ducking switch, and the audio ducking circuit are in togglable electronic communication, and
- wherein the audio ducking switch has a first position which allows for electronic communication between the audio circuit and the power circuit, and a second position which prevents the electronic communication between the audio circuit and the power circuit.
