SABINE PMRGP112 Details
Create a Worry-Free Zone for all Your Unattended Mics
Imagine someone shows you a product that solves every major problem you’ve had with a microphone (including poor mic technique), installs by plugging right into the microphone, and makes the power of digital signal processing completely affordable. How about if it would work on just about every podium, gooseneck, or handheld mic you ever used? A product like that could only come from Sabine, the industry leader in innovative audio products. The all new Sabine Phantom Mic Rider is the world’s first phantom powered DSP unit, and it delivers on that dream.
Elegant and simple, the Phantom is a real breakthrough. The key is phantom-powered DSP – a first in the industry. Your DSP processing is now customizable and physically located at each microphone! Think of the applications: retrofit every podium mic at your church, school, boardroom, or teleconferencing center. Get one on every mic you specify from now on!
Just plug in your mic and get these five audio solutions:
FBX Feedback Exterminator
The famous Sabine processor increases gain before feedback.
Automatic Gain Control
Controls gain as user moves toward and away from the mic.
Proximity Effect Control
Controls excess bass sound as you get closer to the mic and maintains flat frequency response at all distances from the mic.
Plosive Control
Controls the loud pops and bursts from certain consonant sounds in speech.
Infrared Gate
Turns the mic on and off automatically using a sensor that
reacts to body heat.
The Phantom delivers benefits for everyone involved with your sound system. Whether they are loud talkers or meek mumblers, all your presenters will appreciate the consistent sound quality and managed gain provided by the Phantom. The technicians will love the fast and easy installation and setup, and they can leave the mic unattended knowing the adaptive functions of the Phantom will take care of feedback, gain, and clarity. The Phantom even turns the mic off when no one is front of it using the included, detachable infrared sensor. The audience will appreciate the clear sound and increased intelligibility, and your accounting department will love the price.
Getting a Phantom is like having an engineer in every microphone who manages the gain, drops in parametric filters to kill feedback, tweaks the EQ when the speaker gets too close, edits out the plosive sounds without affecting the audio, and turns the mic off if no one is near it. With all these features in one small package, all for such a great price, you can afford to put one on every mic in your system.
Typical Phantom Installation
Phantom Installation is a Snap
Installing and setting up your Phantom is extraordinarily easy. Just insert the Phantom between the mic’s base (or podium if the mic is flush mounted) and the connector on your gooseneck mic. The installation is done. The controls (hidden beneath the security cover) will allow you to make a few adjustments to customize the Phantom for each situation. Set the Phantom for your mic’s sensitivity, then set your FBX filters and tweak the proximity and plosive controls if necessary. The whole process will take a minute or two, and you are ready to go. The Phantom’s DSP will always be there improving your sound. Its like having an engineer in every mic!
Phantoms come in the following configurations:
PMR-GP1-12
For gooseneck & podium mics; 12” IR sensor cable*
PMR-GP1-18
For gooseneck & podium mics; 18” IR sensor cable*
PMR-HH1
For handheld mics; built-in IR sensor
*custom sensor cable lengths available
The Phantom Mic Rider works with 12 to 48V phantom power sources that conform to industry standards (DIN standard 45 596 or IEC standard 268-15A). Devices that do not conform can often be easily modified to meet the standard.

The Phantom Mic Rider operating guide includes a list of common podium mics, their sensitivity specifications, and the corresponding Phantom sensitivity level setting. The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how much voltage it generates when it is subjected to a calibrated sound pressure level. The Phantom works best when its sensitivity level is set to match the sensitivity of the mic. The operating guide shows how to set the sensitivity of the Phantom to match your microphone. Check the microphone manufacturer’s web site for the most current sensitivity specifications for your microphone.
Note: Some manufacturers define the sensitivity in mV and some in dB. Follow the link below to convert between the two units.
