All,
I am sure this has been invented or discussed before but I cannot find it. Does anyone know of a pressure sensitive mat that can be placed on the floor at a podium that would unmute and mute a microphone lets say for a HOW or similar? We have a customer that wants this functionality and I just don't have a solution in my back pocket where I usually find things like that.
Ideas? Thoughts?

This was talked about extensively over on the Syn-Aud-Con forum a month or two back. I didn't follow it closely because I don't have a similar use case, but there were a lot of different ways to skin the cat if I remember. You do have a be a member to view that forum though. $30 buys you a year.

I don't know about switch mats but there is a device available that uses a proximity detector to sense when someone is close to the mic and inserts on the XLR line.
Here is an example...

Most pressure mats I believe are essentially a contact closure device. If it goes into a DSP, it's pretty simple with a bit of logic (contact wire close mutes the mic input). If going into a console rather than a DSP, talk with RDL, or look into the Radial Relay XO and floor mat.
