I belive Shure makes one. You may want to call Leo's Audio in Berkeley (652-1553). If level control is not an issue, one trick I remember Dan Healy told me, was to use pressure sensitive mats (the kind you would find just inside of doorways in stores to announce your presents) and route audio (or have the mats control relays) to turn on an off the audio to the mixer. You would place one behind the leturn and when the speaker steps up, their mic would turn on. Cute, huh? Other mics could have switches built in... -- Tim Pozar Try also...
