Yes! LILY P4D works with all types of microphones including dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones. It can also be used with wireless microphones. LILY P4D works with any balanced mic signal, giving you maximum flexibility for any live sound setup.

LILY P4D offers a more natural and intuitive solution for mic control. Unlike traditional microphone gates that rely on sound sensitivity or optical sensors, LILY P4D uses a pressure-sensitive pad, allowing you to activate or mute the mic by simply stepping on or off the pad. This eliminates issues like misfires from head movements, lighting interference, or unwanted sensitivity adjustments. The result is smooth, reliable muting that keeps your mix clean; giving you total control without sacrificing sound quality.
