CONVENIENT IN-HAND MICROPHONE ON/OFF CONTROL
Do you wish you had on/off audio control on your favorite mic? Need to kill audio quickly without running to the soundboard or calling for the sound guy? Add an on/off button to any mic or line signal XLR input with the new Sescom SES-IL-LPTT microphone switch. This passive XLR connector switch needs no power supply and easily plugs directly into the end of your microphone without adding more cables and weight. The output end plugs directly into your mic cable.
The lightweight switch features a readily identifiable red button that, when pressed, turns on communication and allows signal to pass, and, when pressed again, mutes the signal entirely. The button securely latches after each press to ensure reliable operation during live performances.
