Overview
Kopul’s MUTEMATE-85L is a mute/talk button that’s compatible with condenser and dynamic microphones. Inserting the switch between your microphone and your computer or mixer allows you to activate or mute your microphone as desired. And unlike having to hold down a momentary mute button, the switch keeps your mic muted until it’s pressed again. The MUTEMATE-85L features 3-pin XLR connectors for mic input and signal output to a recorder, sound system, or audio workstation. The mute setting attenuates mic output by 85 dB, so under normal gain conditions, broadcast audiences, recording talent, and online conferences won’t hear coughs or side conversations. Pressing the switch again activates the microphone for talkback in studio applications, meetings, presentations, and video chats. An indicator LED illuminates when phantom power is present.
Features
Press to Talk / Press to Mute
The MUTEMATE-85L lets you switch your microphone on or off with one press. When you’re leading a Zoom meeting or addressing a conference, you probably want a live microphone all the time. However, when you’re recording talent or in a noisy environment while you’re in an online conference, you would want to mute your microphone until you have something to say.
Silent Switching
This switch assures you of silent muting and unmuting no matter what kind of mic you use. Listeners won’t be interrupted with a pop when you change the mic’s status.
On/Off Indicator Light
The LED indicator will light when phantom power is present. It’s located right next to the button so you can easily always see your mic’s on/off status.
Dynamic and Condenser Microphones
This switch accepts signals from condenser and dynamic microphones, which makes it a great addition to your audio setup in a pro or broadcast studio, or for applications like home recording, podcasts or interviews.
Compatible with Signal Boosters
The MUTEMATE-85L adds an on/off switch when you’re using the most popular brands of low-gain dynamic and ribbon microphones. When you add an inline signal booster or an inline mic preamplifier, this switch is a great studio addition for recording and broadcast applications.
Signal Attenuation
The switch attenuates your microphone signal by 85 dB. When used in normal sensitivity and gain conditions between 30 and 60 dB, your microphone will be entirely muted when the MUTEMATE-85L is activated.
Rugged Metal Housing
The MUTEMATE-85L is made for repeated use and travel. The all-metal construction will stand up to bumps and dings whether it’s in a gear case or in your pocket. Its rugged chassis also supports being used as a foot switch.
Big Gold Button
Unlike the small talkback buttons on a console, the on/off switch is big and red, so it’s almost impossible to miss. For those times when you need to quickly swat at, or stomp on the button, you’ll be able to hit it so you can quickly add or subtract what you’re saying.
Mounting Options
Nonslip rubber feet will keep the switch from sliding, so it will stay put on a polished desk or floor. The housing also has mounting holes for more permanent installation on a podium, studio, or workstation.
