Take control of your microphone with the Kopul MuteMate-85, a momentary mute/talk button compatible with both condenser and dynamic mics. Perfect for online meetings, podcasts, or live events, it can be set to function as a temporary mute button, which you can press and hold to attenuate the mic level by 85 dB—preventing coughs or side conversations to be heard by the audience. Alternatively, it can be set as a temporary talk button, activating the microphone while you keep the button pressed. In both modes, an indicator LED lights up when the unit is active.

The MuteMate-85 features 3-pin XLR connectors for mic input and output to a recorder, sound system, or audio interface. Its rugged, all-steel construction makes it suitable for use as a desktop accessory or a foot switch. Mounting holes allow for permanent installation on podiums, walls, or workstations.

• The MuteMate ensures silent muting and unmuting no matter what kind of mic you use, whether it's a condenser or a dynamic microphone.
• The unit automatically senses phantom power and passes it through for your condenser microphone.
• You can also connect a dynamic microphone too, without changing settings.

• The mute/talk button is big and red, making it almost impossible to miss and easy to press.

• In press-to-talk mode, your voice is heard only when you need to speak. Otherwise, your mic stays muted to prevent ambient noise or other conversations from disrupting your conference or recording session.

• In situations when you need to mute your mic for a quick side conversation, to cough, or clear your throat, the Press-to-Mute mode enables you to momentarily attenuate the level of your mic by 85 dB, so you can cut out things you'd prefer to go unheard.

• When using a low-gain dynamic or ribbon microphone, the MuteMate works great with inline signal boosters, like the Cloudlifter mic activator or inline mic preamplifiers, like the Polsen Inline Single-Channel Mic Preamp.

• The MuteMate attenuates your microphone signal by 85 dB, ensuring that your microphone will be entirely muted when the unit is activated.

The status-indicator light is conveniently placed right next to the push button, making it easy to see whether the mic is on or muted.

• The MuteMate is built for repeated use and travel. The all-metal construction is designed to stand up to bumps and dings whether it's in a gear case or in your pocket. It also enables you to use the unit as a foot switch.

• The MuteMate is equipped with nonslip rubber feet, ensuring that it stays put, even on a polished desk or floor. The housing also features mounting holes for permanent installation on a podium, desktop, or workstation.
