The Kopul MuteMate 2x2 Microphone Mute/Talk Switch 4-Packis a momentary microphone mute/talk switch that's compatible with both condenser and dynamic mics. Connect the MuteMate to your mixing board, audio interface, computer, or sound system and go right to work without an external power source thanks to its passive design. The switch can be set to function as a temporary mute button, which you can press and hold to attenuate the mic level by 60 dB, preventing coughs or side conversations to be heard by the audience. You can also set the switch to function as a temporary talk button, which activates the microphone while you keep the button pressed. Talk mode also lets you use the MuteMate 2x2 as a talkback button in recording studios, so producers and engineers can easily communicate with performers.

In both operating modes, an indicator LED illuminates when the MuteMate is active. The MuteMate features 3-pin XLR connectors for mic input and signal output to a recorder, sound system, or audio workstation. With a rugged, all-steel construction, the unit can be used as a handy desktop accessory or as a foot switch.

The Condenser/Dynamic switch ensures silent muting and unmuting no matter what kind of mic you use. Select Condenser to pass-through phantom power for your condenser microphone. Switching to Dynamic lets you use the MuteMate with a dynamic microphone.

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. You can also use press-to-talk mode so the MuteMate 2x2 functions as a talkback button in recording studio applications.

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 60 dB, so you can cut out things you'd prefer to go unheard.

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 made 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 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 more permanent installation on a podium, desktop, or workstation.

Q: 1. Does the earpiece have latex ?

Q: 2. When using a microphone with phantom power, does pop noise occur (when pressing or release the button)?

A: The Kopul MuteMate 2x2 Momentary Microphone Mute/Talk Switch should not present a "pop" sound when used with a condenser microphone and phantom power.

Q: 3. Will this work with other brand walkies that have a 2-pin port (K1 type connector) with a 3.5mm and 2.5mm pin?

A: The Motorola HKLN4604 Swivel Earpiece with In-Line Microphone & Push-to-Talk is designed specifically for use with Motorola DTR Series, CLS Series, RDX Series, RM Series, and DLR Series two-way radios. We are not able to confirm compatibility with any other radios, but it is possible that it might work with another radio from a different manufacturer that uses an identical wiring configuration, not just the same size connectors.

Q: 4. Do you have to hold the switch to talk or does it actually turn on and hold the mic in the on positon and then press again to turn off the mic?

A: That depends on how you set the switch to function. The Rolls MM11 Pro is a momentary (non-latching) switch, so you do need to hold the switch to use it, but you can decide whether you want it to function as a momentary mute or a momentary push-to-talk switch. An internal switch (accessible from the side) allows you to select "push to mute" or "push to talk." If you want a switch that you press once for "on" and press again for "off," then you need a latching switch. The Rolls MS111 Mic Switch (B&H # ROMS111) can be set to function as a latching on/off switch or as a momentary microphone mute switch, so you have the option of using it either way.

Q: 10. Can you interchange the microphone capsule from a Sennheiser ew 100 G3 microphone to this one?

A: Hi Louis - the microphone capsules for Evolution Wireless G3 and G4 are interchangeable and 100% compatible with each other. While EW G2 and EW G1 used a capsule system that was based on a cartridge design, the capsules for G3 and G4 are quickly & easily swapped by unscrewing them from the transmitter where the body meets the metal mesh of the microphone grille.
