Well built, sturdy, great for a foot pedal. Likely not that good for a desk top hand switch. A little stiff for that. Perfect for a foot on off switch. I use it to control my studio talk back microphone so I use my foot and keep my hands free. Thanks Whirlwind!

Can it be latched to an ON position when you need ...

Can it be latched to an ON position when you need to talk at length?
Asked by: Gordon
No. The Whirlwind Micmute PT Push-to-Talk Switch is a momentary switch that does not latch. When the switch is pressed and held down, the Micmute will allow the audio signal to pass through, then mutes the signal as soon as the switch is released. For the latching version, you will want to check out the Whirlwind Micmute PP Push-On/Push-Off Audio Switch (B&H # WHMICMUTEPP). As another option to consider, the Rolls MS111 Mic Switch Latching or Momentary Microphone Mute Switch (B&H # ROMS111) will also work as a latching switch.

Asked by: Tony
Yes. All three styles of Whirlwind MicMutes will pass phantom power for use with condenser type microphones. Thank you.

question

I'm seeing some Q&A here regarding various devices, but here is both a Q and A regarding the Whirlwind Micmute PTD:Does this device pass phantom power, even when muted, so that condenser mics may be used?
Asked by: Paul
Phantom will pass as the mute position shorts pins 2 and 3, but the unit is likely to pop when used with phantom. For truly silent switching , use the MicMute PX.
