The Micmute PX from Whirlwind is an active, completely silent, microphone muting box. The circuitry allows the user to temporarily mute the mic signal with no audible artifacts, even when the console channel is set at high gains. In addition, the Micmute PX can be configured to operate in any of the switching modes: PT (Push to Talk), PM (Push to Mute), or PP (Latching Push On; Push Off) and will pass phantom power for use with condenser type microphones. This provides a one box solution for any microphone muting application by simply moving the internal jumper to set the desired function. A wall power supply is included.

Can it be latched to an ON position when you need to talk at length?
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.

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?
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.
