Pro Co Sound CDPB Overview

The Pro Co Panic Button is a foot-operated pedal that allows a singer or speaker to reroute the microphone signal from Output A to Output B. It may also be set to operate as a momentary push-to-talk, momentary push-to-mute, or latching microphone muting switch. The Panic Button is ideally suited for praise ministers, speakers, and professional instrumentalists who need to communicate with their roadies (especially singing drummers and guitarists).

To change the routing of the microphone signal in the A/B operating mode, the user simply depresses and actuates the switch; the status indicator light displays the condition of the microphone signal regardless of the selected mode of operation. When the light shows green, it indicates that the microphone is "on" or routed to Output A. Red indicates that the microphone is muted or "off", or that the signal is routed to Output B. The switching between channels is noiseless, and it is compatible with phantom-powered condenser mics. The Panic Button ships with a power adapter.

To change the routing of the microphone signal in the A/B operating mode, the user simply depresses and actuates the switch. The microphone signal path can be routed between Output A (front of house) and Output B (stage monitors or personal roadie). If the input signal is from a condenser microphone that is phantom powered from the FOH mixer, the phantom continues to power the mic as it is routed to Output B. There is no "pop" switching between channels. A gain pot is located in the battery compartment that controls the level of Output B. If the battery in the Panic Button dies, the circuit automatically reverts to Channel A.
Dip switches, located in the battery compartment, are used to select the desired Panic Button modes of operation from A/B switch to muting switch, momentary push-to-talk, or momentary push-to-mute to latching. To change the route or condition of the microphone signal, the user simply depresses and actuates the switch.
In momentary mode, the condition will change when the switch is pressed and will revert to its original condition once the switch has been released. In latching mode, the signal condition will change when the switch is pressed and actuated; it will remain in that condition until the switch is depressed and actuated again. The switch on the Panic Button may either be actuated by hand, or the unit may be used as a footswitch.
The status indicator light displays the condition of the microphone signal regardless of the selected mode of operation. When the light shows green, it indicates that the microphone is "on" or routed to Output A. Red indicates that the microphone is muted or "off" or that the signal is routed to Output B. Connections between the Power Mute and the microphone or signal source and to the sound system are made with standard microphone cables.
A female XLR-type connector is provided for Mic Input and Male XLR-type connectors are provided for Outputs A and B. A mini toggle ON/OFF switch is provided and the unit features a tool-free access battery compartment. The Panic Button may be operated with a 9V battery or with the 9V AC power supply provided.

good device but with slight click

The program-ability is great so I use one for a cough button and another for a Cut-In to broadcast button for staff. Very solid. However there is in face a very slight click on air when they are used.

Works Great

Used it for the first time this w/e and it works great. I was leading a band and we had 25 songs to play. Rehearsal had gone really well but set it up as a safety net. The band All had in ear monitors so it was set up as a communication device. Only needed it a few times but it helped guide the band in a couple spots. Definitely recommended.
