The Proco Power Mute is an active muting switch, with a status indicator. The unit may be used in momentary-switch mode or in latching-switch mode, selectable with switches found inside the battery cover. When the LED light is green, the microphone is always On, and is always Off when the LED is red.

Pros: I like that that switch is battery operated and the 9v adapter comes with it too. Ruggedly built. I use it with a headset mic and the on off light lets me know when the mic is on. Cons: The foot switch is stiff and loud when you step on it. It seemed expensive for the simplicity of the switch itself. paid a premium for the on off light.
I bought several other foot switches for muting from various places and all made a pop or popping noise when pressed. This was obviously unacceptable when our recordings would have a click any time the mute was pressed. These switches aren't cheap and that's exactly why I bought 3 of them. There's very solidly built and they work flawlessly with no sound in the line when pressing the mute button. I'm guessing the fact that the previous switches I bought were non-powered had something to do with the noise. These foot switches are powered and silent. Exactly what we needed.
