Instantly Mute Your Mic!

Part of what makes live performances so exciting is that you never know what's going to happen. This is doubly true if you're the performer. Be prepared to shut your mic off in an instant when you're plugged into the Power Mute from Pro Co. Whenever anything goes wrong, Power Mute lets you shut your mic off, keeping coughs, conversations, and even feedback from going out over the PA. The Power Mute can be used as either a momentary (press to mute or press to talk) or a latching (mic on/mic off) muting switch, giving you a ton of onstage flexibility.

Pro Co Power Mute Mic Muter Features at a Glance:

Switch between momentary (press to mute or press to talk) or latching (mic on/mic off) operation
Status light
Power supply included

Don't take the stage without your Power Mute from Pro Co!

I am a part-time singing drummer that needed a way to shut off my headset mic when not singing. I've placed this ProCo Power Mute to the left of my hi-hat pedal, within easy reach. The indicator light is really nice - one glance and I know if I'm live or not. I did have a little issue with setting the dip switches for the ay I wanted it . . . the diagram that came with the switch didn't quite match what I found inside. With a couple minutes of trying different settings - it works just fine.

Pretty expensive for what it does. But it works well.
One note: it comes with a 9 volt power supply, but for some reason its polarity is reversed from typical supplies for effects boxes. If you want to use a standard power supply you'll need an adapter that cost $. Not a big deal, but good to know so you can order them both at the same time.

Also, one good thing: it seems that the only thing being powered is the light. So if you're using battery power the battery should last a long, long time. (Make sure to flip the switch to the off position when not in use.)

It perfectly drops the dB without making a pop or glitch sound. The only issue we have is the button. It doesn't stay down. You have to hold the button down and if the talent needs to use both hands for something and mute at the same time, it's not possible.

Other than that, a great product!

I needed a mute for my DPA 4099 condenser microphone that clips onto my mandolin. So I bought this and it works really well. I originally tested it by running the microphone into the Power Mute and then into Pro Tools via Digi002 to see if there was a 'pop' due too passing phantom power. I did notice a 'pop' so I decided not to chance it live so I run the DPA 4099 into a UA Solo/610 pre (using the phantom on the mic pre before the switch) and into the Power Mute. There is no 'pop' with this configuration. When I have more time at a sound check I will see if I can run it without the preamp and pass phantom through the switch from the house board to see if there is a 'pop'. This is a well built piece of equipment other than the placement of the external power supply input. It's located right above the direct out so it's not convenient when trying to plug or unplug an XLR cable....but really it's no that big of a deal.

The pedal mutes your line but if it's running to a board that has phantom power on, it will create a very loud click every time you switch it on and off. I've tried this powered version and the passive version. They both create a very loud pop. Made for some terrible sound checks. Glad sweetwater has such good customer service and let me return for full refund with no hassle.
