Quick, Easy Microphone Mute Switch!
The Short Stop represents a name change for the original Pro Co Cough Drop, a passive momentary microphone-muting switch.To operate, the user's microphone cable is plugged into the Short Stop and the Short Stop is plugged into the sound system. If the entertainer has to cough or clear his/her throat, they simply step on the Short Stop's momentary switch. Pressing and holding down the switch mutes the microphone's signal to the sound system for as long as necessary, preventing embarrassing sounds from reaching the audience. Releasing the footswitch (which can be used equally well as a hand-operated unit) allows the entertainer to resume normal communication with the audience. The Short Stop belongs in every engineer's gear bag!
