Bazz339 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Can anyone point me in the direction of an in line mic mute switch, with LED (Balanced) or a circuit for building one please?. Small and easy to mount and readily available in the UK would be good. I am aware of the Rolls, Orchid, Audio Technica and JTS mic base offerings. I want something that can be mounted on the side of lectern or similar ideally with toggle switch rather than a foot switch or similarand not in a clunky box. I have used search but to not much avail. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I remember simple XLR in-line switches sold under Eagle & other brand names. The mute switch on a mic merely shorts the 2 legs together, so not a difficult DIY project. If you want a "muted" LED you could use a 2P2W switch to feed the LED from your phantom volts via a resistor, chosen to give a current of say 2mA.

bruce Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have used search but to not much avail. When I searched I found this thread from 6 years ago http://www.blue-room.org.uk/index.php?showtopic=50977 (Which appears to have been started by you!)

Bazz339 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Oops, wish I could remember what I came upstairs for never mind what I did six years ago. Obviously a recurring problem of mine. Sadly not found the right product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 If you drop John at Orchid a line he can probably make a custom version for you. (I have no relationship to the company except as a satisfied customer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Doesn't satisfy the LED requirement but might this help? https://cpc.farnell.com/neutrik/nc3fxs/xlr-socket-3p-noiseless/dp/AV19351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_h Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Would you consider something like an optogate? http://www.optogate.com/pb07_uk.html Considerably more expensive, and it's been several years since I used one, but from what I remember they worked quite well for lectern mic mute/umute duties. Edited to add that their PB-06 might be what you are looking for? http://www.optogate.com/pb06_uk.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
