This simple device mounts near the base of your mic arm. You plug the mic arm cable into the top and there are pass-through connectors on the bottom. It replaces the XLR connector usually mounted at the base of the mic arm. But that red button on the top is a mute "cough" button. Point it out to your studio guests. Let them mute themselves when needed. Your show will sound so much better.

The Mic Drop Gizmo works with both dynamic and condenser microphones. It plugs in between your mic and your preamp. You dont need to change anything on either end. If your preamp is providing phantom power, it will pass right through. The muting is silent. You can even reverse the action of the button. Perhaps you have an application in which youd like the microphone to be silent unless the button is pressed. Move a jumper on the circuit board and voila, you have a push to talk function.
