HosaXLRF-XLRM W Switch

It's light, very light. The materials and manufacture quality are in line with what you would expect from a low budget item Made in China.That said it works well enough on all the dynamic microphones and associated XLR leads I've tried it on. Completely noiseless and so far reliable.Do not try and use this with Condenser (or phantom powered) Microphones!!I use it with my head mounted mic which doesn't have an isolation switch (I play keyboards in my current band) and so having a means to switch off the mic is invaluable during a gig, ....'cough, cough'. Yep, that can be disastrous during a song, not to mention embarrassing.

Works fine, no additional buzz or hum on the line. Very happy

I bought this mic mute so my desktop mic wouldn't capture audio when I'm not using it. The device functions well, and mutes the mic without any kind of characteristic 'mic mute pop' that some devices have. It's quite a bit larger than I thought it would be -- about the length of the long side of a credit card so it might be worth getting a short .5m XLR patch cable to connect it more neatly. One of the little female pins looked worryingly close to coming out after a few insertions, but so far nothing's gone wrong.

Being a drummer use a headset mike ... gave the ability to switch it on and off at will with minimum disruption

The switch works. You can connect two mic cables together and be able to switch the signal on and off. I bought it to use with a Shure wired headset mic, which doesn’t have a mute. It seemed to work OK in rehearsals and for the first gig but 2nd gig up at a festival the sound man said it was creating interference and had to mute me. Fortunately I was only singing backing vocals but couldn’t work out why my voice was not coming back through the monitor lol! Cue lots of frantic signalling between me and the sound man. Anyway I haven’t had a chance to try it out since, as I have gone back to a mic on a stand, which doesn’t have the same muting requirement as a headset mic. Of course, if you are using it under different circumstances, there may not be the same interference issue. It may have been caused by flexing at the connectors as I moved around. Anyway for the money, it’s probably worth a punt.

Dynamic Vocal Microphone has no on/off power switch so Hosa GMS-274 Microphone Power Switch is the best solution so you do not need to switch of your amplifire or to remove microphone cable partecularly when you want to avoide sounds conflict

Works well. Being used to provide a switch on lectern mike at our church. No noise when being turned on or off.

Cheaply made, cheap quality, it's not a silent switch as I get a pop when turned off and on through the pa speakers. Not worth the money
