Mic and Monitor Mute - Lights On

[Paulo Mendes]

Hi
i'm looking for a switch to mute a condenser mic and monitors, and that also light up the "on air" ligh...
Do you know anything like that, cheap and that works?


Thanks

These systems are normally built into a broadcast mixer with a micro-switch being part of the mic fader.
If you aren't fussy, you could theoratically glue a microswitch on the surface of your mixer so as the fader slides up the button is released and triggers some electronics to turn on the light and cut audio going to your speakers.
But you do risk an electronic click appearing in your audio output.
