kopul MUTEMATE-2X2 Momentary Microphone Mute or Talk Switch User Manual
Thank you for choosing Kopul
Kopul’s MUTEMATE 2X2 for dynamic and condenser microphones functions as a momentary mute button so an audience, recording talent, or online conferees won’t hear coughs or side conversations.
With the flip of a switch, it becomes a momentary talk button that activates the microphone while the button is pressed.
The MuteMate features 3-pin XLR connectors for mic input and signal output to a recorder, sound system, or audio workstation. Nonslip rubber feet make the MuteMate a handy desktop accessory or foot switch. Mounting holes can be used for more permanent installation on podiums, walls, or workstations.

Overview
Operating the MUTEMATE-2X2
Switching from a Condenser to a Dynamic Microphone:
-
Move the selector from Condenser to Dynamic.
-
Then press and hold the mute button for 30 seconds before resuming operation.
This will dissipate the stored phantom power and prevent noise like popping
when activating the button.
Using a Signal Booster for Low-Output Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones:
When using a mic activator, like the Cloudlifter, or an inline mic preamplifier like the Polsen Single-Channel Mic Preamp:
Connect the microphone to the signal booster. Then connect the signal booster
to the MUTEMATE-2X2.
Important! Make sure the MUTEMATE-2X2’s selector switch is set to
Condenser mode when using it with a signal booster connected to a dynamic or
ribbon microphone.
Replacing the Battery
The indicator LED is powered by a 3 V CR 1220 lithium battery. When the battery runs low, the indicator light does not turn on when the button is pressed.
Replace the battery following these steps:
-
Unscrew the four side screws and remove the chassis
. -
Pull back the tension bar with your finger, and the battery will pop up.

Remove the battery, place a new CR 1220 3V lithium battery into the battery slot, and press it down until it clicks into place. Unscrew the four side screws and remove the chassis.
