kopul MUTEMATE-85 Microphone Mute Talk Switch
Thank you for choosing Kopul.
Kopul’s MUTEMATE-85 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.

Operating the MUTEMATE-85
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-85.
Once all connections have been made, activate phantom power on your external
preamp.
The MUTEMATE-85 is designed to attenuate a microphone signal by approximately 85 dB. It works best when used under a normal sensitivity and gain structure between 30 and 60 dB.
Note: When switching from a condenser to the dynamic microphone, or vice versa, 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 the button is activated.
Replacing the Battery
The indicator LED is powered by a 3 V CR1632 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.
- Remove the battery, place a new one into the battery slot, and slide it into place.
- Replace the chassis, and attach it with the four screws.
