Whirlwind's Micmute PMD desktop mute switch is configured as a push to mute switch, meaning that the input signal is normally on, passing through the box. When the switch is depressed and held down, the signal is turned off or muted. The signal is reconnected as soon as the switch is released. Inputs are mic/line level.
The Whirlwind Micmute boxes offer passive switching solutions for controlling the on and off conditions of a microphone or balanced line signal via footswitch or finger switch operation. There are three styles, which cover all the essential mic control functions. Each style of Micmute is available with two types of actuator; a heavy duty footswitch (models PT, PM, PP) and a finger operated version for desktop use (models PTD, PMD, PPD). Each box has a female XLR input and a male XLR output jack. When no signal is passing through the boxes, the output jack is configured to mute the input of the connected audio device.
Excellent for dynamic mics. When using condenser mics with phantom power, a “pop” may occur during muting due to the added line voltage.

The Whirlwind MicMute PMD has exactly one job to do - mute a microphone. And it fails miserably at it. Every time you push the mute button, it puts a 0 dB pop into the audio. EVERY time. Why? Because the internal electronics are cheaply engineered for mics that don't require phantom power, which every condenser mic requires. This was not noted in the Full Compass description, nor on the Whirlwind website. I returned the product.
