Rolls MS111 Mic Switch – Latching or Momentary Microphone Mute Switch

I bought the Rolls MS111 Mic Switch years ago and used it for a while and liked it. FYI, devices like these are also commonly known as “cough buttons.”

It works very well, but be aware that it doesn’t mute the signal 100% – it reduces the signal around 40-50 dB, so even with the switch engaged if you speak loudly into the mic a tiny bit of your voice will come through.

Have you ever used a cough button?
