Works well, but silent only with dynamic microphones!
My setup: 2 microphones - a JTS NX-8 (dynamic), NX-8.8 (condenser) and a Yamaha StagePas 400 powered mixer to plug them in. Cheap and good mics by the way.
With the dynamic mic it works wonderfully. It sometimes, not always makes a tiny, very soft pop when switching on, but it's not a problem. It is also possible to unplug and re-plug the microphone, when the switch is off, no noise is heard. Phantom power doesn't make a difference in this case.
With the condenser mic and, obviously, phantom power, it's another story. Switching on and off generates pops, not horrible, but still very well heard. But NEVER connect or disconnect the mic without muting the mic channel first! Even when the switch was off and volume was at a reasonable level, I was worried about blowing my speakers with those pops. Gladly everything still works. Maybe it depends on the mixer too, but better safe than sorry.
Also the plug is quite long, about twice as long as normal XLR plugs. This isn't an issue for me, but may be for some applications.
Quality seems good - it's a Neutrik after all.

Very good with great utility
It's a Neutrik product, top quality.
It's very useful to switch off a mike that has no builtin on/off switch.

Great to give musicians their own mute switch
This connector might seem expensive but it's MUCH cheaper than any of the footswitch mic mute options available on the market. I accept that a foot switch is more convenient, but this works fine as long as the user has a free hand.

Neutrik Neat
Trust Neutrik to make such a useful connector. Cheap microphones have On/Off switches. Expensive mics don't, so they are always live on stage. This allows your expensive mic to be turned off when it is not needed.

Get control over your microphone.
Do you have all the gear, but your mic come without on and of switch?
This will give you control on stage.
Simple to install. easy to use.
(Dynamic mics only!)

VERY USEFUL SWITCH FOR SM58 ETC..
These plug mounted switches are excellent for vocalist (for example) who use something like an SM58 and need to switch it off between songs... or whatever! It works cleverly by shorting out the 'hot' and 'cold' feeds and therefore doesn't affect the signal path... i.e there isn't actually a 'switch' in line. It has to be said that I ordered 2 and one was faulty. I'm sure that this was an abberation and good 'ole Thomanns put a replacement in the post straight away. I've always liked Neutrick products.... this is a goody!!
