anyone know of a stereo master mute footswitch?

edtex · 21st May 2010

bit of an odd one this, but am urgently looking for an off the shelf solution.
trying to find a robust footswitch that is stereo in, stereo out (preferably xlr) that can mute the master line signal from a console.
it's for a live show.
am posting here, because i want something that hardly degrades the signal

am open to workarounds but essentially just need to mute the master with my foot. any suggestions?

These are mono and made for muting mic lines, but I'll bet there is a chance they could work for your application. As far as the mono aspect, they are affordable enough to where you might be able to purchase two and rig them with some sort of bar or plate to go over both buttons so you get a synchronized response.

Hope that helps,
