To help make virtual meetings more fluid and eliminate distractions, Shure is introducing its Microflex A400MB mute button accessory to bring audio mute functionality to the Microflex MX395-LED low-profile boundary microphones and MX405, MX410, and MX415 modular gooseneck microphones.
As organizations around the world continue to rely on virtual meetings, this new accessory form Shure provides greater audio control to avoid meeting disruption.
The accessory is installed like a washer between the microphone body and the table or lectern surface to hide the cables and circuits. The mute function is easily programmed with onboard switches for complete flexibility, and it can be configured as a push-to-talk or push-to-mute tool or toggled on and off.
The mute button also includes local mode and remote mode to accommodate users in different settings.

“With the rapid adoption of collaboration technologies in a wide variety of environments, the A400MB adds convenient, cost-effective local and remote mute functionality without the hassle,” Doug Daube, Category Director, Microphone Systems at Shure, said in a statement.
According to Shure, the A400MB Mute Button can be easily customized to address a variety of room types and configurations. If A400MB mute buttons are installed with multiple microphones on a table, pushing any mute button can simultaneously mute all the mics, and all microphone LEDs can also change color to show that the outgoing audio has been muted.
When the mute button is used with the ANI4IN-BLOCK or ANI22-BLOCK audio network interfaces and the IntelliMix® P300 audio conferencing processor, the mute and LED behavior is synchronized to simultaneously mute them with Microsoft Teams and Zoom videoconferencing platforms. That makes the user’s mute status visible to all meeting participants – whether in the room or remote.
According to Shure, the A400MB Mute Button can be included with new projects or added to existing installations.
