This review is from: Astatic 40-116 Shock Base with Microphone Active LED in Switch (Electronics)
Astatic has a series of podium microphone mute switches in the 40-11x range. Based on the descriptions that I was seeing on most people's website, I thought I was buying a base that I could toggle back and forth between muted and not. It appeared that it had a "programmable" LED light that would show me when I was on mute or not.
Unfortunately, I bought the wrong one, which only had a momentary-contact switch in it, meaning that it would only mute OR talk (that's the "programmable" part) WHEN the button was actually being held down. My 40-116 didn't have an LED light in it at all.
I knew that the vendor that I purchased mine from stated up front that this was a drop-ship item that could not be returned (and after getting a hold of them around their squirly weekend hours, they confirmed that). I tried for days to contact Astatic directly, and FINALLY go a hold of a warm body today, only to be told that they won't support it, and I'd have to buy a new one.
So I am, I'm buying an Audio-Technica...
If you buy the Astatic, make sure you know EXACTLY what you're buying.
