The electronic touch switch can be set to three operating modes—touch‑on/touch‑off, touch‑to‑talk, and touch‑to‑mute—and can be used in local, remote, or LED‑remote control positions.
The microphone can be powered from 11 V to 52 V DC phantom power, drawing about 3 mA typical.
In remote mode the audio output stays on continuously while the touch switch controls only the LED and external contact closure.
