First I apologize, these may sound like some dumb questions but any help would be appreciated!!
I have a stereo 3.5mm microphone that I need to make a hardware switch to turn it on and off (or mute it). My initial thought is to just splice a 3.5mm extension cable and attach a rocker switch to it.
I guess my first question is if this would work as simple as that or it need some type of filtering circuit to cut down on "pop" noise from the switch?
Also, I would like to have a switch with an LED so I know when its on and not on quickly/easily and I do have some switches with LEDs built-in. Would this be possible to use with a 9v battery (and probably a resistor)?
And lastly, since it is stereo, how would I connect it to the switch? Assuming it has three connections, would I bypass the switch with the "shield" and attach "tip" and "ring" to the switch?
I greatly appreciate your time and help with this!
