Shure WA662-TA Mute Switch for Two Bodypack Transmitters (TAA-Compliant)

Product Overview

The Shure WA662-TA is an in-line bodypack mute switch that allows a performer or presenter to simultaneously mute two Shure wireless bodypack transmitters with a TA4F connector using a single switch. This TAA-compliant accessory is suited to dual-mic configurations in broadcast, government AV, commercial meeting spaces, and live event environments where two presenters or talent share a single muting control. It connects via TA4F (MTQG) connectors to both bodypack transmitters and provides immediate, synchronized audio cutoff across both channels.

Product Description

The WA662 addresses the operational need in dual-presenter or redundant microphone configurations where both channels must be muted simultaneously — such as congressional hearing rooms, broadcast news anchor desks, sports commentary booths, or executive boardroom deployments. By connecting a single switch to two bodypack transmitters, it eliminates the need for presenters to individually mute each transmitter, reducing the risk of one channel remaining live unintentionally. The in-line placement — between the lavalier or headset microphone elements and the bodypack transmitters — keeps the switch accessible at a convenient point in the cable run without modifying the transmitters themselves. For single-bodypack mute switch applications, see also the Shure WA661-TA.

Key Features

• Simultaneous Dual-Bodypack Muting — A single switch action mutes both connected bodypack transmitters at the same time, ensuring synchronized audio cutoff across dual-mic configurations.
• TA4F (MTQG) Connector Compatibility — Connects to two Shure bodypack transmitters via TA4F connectors, compatible with QLX-D, ULX-D, and Axient Digital bodypack systems.
• In-Line Installation — Installs in the microphone cable between lavalier or headset microphone elements and the bodypack transmitters, keeping the switch accessible without reaching the transmitters.
• Reduces Operational Error in Dual-Presenter Setups — Eliminates the risk of one transmitter remaining live when only one of two mutes is engaged, which is critical in live broadcast, government, and formal presentation environments.
• TAA-Compliant — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for federal, state, and local government procurement programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Shure wireless systems are compatible with the WA662-TA?
The WA662 works with Shure bodypack transmitters using the TA4F (MTQG) connector, including QLX-D (QLXD1), ULX-D (ULXD1), and Axient Digital (ADX1) bodypack systems.

How does the WA662 differ from the WA661?
The WA662 simultaneously mutes two bodypack transmitters with a single switch action. The WA661 controls only one bodypack transmitter. The WA662 is the appropriate choice for dual-presenter setups, redundant microphone configurations, or any scenario where two bodypacks must be muted in sync.

Can the WA662 be used with lavalier and headset microphones?
Yes. It installs in-line between any compatible TA4F lavalier or headset microphone element and the bodypack transmitter.

Is the WA662-TA eligible for government procurement?
Yes. The TAA-compliant designation qualifies it for federal, state, and local government procurement programs, including congressional, military, and institutional AV deployments.
