Q: 6. Does the switch pop when switching output in live PA situation?

A: Hi Kevin. There will in all likelihood be an audible click or pop from the switch itself when depressed. However, as a passive device, whether that noise would bleed into the signal would depend on what is connected, according to our engineers, and there is no way to really tell what noise would come through the signal beforehand. I hope this is helpful. Thank you!
