    We have several Audio-technica units that are mounted in our lecterns. They are silent switches for the microphone (condensers) and have an LED to show when the mic is live. I believe these are still available from AT. KEN

    DMX over cat5e

    When making up cables in common formats it is really beneficial to use a cable tester. Behringer makes one that is very intuitive to use and is reasonably priced.
