The Korena take

A pedalboard A/B box that switches one microphone between two destinations. For performers who need to redirect a mic signal mid-show.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Switching a mic between front-of-house and a separate recording feed
  • Handing one mic between two mixers or preamps
  • Killing a mic path onstage without touching the board

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting tone shaping — it routes signal, nothing more
  • Guitar-only rigs with no microphone in the chain
  • Shoppers on a tight budget who only need a basic mic splitter

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Mic A/B switching

Sends one mic to one of two outputs at a time. It selects a path, it does not feed both at once.

Detail 02

Panic function

A single stomp to redirect or cut the mic path, meant for fixing a routing problem live without stopping.

Detail 03

Pedal-format box

Foot-operated and floor-mounted, so the switch happens hands-free while you keep playing or singing.

Detail 04

Mic-level signal path

Built for microphones, not instrument or line level. Feeding it a hot line signal is not what it is designed for.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Mic cables are not included — you need at least three XLR runs
  2. 02Confirm your two destinations accept a mic-level input
  3. 03Takes up pedalboard real estate roughly the size of a standard pedal

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I send the mic to both outputs at the same time?

No. An A/B box selects one path at a time. If you need simultaneous feeds, you want a mic splitter instead.

02Does it change the sound of my microphone?

It is a routing box, not a processor. Its job is to move the signal between two destinations, not to shape tone.

03Will it work with a condenser mic needing phantom power?

Phantom power behavior varies by routing box and by which destination is selected. Check the manual before relying on it with a condenser.

04Can I use this to switch two mics into one mixer input?

That is the reverse of A/B routing. This box is built around one input feeding a choice of two outputs.
