hush and hush+ OnAir Controllers

This manual contains plenty of useful information and detailed instructions that will help you to 

get started with the control of your OnAir signaling with hush and hush+ and to operate it. Further 

info can be found at 

www.yellowtec.com/hush

. Both software and firmware for your hush device 

are under continuous development. So please check 

www.yellowtec.com/hush/downloads

 from 

time to time. There you will always find the latest versions and information. 

hush is by far the easiest way to control your OnAir signaling professionally. Its plug‘n‘play concept 

makes controlling the dual-color OnAir indicator of your m!ka Mic Arm effortlessly easy. In addition, 

hush can also be used to control the LED signal of Yellowtec‘s litt Signaling Device. 

Two versions of hush are available: hush and hush+. hush offers you extensive features for control-

ling your OnAir signaling. hush+ comes with additional control functions over your mic signal like a 

mute function. With 12dB up to 75dB pre-amplification, hush+ ensures first-class sound!

Whenever we speak of hush(+) in this manual, both models hush and hush+ are being addressed.

Safety instructions!

Notes on proper use!

Read this manual carefully before using any hush device. Always observe the following instructions 

in order to use and operate hush, hush+, and the hush Remote safely. Improper use may result in 

the loss of warranty and guarantee claims.

 

The hush OnAir Controller is developed to control the OnAir indicator of any m!ka Mic Arm OnAir. 

hush+ on top includes a microphone preamplifier. The optional hush Remote can be used as a 

control unit on both devices. The units can be powered via your computer‘s USB port or by USB 

power supplies. It must be ensured that these also comply with the conformity regulations of your 

respective country.

Safety Instructions!

•  Don‘t open hush, hush+ and the hush Remote and don‘t perform any modifications. Work on 

the devices has to be carried out by qualified, authorized persons only! 

•  Don‘t bring hush, hush+ and the hush Remote into contact with liquids. Always position hush 

and hush+ in a way that ensures heat dissipation. 

•  Use hush, hush+ and the hush Remote only with certified USB interfaces and in connection 

with certified power supplies. Audio cables must be shielded. Failure to do so may result in 

interference with other devices as well as interference with hush. This may result in damage. 

•  Make sure that the pin assignment of the XLR-5 connector on your microphone arm is 

correct – especially if you install the connector yourself.
