[0039] It should be noted that the power supply interface is used for electronic components such as the indicator light on the external microphone.

[0040] The principle of this circuit is explained below:

[0041] For example, when the microphone is temporarily unavailable, you can press the mechanical switch or touchpad to cause the main control port external chip to generate a high voltage, turning on transistor Q4. The voltage divider then turns on transistors Q15 and Q6, short-circuiting the signals between the first and second microphone interfaces, thus eliminating the need for sound. Because the signal is short-circuited, current is still output to the power module, turning on electronic components such as the indicator light on the microphone.
