Description

Radial HotShot 48V Condenser Microphone Switcher: Seamless Control and Audio Routing Passive audio switchers occasionally create an audible pop during switching that can be heard through the PA system, disrupting the performance. This can be caused by the introduction of phantom power or by stray DC offset from any powered device connected to the switcher. The HotShot 48V employs active circuitry and a time delay microcontroller for silent switching under any conditions, allowing you to use condenser or dynamic microphones with no noise whatsoever. A five millisecond delay is introduced when the switching relay is activated, short enough to go unnoticed by the artist, but long enough for any DC leakage to dissipate, preventing audible noise and ensuring seamless switching during any performance. Features The Radial HotShot 48V Condenser Microphone Switcher is equipped with a range of features that simplify your workflow and enhance your control over condenser microphones. Here are some key features of this switcher: Switchable condenser microphone control: The HotShot 48V allows you to switch between two condenser microphones with ease, eliminating the need for manual cable swapping or complex routing setups. Momentary or latching operation: You can choose between momentary or latching footswitch operation, depending on your preference and application. Remote control options: The switcher is compatible with Radial footswitches, MIDI controllers, and other external switching devices, enabling remote control capabilities. Mute function: The mute function allows you to silence the microphone when switching, preventing unwanted audio artifacts and ensuring a clean transition. 48V phantom power routing: The HotShot 48V ensures continuous 48V phantom power supply to your condenser microphones, maintaining optimal performance and preventing audio dropouts during switching. LED status indicators: Clear LED indicators provide visual feedback, allowing you to monitor the status of the switcher at a glance. Passive design: The switcher operates passively, meaning it does not require any external power source or batteries, ensuring reliable and hassle-free operation.
