Call the Shots From One Mic: Seamless Onstage Communication with Radial Mic Switchers
For music directors, artists, and engineers looking for seamless, private comms during performances, Radial’s HotShot Mic Switchers are the ideal solution to help you lead, direct, and perfect your show on the fly.
Whether you’re trying to improve/streamline your performance, deal with a potential problem before it becomes problematic, or fix an issue in real time, the general rule of live performance is: ‘Never let the audience see you sweat.’
That’s where Radial’s HotShot Microphone Switchers come into play – providing fluent, instant, and easy communication when you need it and with exactly who you need to talk to. But Radial’s HotShot devices also have applications before you start working the room – for sound checks, rehearsals, and wherever and whenever fluid communication can help keep things on track.
Meet the HotShot Family
Offering a pristine signal path and ultra-high fidelity, Radial HotShot mic switchers eliminate the need for separate talkback mics on stage, providing a compact, user-friendly means of muting your vocal mic in the PA so you can have private conversations with your band, crew, or both.
HotShot DM1 Stage Mic Toggle
Momentary mute—perfect for quick, hands-on control
Completely passive, the HotShot DM-1 provides a discrete channel of communication to a single destination of your choice via a single momentary footswitch, allowing music directors, artists, or anyone with a dynamic mic to reroute mic signal to a second output – the band’s in-ears, your tech crew, or everyone simultaneously.
HotShot 48V Condenser Microphone Splitter
Ideal for condenser mics or powered systems
Powered by an external 9V power supply, the HotShot 48V provides its own source of 48V for condenser mics. Like the DM-1, it offers up a second channel for discrete communications, but with the added flexibility of a footswitch that can be configured for momentary or latching operation.
It also features an isolation transformer on the XLR input, a time delay microcontroller for noise-free switching, and an LED indicator to display which output is in use. Although intended primarily to allow users to utilize and power condenser mics, it can also be used for dynamic mics, making it a well-rounded, compact solution for onstage communication.
HotShot MD: Multi-output dynamic mic switcher
3 Channels of Onstage Communication in a single box
Created in response to customer demand for a more powerful means of onstage communication, the newest addition to Radial’s Hotshot line is a one-touch, full-contact solution designed to simplify stage communication further.
Passive, plug and play, and built specifically for dynamic microphones, the HotShot MD features two momentary switches, allowing for communication to two separate destinations or (by pressing both footswitches together), both destinations simultaneously – thereby enabling seamless transitions between singing, cueing the band, and coordinating with techs – all without disrupting the audience experience.
