Radial HotShot ABo

Footswitch Selector for Balanced Outputs

The HotShot ABo is a latching footswitch that will take a balanced input on stage and switch it between two different destinations, without requiring any power to operate.

• Redirect a balanced signal to two different destinations

• Toggle outputs or mute with a latching footswitch

• Selectable output pads to match signal levels

• Completely passive operation, no power required

Reroute signals on stage
The Hotshot ABo takes a balanced XLR input and provides the ability to switch the signal between two destinations using a passive footswitch on stage. This makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including driving two channels on a mixing console for dry and wet effects routing, diverting a dynamic mic from the PA system to the monitors or an intercom system, or for temporarily muting the signal when coughing. The ABo uses a latching footswitch, so it will stay on the last output selected until you hit the footswitch again.
