The Radial HotShot MD gives music directors and artists easy and discreet control over their microphone outputs to enable seamless transitions between singing, cueing the band, and coordinating with techs and engineers—all without disrupting the audience experience. Engineered with Radial’s signature road-ready construction and noise-free switching, the HotShot MD streamlines communication, boosts efficiency, and enables bandleaders to focus on delivering flawless performances.

A noise-free solution for momentarily rerouting a dynamic microphone on stage, the HostShot MD allows signal to pass through Output-A when no footswitches are depressed, so your vocal mic feeds the PA system normally. If either the B or C footswitches are engaged singly, Output-A will be muted, and signal will be diverted to Output-B or Output-C, depending on which footswitch is depressed. This allows you to instantly reroute your mic to speak with band members or technicians as needed without the audience hearing a thing. Both footswitches can also be engaged simultaneously, so you can communicate with all parties at once. The moment you release either footswitch, your vocal mic automatically redirects back to the PA system so the performance can continue.
