- Page 5 OVERVIEW The HotShot 48V is a condenser microphone switcher built for silent operation on stage, allowing an artist to power their vocal mic and reroute it to feed the stage monitoring system for communicating with other band members or technicians at the press of a footswitch. To ensure a seamless performance, the HotShot 48V features an isolation transformer on the XLR input along with a time delay microcontroller for completely noiseless switching with no pops or clicks through the PA.

Page 6: Making Connections
Connecting a microphone Use a balanced XLR cable to connect your microphone to the input of the HotShot 48V. Any type of mic can be used, including condenser and dynamic mic’s, wireless lavalier or headset microphones. - Page 7 Providing phantom power For microphones that require phantom power to operate, simply press the 48V switch on the rear panel of the HotShot 48V. The red LED below this switch will light to indicate that good phantom power is being provided.
- Page 8 To toggle the output of your microphone between two different destinations, connect Output-B of the HotShot 48V to feed your alternate input. This output will often connect to the monitor console to be routed to the band’s stage monitors or in-ear monitoring systems. However, Output-B can also be used to feed a second channel on the FOH console, or a dedicated submixer used for band communication.
- Page 9 Latch Using the ground lift switch The LIFT switch on the rear panel of the HotShot 48V disconnects pin- 1 on both XLR outputs. This can help eliminate hum and buzz due to the occurence of ground loops within the audio system. Should you encounter any ground loop noise when the HotShot 48V is connected, simply press this switch to help alleviate the problem.
