The HotShot ABi is a balanced signal source selector that allows the user to instantly select between 2 signal sources by depressing a latching footswitch. As it is completely passive, powering is not required to make it work.

The HotShot ABi is ideal for applications such as switching between 2 dynamic microphones on a stage or selecting between 2 audio sources. The latching switch also opens the door for other useful operations: These include using the HotShot ABi as a mute to turn off a microphone; to select between 2 wireless receivers for live sound system backup; for stereo guitars it can be used to select between 2 instruments; and for community hall assemblies, it provides the moderator with remote control over 2 audience microphones.

Ultra-compact and extremely rugged, the HotShot is made tough for years of trouble free performance and is backed-up with a 3-year transferable warranty.
