Tarqs Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hi all I am after a 1U audio selector switching unit. Basically I am installing a small system into a pub and it is to have 2 uses. Firstly there is a small Yami 8 channel powered mixer going in for use by local acts (duo’s etc). Then the same system is to be used by the bar staff to playback CD, VHS/ DVD and sometimes poke the sound though from a TV tuner for watching sporting events. We have to take it that the visiting acts will cope with the powered mixer and will have a bit of savvy to use the kit. However for the CD / DVD etc playback the thought of some bar staff fiddling about with gains end EQ on each channel is a non starter. Therefore I intend to use the stereo input via a selector switcher so that they can just select the desired input (CD/ DVD etc) and away they go. To date I have only found some desk top switcher units (real cheapo kit), and I would like a 1U unit that can be mounted in the rack so that no idiot can mess around with the connections – plus it makes things nice and neat. Any suggestions or am I into building something ? Tarq's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Russell Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Depending on budget how about using a Soundweb Recently there have been a few ex-demo ones for sale on ebay at fairly reasonable prices. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosxuk Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I'd recommend a Soundweb 9026 Matrix switch. There are connectors on the back which you can wire up to a pot for adjusting volume and to a resistor array for switching sources. We use one for our 'building' sources (cd / jukebox / video / tv / etc) while still allowing the bar staff to control the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternewman Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 What about something from Kramer they do lots of simple row of buttons with mechanical routing, maybe get a video and audio one if they don't do a basic audio one and just don't use the video, or use it too for a combined all in one approach.

Pete McCrea Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 D'oh. Just pipped to the post. Kramer certainly do some devices that might do the job. Something like:4x4A for a very basic model.VS-55A For a rack mountable switchVS-4x for a stereo XLR switcher I'm sure Extron do simillar products too, but I can't find them on the website, and I don't have a copy of the catalogue/Bible at home... Feel free to drop me a PM if you want an idea on pricing for either manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
