mustang guy Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) I wanted a way to switch inputs on a speaker from different sources. Works like a charm. BTW, the main source is the HT amp, and the other is a mono amp connected to a mono preamp. Edited November 28, 2013 by mustang guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 That's interesting. Nice job on it. DrWho created a switch box for me that allows me to listen to my Khorns with both my 2-ch (VRD's) and HT (Acurus A200) systems.I think Niles makes one for bare wire, but It was important for me to use banana plugs. I think there was a thread on it a few years ago. Will see if I can find it... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I use one of these in reverse to switch the L&R Belles from VRDs to Emotiva HT amp. For control of the 12 volt trigger I have a Wii power supply with one leg of the circuit hooked up to one of these Contact Closures to control the speaker selector and one of the CC legs controlling PC fans to blow over my VRD tubes. I use Roomie Remote app on my IPAD wireless to the home ethernet lan for control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 A while back I designed a somewhat simple remote controlled speaker switch. Seen here. Did you ever build any? How did they work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 A while back I designed a somewhat simple remote controlled speaker switch. Seen here. Doesn't look very simple to me! You are modest. I don't know if there is such a thing as a remote controlled stand alone "source" A/B switch. It seems that with very little modification, this could be that unique device. Perhaps you could also program the remote to power down the unused source moments before toggling to the new source. It seems like it would be a good idea to protect the source amp circuitry. I'm sure there is more to it than that. My head is spinning trying to understand the simple drawing you attached here. I need a wee dram.

Mike Lindsey Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I also have one of these in my bedroom... http://www.amazon.com/OSD-Audio-ATM-7-Speaker-Selector/dp/B004Y8MH3M Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
