JohnKuthe Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hello Friends! I have a pair of La Scalas and I have a pair of JBL water resistant outdoor speakers I'd like to be able to select between. Any fave A/B Speaker switch folks here use? John Kuthe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Niles Audio DPS-1. I have been using 2 of these for 15 years with no issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I used an Adcom for a while until I downsized a bit. Built very well and the connectors are turn and lock....really easy. IIRC, @Rivernuggets bought it from me. https://www.ebay.com/b/Adcom-Speaker-Selector/81741/bn_7023224025 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glens Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Don't know what you're using for an amplifier, but for example some of the NAD stuff anyway inverts one channel so the draw on the supply rails goes opposite directions and the output of the inverted channel is reverted at the speaker connectors. Thus, the "grounds" are not common (one is actually the "hot" electrically) and a speaker switch box that uses a common ground throughout will not work on such equipment, not at all. (Well, it might, if care was taken, I suppose...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
