Hardware Audio Mixer/Switcher

sqzit · June 28, 2017

Is there such a thing as a device I can plug in multiple sources (Say desktop, laptop, phone) and switch between multiple outputs (say various headphones or speakers) while combining the audio from the inputs?

There is as @Electronics Wizardy linked, but would you want USB connectivity to your computer as well or is this just for outputting to speakers / headphones?

yeah a mixer will work for part of what i'm looking for. Just dont need the speaker outputs or the mic inputs.

(probably gonna get this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000KGYAYQ/ref=s9u_wish_gw_i3?ie=UTF8&colid=3G1M6ENZJTTL8&coliid=I28958755H1ZHZ&pd_rd_i=B000KGYAYQ&pd_rd_r=XW3Q9HRXKYXA5CEPGFG0&pd_rd_w=1hNNb&pd_rd_wg=BtigM&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=M0WMNW8KDN1YF50AC6TE&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=41120b96-e6bb-4096-bead-ecb3296d2e75&pf_rd_i=desktop)

But I was hoping for something that i wouldn't have to plug in and out of, and could just switch sources or outputs by switching switches. There seems to be lots of them with only one output, but i cant find any with a bunch of outputs. Probably what i will do is buy two of the mixer posted above.
