I feel like what I'm looking for is so simple, but I'm having difficulty finding it... in the US at least.
I'm looking for a cheap RCA input selector switchbox. I just put together a computer for our studio, so I want to be able to switch our near-field monitors between that and our old recorder (a DA-38) as needed, or switch the output of our recording mixer between the two, without having to fuss with wires.
This is exactly what I need: http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/923/shopscr3360.html , but I can't find an equivalent in the US. Everything in the US seems to be a switcher for home audio and video, which I'm sure I could use, but I'd rather have an audio-only solution (I don't trust the quality of a box built to switch between an Xbox and DVD player... maybe it would be fine and not degrade the signal, I don't know).
I realize I should probably be looking to get a patchbay, but I don't have the money for that right now, and my needs aren't quite that complex I don't think.
Any advice would be really appreciated. Also, if I'm doing something painfully stupid, please let me know. I'm trying to take the cheap, simple, amateur's route, so there may be a better approach to all this that I'm not aware of.
Thank you!
