Hey there … I am new here and have no real experience with a summing mixer and/or patchbay (or whatever device I am looking for).
First of all, let me explain what I what to do.
Imagine you have two devices (e.g., a laptop and a smartphone) each with a combo female jack (4-pole 3.5mm). You are watching a film with headphones in your ears and suddenly someone calls you – you have to either unplug the headphones from laptop and plug them into your phone or take them out of your ears.
What I want is to sum up the stereo output from laptop and phone plus somehow split (using a two point patchbay or whatever?) the mic input (I want the input to go only to one device, not both ).
I found on the Internet this device. It is splitter and mixer in one box. I have no (or just very small) idea what is written in the description on that website, so this is the main reason I am posting this thread/question here.
Is this device capable of what I want all alone? Or should I get some other summing-only device (2× 2-channel stereo) to sum up the output and patchbay the mic and then joy them with some adapters?
Or if you have an easy, DIY guide, how to solder a simple device like that, you can post it, too.
PS – I am not familiar with the terminology, so please forgive me if I named something differently than what is usual. Plus English is not my native tongue .
