Reddit reviews Importer520 Black 3-Way Audio Video AV RCA Switch Selector Box Splitter for Xbox XBOX360 DVD PS2 PS3 with AV Cable

No it isn't. If you are using a low end consumer grade controller with RCA outputs going to powered speakers just put a switchbox inbetween and hook your phone up. One flick of the switch and it changes the input to the phone:

just ignore the yellow / video cable input.

Both red and white jacks need to come from the same input; they correspond to the left and right channels of the input so the amp really only has 1 input. What you want is an RCA switch:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004T8KZCM?pc_redir=1413854184&robot_redir=1

What about something like this?

You may want to specify what kind of connector the input of your sound system uses. Otherwise, how about something like this:

and then some of these to convert between 3.5mm jacks and composite:

An audio switch to select the signal you want to hear might be practical. Example from Amazon

This thing just arrived after I bought it looking for a splitter to use with my easycap to record some melee. Did I fuck up, because I don't think this is what I wanted. If so, any recommendations for cheap splitters from amazon.ca?

The adapters you linked may work if you connect both whites to one and both reds to the other, then plug them in to the respective connections on the amp. It might cause interference issues and lack of sound quality though. You'd be better off with a switch allowing you to have multiple inputs connected and just switch between them. Something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004T8KZCM?cache=23a6b60c146f7421487c35a2c978e574&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1413936428&sr=1-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

is cheap and would work. It also handles video input. There are more advanced ones too with more inputs or a remote, etc.

When you say regular cable splitters would you mean something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Composite-Audio-Selector-Switch-Splitter/dp/B004T8KZCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425191540&sr=8-1&keywords=av+splitter

Quick amazon search came across this: http://www.amazon.com/3-Way-Switch-Selector-Splitter-XBOX360/dp/B004T8KZCM

I have all my systems hooked into my Vizio. So i'm pretty sure they can run on any television, just comes down to preference. And I know i've seen people post that they use splitters like this to connect all their systems. I'm not there yet, but once I move out i'll be investing in these and maybe a few of these:

Hope I helped!

My setup is

AT-LP120-USB -> Schitt Magni 2 Uber -> Headphones

The Schiit Magni 2 Uber has a pre-amp output so when you unplug the headphones it will output the sound to your powered speaker or amplifier.

You could always use a RCA splitter like this one but I'm not sure if it will affect the sound or not.

Switch boxes for RCA connections are SOOO cheap

Your Mackies take an RCA Input. SO you need to split that RCA Input into three connections. This will become quite convoluted and require LOTS of adapters, as it just isn't what these speakers were meant for.

You could use one of these and then run your turntable in with RCAs (you might require a pre-amp), you can use your 3.5mm jack output on your pc with a 3.5mm male to rca male adapter like this and a second one of those adapters to go from echo to splitter.

With this setup you could play any of those devices on the Mackies, but only one at a time

You might be looking for an audio input switcher. This one will work, but might not grant a good enough audio signal.

If you want to use both at the same time I'd recommend using some kind of mixer (Numark M101 or Behringer Xeny 502/302).

The more studio oriented options (eg. Nowsonic Switcher, SM Pro Audio M-Patch 2, Samson C-Control) will probably do a better job (less loss in audio quality), however they obviously are not cheaper.

For non-simultaneous playback:

Here's what you could do:
Buy one 3.5mm Stereo Male to Two RCA Male Splitter Cable, and one 2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch. Also get a 3-Way Audio Video AV RCA Switch Selector Box Splitter. That all together is $9.82 US.

Connect the xbox to your TV as normal. Use the RCA cable included with the splitter to connect your TV's audio output to the Splitter's Input 1. You don't need to connect the yellow video connection on that cable. Then use a male 3.5mm Stereo to RCA cord to connect your laptop/iphone's headphone jack to the Splitter's Input 2. Plug the 2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch cable into the Splitter's Output, and connect your headphones to the 3.5mm female end. You should then easily be able to switch between ipod/laptop and xbox/tv sound feeding to your headphones by adjusting the splitter's output switch. This is a very basic setup, but should achieve what you're going for as long as you didn't want the two inputs playing simultaneously.

For simultaneous playback:

Here's what you could do (I admit this is probably a bit of a wrap around way of doing it, but it was fun to come up with):

Buy:
Two Behringer MICROMIX MX400 4-Channel Mixer, one 3.5mm Stereo Male To 2 RCA Male Cable, one Male RCA to male RCA cable, one male RCA to female 3.5mm cable, six 3.5mm to 2RCA female adapter, and six 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch stereo jack adapters. This setup without shipping and handling costs $75.55 US.

This thing only outputs in mono though, so it doesn't benefit your headphones greatly (only one side will play sound). This is why we're gonna get two of them though, and this is the fun part. Check out this picture: http://i.imgur.com/UPMX5j2.png. It has the steps included with a crude illustration. The benefit of this setup is that you can have the ipod/laptop coming in at a different volume than the tv/xbox. Also has space for two more inputs if your ever have more you want to plug in (or to allow a laptop and ipod to be plugged in at the same time).

I... I think that setup would work.

Isn't there a switch in the base for the turtle beach?

The xbone will have optical out for audio and on the PC is fine with the RCA cable.

Just switch the switch on the the beach. And change inputs on the receiver.

Hah I thought u ere talking about the same tb headset i have its a wireless one with a base that u can select inputs on.



However, get an RCA input selector from radio shack /walmart and have it go out to the receiver. Does the monitor for Xbox have an audio out? I picked up a 27" ASUS that has audio out so I HDMI in from my ps3 and 3.5mm out to my stereo.

There are several ways to accomplish what you are looking for, I'l list the most common. The cheapest and easiest way would be through an RCA switch like the one located at http://www.amazon.com/Composite-Audio-Selector-Switch-Splitter/dp/B004T8KZCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425623481&sr=8-1&keywords=RCA+switch They are fairly easy and essentially turn your one input into two or more. You could also get an A/V Receiver but that sounds a little overkill. Most will, however, upscale those older devices to proper 1080p resolution. The chances of finding a TV with that many RCA inputs in this day and age are pretty slim as little to no devices use those connections anymore, although if you looked around I'm sure you could find one. Hope that helps!

you could go cheaper and use one of these.

RCA splitter or switch?

Just got my first headphone amp and DAC. Amp only has one RCA input and I want to run my phono preamp into the amp along with input from the DAC. Is there any downside to using a split RCA cable (something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MRVF9XJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_ArTpzbSKYTD4R) as opposed to a switch (something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004T8KZCM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_sqTpzbRMQQKP9)?

Obviously I would only be running one source at a time.

>RCA switchers, but they all seem to be too expensive

[this] (http://www.amazon.com/niceEshop-Composite-Selector-Switch-Splitter/dp/B004T8KZCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415488695&sr=8-1&keywords=rca+switch) is $3, what makes you say they're too expensive?

>not exactly what I need

It seems to be exactly what you need, no?

BTW - we have a purchase advice thread, it should be at the very top of your screen and mentioned no less than 3 times in the process of posting.

So it has two RCA connectors?

If so, it has a single stereo input, and what you need is a selector switch to give you multiple stereo inputs.

As below, you need something like this, just ignore the video channel (yellow)

You should try to get the VGA HD AV cable listed on this page. After that, you would need a VGA swticher and an RCA cable switcher. You may be able to find both functionalities in the same box if you look hard.
