Hi all,
My audio interface has only two analog line level outputs. I want to connect both my monitors (XLR input) and my headphone amp (RCA input) to my audio interface and be able to switch between the two. I will never need both outputs to be active at the same time.
I found this device which looks capable of achieving what i want to do, but it just has unnecessary number of inputs and outputs (i basically need 1 in 2 out with a switch) I was wondering if you have any recommendations of a simpler. more compact device that is preferably cheaper which will suit my purpose. And I was thinking if more inputs than I need would equal to more noise? ( https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Nobsound-Balanced-Converter-Selector-Splitter/dp/B07D7P7366 )
Also, is such a device the optimal solution to my problem? Will there be more noise etc. when i am using my monitors with this device in the signal chain (i.e. when it is set to XLR to XLR) as opposed to when the monitors are directly connected to my interface? For example, with this device, will the XLR output still perform as a balanced output or does the conversion to unbalanced take place before the output switch? I am open to all suggestions!
Sorry if some of the questions I ask sound ridiculous, I am fairly knowledgable with regards to digital audio but I suck when it comes to electronics
Also, sorry if parts of my wording don't make sense, English is not my first language!
Thanks in advance.
