Hey all,
A friend of mine has asked me for a recommendation for a cheap-ish (<$200) device that would allow him to switch between inputs and do some basic tone control.
The requirements are:
The outputs are to a pair of Eve Audio subs (XLR or RCA).
The best I've come up with so far is this. Specs look ok but not great. Inputs appear to be balanced TRS, which is not ideal but workable. EQ filters are in about the right places though.
There are various other similar units from other pro audio manufacturers. I looked at Soundcraft initially, but their budget mixers don't allow the line inputs to pass through the tone controls. Perhaps others know of something else good out there that I've overlooked?
I also thought of the Schiit Loki, but it's expensive where he is in Australia and has only one pair of inputs.
DIY boards would also be fine I think.
The main requirement is that the device interferes with the signal as little as possible.
Any suggestions welcome
Andreas

The requirements are:
- 2 x switchable single-ended inputs
- 1 x single-ended or balanced output
- Bass & treble tone controls, or basic parametric EQ
