Along with what @DonR. Mentioned another example would be feeding power monitors from the TV to create a decent surround set up.The switch lets you "lie" to the source and tell it you have 8 channel audio even though your TV for example only has stereo
Can someone tell me a use for this?
Something like a 5.1 with 5 JBL 305's or similar. Or even just to tease out a LCR 3 channel system.
I can think of dozens of applications.
For $30-40 you can have any number of combos using powered monotors.
In a lot of use cases this may be a budget oriented system, 2nd system, garage thing, computer nearfield surround thing or a way to add some hometheater to an otherwise 2 channel music oriented hifi rig.
