A/B Switchbox for RCA or Headphone jack.

[amdhunter]

Doing a small DIY project at home, and I'd like to be able to use one set of speakers with 2 audio sources.

Just want to be able to switch the audio sources easily.

I can build something using parts from Radio Shack I am sure, but I'd rather have something fabricated already.

Anyone have any idea? Budget is $50.

These are available from most online electronics stores (partsexpress, etc.). Here's a simple one from amazon for $10:

AV splitter Coaster mentioned would do the trick.

That said, have you considered not "switching" them and just getting a splitter? to have it take both inputs at the same time? That way, you can simply turn on either source, and you won't have to bother with switching at all? probably cheaper as well if this is a better option....

Does "audio source" mean an actual line source or an amplified source?

He's saying RCA jack ... so I assume he's not talking about amplified...

Yea. Gonna share my mixer + computer with one set of speakers. That is perfect. Thanks (and ordered.)
