On one of my friend request i have made a DIY Speaker Switch from local components available. It has 2 Inputs from Amplifier & Single Output to Speakers, so he can enjoy any one of his amplifier without changing the Speaker Cables.

I had shared the Photos on our forum earlier but in different Discussion Thread the link for same is Speaker Switch

Below are the Photos of same.

Just came across this DIY project and it's neat and worth. Your floorstanding speakers get a lots of appreciations from FM. As you are DIY person, I will request you to take Dolby Atmos speakers project. Most of the FM are switching to Atmos enable AVR and find it difficult to source Atmos speakers which can be easily mounted on wall or ceiling. You may discuss with FM regarding specifications. It will be a great help in this regards....

Nicely done ! How about putting the Toggle switch as push button ? Do we compromise anything if done?
 
I think for Push Buttons it will require additional circuits & I am not master in circuits. where as this one is simple toggle switch.

I will try to design one
 
This is wonderful stuff.

I have been looking for this since long. This certainly will help me and many others in look out for the same .
 
Hi...This is really nice. Last couple of days I have been looking for this type of selector.

One ques - What type of toggle switch have you used or what is called? Basically from what I read, at no point the two sets of amp outs should get connected. So the switch has to first disconnect the first set of connections before making the other connection. Given that I see the OFF option, I believe the switch has that already addressed, right?

Yes at centre there will be no connection.

It is a DPDT toggle switch with a null position.

Here is an example

http://projectpoint.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=499014897803&keyword=dpdt

I too made one with two of these switches for some testing purpose, but nothing of this degree of cosmetic and user friendly perfection.

Yes - with the switches like above or the others that I could find online, we would need two switches (3-pairs). Looks like somehow Sadik was able to find one with six pairs - that way only one switch is enough.

Yes 12 pole DPDT was also available, but I got of these as it was cheaper and I just needed it for some temporary testing
 
Anyone looking for one these switches? I got one, but now not using it as my setup changed. It's a fantastic box of very high quality. Pm me for details.
