Robert BruceRobert Bruce: Okay I have a rather complex setup, I will try and make this short. I have been old school audio for years, my issue was I wanted to record from my turntable to my computer, and needed the output to still go to my Receiver, with this baby I can run the Tape output loop in to this baby and the I have 4 outputs, 1 to my computer, 1 back to the Receiver tape loop and I have 2 open to do as I please.

Allot of reviews say this thing produces hum, and I strongly disagree, I am not saying they do not have hum, I had hum when I first hooked it up, what that meant to me is that I have some ground loop, and after tracing out the ground loop and correcting it no more hum. There is not coloration in the audio, I do not know about the video side as I am only use the left + right. It just works , easy to setup, plug in you sources and then plug in you output, connect the power and your done. Less than 5 minutes and I was recording my Albums to my computer. (my turntable does not have USB or Line Level Output it requires a pre-amp), with this setup anything on the tape monitor loop goes to my computer, and this does not add any noise on the tape monitor loop, it converts the output into 4...

Broc Pratt: I started a retro setup in my garage and wanted the easiest possible way to hook them all up. This thing works great with my multi power switcher and it makes switching between the devices as easy as a flick of the switch. Plus you add a av to hdmi adapter to the outlet and say goodbye to lag.

Sa.28: Ordered 2 units for a retro console setup. After a few months of limited use 1 unit has failed and the other has started degrading picture quality with major interference.

dragonmaster_000: This product works exactly how you’d expect it to. I also like how you don’t have to plug it into power for it to work, that’s just convenient. But one thing that’s not so good about it is that the plastic quality is a bit low, but I expected that.

SEDECO USA, Inc: I picked this up to use as an audio input switch for my temporary "budget hifi" setup. coupled with a turntable pre-amp (cheapest starts on amazon at around $12 USD) this works pretty well to swap between my record players, tape deck, chromecast, cd player, and DAC on the AUX input on my vintage receiver.

I also tried it in the reverse: plug my cd player into the "output" and connect several amps to the switch using the 1-8 inputs.
The signal from the CD player can be sent to different amps with the push of a button, making this completely bidirectional.
Why is that cool? Well, if you're a nut like me and have lots of vintage gear and want to immediately put them against each other, you can use switch no 1for a range of inputs, run switch no 1's OUTPUT to the OUTPUT of switch no 2 (which will act as switch no 2's solitary INPUT), and connect the AUX of each amp to switch no 2's INPUTS (allowing you to send the signal as an OUTPUT to one amp at a time).

I wonder if it can handle being used as a speaker switch?
<<WARNING - that could put your speakers in danger since there is no offset circuitry>>

I watched a lot of reviews about these types...

James Flaherty: A lot of negative reviews about this unit here regarding complaints of "hum". Here's the thing: That hum isn't coming from the switcher, it's feeding back through your video line. This is a common issue for systems connected to TV cable due to a faulty or nonexistent ground plane on the provider side.

I'm using this purely as an audio switcher, and while the switches are kinda clunky, they don't introduce switching noise (or any other noise for that matter). Construction is metal, and rear jacks seem pretty solid. The only downside is that you need to supply your own rubber feet to protect the surface of what it sits on.

Brent Lidstone: As many other people have said, this unit DOES in fact have a very noticeable high-pitched whining/hum sound. In my personal application in my house (I have 4 speaker systems all connected together, for music), it gets the job done but I can't turn any of my speaker systems up above about 50-60% maximum volume before that high-pitched hum starts being audible. Most of the time I have no reason to turn my speakers up above that level, so it works fine enough for me. But it's pretty hard to recommend it to anyone else. For regular home users, just going with something like a cheap, 5 way headphone splitter hub is probably gonna give you similar results (you'll have to turn the volume up to max on all your speakers, which will create an audible humming noise, but hey, so does this cheap thing, and I'd probably rather hear a brown-noise electrical hum than this, which sounds like the feedback from an unplugged cable.

The only real use case I can see for people is if you actually need 6 or 8 stereo systems all connected in sync (ie. maybe you own a bar), and for some reason you can really only afford to spend 20 bucks. If what you want is to have 8 stereos all playing at 50%...
