The Nowsonic Switcher is a controller for connecting a stereo audio source and setting its level on a connected monitoring system. The multifunctional Switcher has a completely passive design, so the sound of the input signal is not distorted by active components. The Switcher’s output signal is identical to the input signal, but the volume can be lowered. This allows to set the perfect level for the audio source in your control or editing room without considering the operating level in the monitoring signal flow.

The Switcher has balanced combo inputs for connecting balanced or unbalanced XLR or 1/4" TRS plugs. The two output pairs for connecting powered monitors or a monitoring amplifier are also implemented as XLR and 1/4" TRS jacks. A selector switch allows the A/B comparison of the two connected monitoring systems. The Switcher’s main volume knob also serves as a mute switch for both output pairs. The enclosure of the compact desktop unit is made of metal and can freely be placed in your work space. Due to the passive signal flow, no external power supply is required.
