IE1 RCA Audiophile Switchbox

IE1 Audiophile RCA Switchbox

This Input Expander is a passive device that allows connection of 6 tape recorders to your preamplifier. Featuring discrete switching which switches both the positive and negative of the signal, which is uncommon, this eliminates the possibility of ground loops occurring when you connect multiple devices.  Most RCA switch boxes have a common ground which is the cause for this problem and the more devices you connect, the greater the likelihood of ground loops that cause a low frequency hum.

Designed primarily for playback purposes, this RCA Input Expander could also be used for the recording section designating the Record out signal to your various tape recorders. Many more applications listed below.

We spared no expense in designing this using a high grade Elma six position switch and Vampire RCA’s with high-grade wiring that completes the package. Minor sound degradation from the original source signal can be found on test equipment but sounds undetectable based on many tests we have done.
