Selector Switches

Description

Very compact audio selector switches that switch between 3, 5 or 6 sources (depending on model). All contacts and connections are gold plated for long life even in the most challenging environments. Same basic construction and size as the DACT CT2 audio attenuators and CT4 balance controls. Can be used in all sorts of applications, projects, upgrades or manufacturing. Switch audio signals or other types of signals with this high precision, quality multi-position rotary switch. The CT3 switches two channels simultaneously (stereo) or 8 channels for AV purposes. For both channels, it switches signal AND ground. This is an effective way to minimise the risk of creating ground loops.
