Remote Selector Dual Channel unit with two sets of XLR Outputs and one set of XLR Inputs

The simplest ideas are usually the best! ARX’s new Remote Selector is a stereo out signal selector for the extremely popular Audibox range.

The new Remote Selector silently switches a stereo pair of XLR female input connectors to either A or B pairs of male XLR outputs

ARX ‘SoftSwitch’ technology achieves this with no loud bangs through the audio system when switching.

Output Channel control can be selected in 2 ways:

Mode 1 by remote switch / relay closure (using an external power pack / wall wart), orMode 2 by 12 – 24VDC

With no DC voltage applied, Output A, the default normal audio signal, is selected.

When +12 – 24VDC is applied to Pins 3 and 4 on the Dinkle type connector, then Output B is selected.

Typical applications include remote controlled zoning, loudspeaker selection, and A-B comparison of audio units.
Another useful application is remotely switching between 2 bands, or Live Band and DJ when both are using different Speaker system.

Note – Connectors are inserted in the top of the unit. Please allow adequate space above the Remote Selector to allow for the connectors to be removed or inserted.

Precision engineered Most of the Audibox range share a common footprint and manufacturing platform. Offset lid screws enable close side-by-side mounting of multiple units.
