DIY Headphone Switcher

[@astroporpoise7802]

Thank you so much for explaining in detail how the switch works and how it is to be wired, extremely helpful! Also, nice 600 Ohm AKG K240 Monitors :)

Glad it was helpful. The AKGs are getting up there in age, but still reliable ;)

4:35. Wow - haven't seen a guy use his feet as a human vice in a score of videos. Practical - yea; safe - not really. But I really dug your close-ups of the placement of your audio connectors in the box. Q: was that an aluminum box, and did you paint it yourself? You, my friend, are an artist when it comes to wiring/soldering. I was positively hypnotised watching you work. Thanks for sharing this with us. I subscribed right away.

thank you. yes, the enclosure is aluminium and i buy them already painted here ... www.musikding.de/Typ-B-farbig

just replace the 3pdt switch with 4pdt and use TRRS open wire replacement cables... thats a lazy mans headphones switch box. but thanks for the idea man really appreciate his video.

HI. I am started a similar build. I was wondering if you would post where you sourced the parts for this. Thanks.

[@SLARPmusic]

I ordered everything off of musikding.de .

[@RanvierBrown]

This is very helpful. Thanks for the idea And btw, what is the title of the music when you marked the box?

[@SLARPmusic]

just some royalty free backing track.

Is it true that this completely switches all three conductors so that no ground loop hum issues are possible ?

[@SLARPmusic]

yes. left/right/ground are switched independedly. there can be no groundloops (provided, the jacks are isoleated from the encolsure).

[@harrij.9542]

@@SLARPmusic so the grounds have to be lifted?

[@techguyz5916]

Can i use optocoupler for the same???with micro controller I want it for 8 channel. Please answer Edit: buy is very expensive

[@SLARPmusic]

that would be an entirely different thing. nothong in this video applies to your use case. sorry.

Hi, I am thinking about doing something like this but I have a 4 pole 3.5 mm headset and speakers. Is there a way to just have one port for each and have it wired to have a mic on off switch and an audio headset/speaker/off switch.

[@SLARPmusic]

the only problem i see, is getting a 4-pole input jack. if you have that, you just split out the stereo signal to one 3-pole (left, right, ground) on/off switch and the mic signal to one 2-pole on/off.
