Ello
I have got a set of speakers. Had them a long time and by today's stardards they may seem antiquated. They are Altec Lansing ADA880's by the way. They are however still immensely powerful for their age and I really wouldn't want to part with them just to do what I am asking.
So there are two inputs on the speakers, one 3.5mm analog port and one RCA SPDIF. My PC is connected to the speakers using the 3.5mm port on the subwoofer and this is where both ports are. Well out the way and not easily accessible. Likewise my PC is under a desk; my case has a covering panel over the top that covers all the cables that are fed through the back side of the case. Needless to say that end of the 3.5mm cable is not easily accessible either.
There are times I would like to be able to plugs speakers into my iPhone but can't without doing a lot of reshuffling. So what I need is some device that will connect to the speakers, in which I then plug the input devices. Something that could sit on my desk where it is easily accessible and so I can plug other devices in easily
I understand this would need to be some kind of switchable device to select which input channel should be fed through to the speakers. Which is fine. A simple switch would be great Something small would be ideal that doesn't cost very much either
.
Anyone got any suggestions to solve my proble? Thank you
