Sescom Balanced Audio Professional Grade XLR A/B Passive Switch

Yes, the image on Sescom's website does show the current version of the SES-XLR-AB which was recently updated with a recessed A/B switch. We will post the updated image to our website to show the current version of this item.

Hi Andrzej, Thanks for inquiring. This switch can switch two AES/EBU signals. Since it's a passive switch, it won't be seamless switching, and there will be a dropout in the signal while switching, but it should otherwise work for you.

Hi Kevin. There will in all likelihood be an audible click or pop from the switch itself when depressed. However, as a passive device, whether that noise would bleed into the signal would depend on what is connected, according to our engineers, and there is no way to really tell what noise would come through the signal beforehand. I hope this is helpful. Thank you!

These passive A/B switchers will A-B anything with XLR connectors as long as conversion* is not expected. The main use is for switching balanced mic or balanced line-level analog audio from two sources to one destination, but it can be used in reverse but adapters may be necessary to change the sex of the XLR connectors as needed.*What we mean by conversion is as follows; e.g.: If an unbalanced signal is adapted to an XLR connector the AB switch will not output a balanced signal, but will output the same unbalanced signal and level as input. As another example, if mic-level audio is input then the unit will output mic-level and not line-level. What you put in is what you get out, one to one per selection from either the A or B input.
