Sescom SES-XLR Reviews

Great Switch

By Thomas
Rated 5 out of 5

I love this footpedal! I plug two separate mics into it and I can switch back and forth between them with NO bleed. Well worth the money! I'm a very well satisfied customer.

Usless balance control

This will most likely work for most users and situations that it was intended for. I did not work for me. I needed something that could balance between two microphones like the balance control on an amplifier or headphones. There is very little noticeable difference between full left and full right. So if you're looking for something that will have a noticeable difference in level, this will not do that. If you don't care and just want to add another mic or split an xlr output this will work.

Is the image outdated? The SESCOM site shows a recessed A/B switch and these images show the older style and accident prone A/B switch.
Asked by: Mel
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.

Can it be used to switch between two AES/EBU ...

Can it be used to switch between two AES/EBU inputs?
Asked by: Andrzej
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.

Does the switch pop when switching output in live ...

Does the switch pop when switching output in live PA situation?
Asked by: Kevin
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!

question

Can this be used to switch a single input (a DAC) between two outputs (headphone amp, main rig amp)?
Asked by: Michael A.
Hi Michael: I don't see why it would be a problem since the unit is passive and has no internal electronics to contend with. You may hear a slight pop when switching between your two output sources and might have to mute or reduce the volume of the unit that you are switching to .Hope this helps.Rick
