Re: Problems with dual amp set up

The switcher has an a/b switch and a both switch.  Tuner out is live, you could run an always on amp on that as well.  there is a phase switch to run either two channels out of phase in the same amp or two amps out of phase.  Ground lift as well.  Dead silent, transparent, long battery life.  Iso transformers.  no internal switches so its fully setable from the outside and simple.  I'll try to get a picture up soon.

Yes working on it will post soon. Things have delayed me posting like two kids graduating from college this month. Thanks for asking
cheers Ron

Re: Problems with dual amp set up

I like the footprint of the Category 5 switcher. Very nice.

Agree. Thats a snazzy looking box. Would like to pick up a higher end switcher myself, just wish the really really good stuff didn't cost quite so much. Been using a cheap rapco AB/Y for a few years now. Works fine but would like something better. I have a sticker over the logo so nobody knows what brand it is!

The Cat5 box isn't on the website, guess anyone who wants one would have to email directly.

Re: Problems with dual amp set up

I ordered the Lehle Little Dual last night. Got $15 off from Musicians Friend for Cinco De Mayo sale or something. Hope that is the answer to my prayers! Thanks for all the help!

Re: Problems with dual amp set up

If you're looking at the Lehle products, I fould out there are 2 different products of 1at3 and 1@3.

1@3 is an A, B or C type switcher which means one 1 amp at a time.
1at3 can be programed to allow an ABY.

Re: Problems with dual amp set up

JBfan- should clear up your issues and DougH made a good observation.  I went with a Radial JX2 and no issues running my TR Jet and Ceriatone OTS together or individually. If you stil have issues after Lehle, check all your cables.
