I’m very happy to have finally found a solution to an issue I have had for a while - I have on my secondary desk a nice compact pair of speakers (the “Bose Computer MusicMonitor” speakers to be exact), but since they only have a single input, and I have a varying number of devices and computers I want to connect, I needed some sort of audio mixer to allow them to connect simultaneously. I had previously bought a couple of options, but I was never quite happy with the design/build quality, let alone the audio quality! I recently bought this unit, and I’m happy to report it’s working very well so far :)

The only slight annoyance is the power connector (USB-C, hooray!) is located on the front, thankfully that is sorted with the addition of a handy 180º adapter…

Next to it is my HDMI KVM, sure this takes care of switching audio inputs to the speaker output, but only for machines that I have connected through the KVM and generally only ones with HDMI output - there’s a few GPUs that support audio over a DVI output if it’s hooked up to an HDMI adapter, iirc, but not all…

Currently listening: Tame Impala - “My Old Ways”
