Heritage Audio Synth Buddy 10-To-1 Stereo Selector
Heritage Audio has introduced Synth Buddy, a 10 to 1 reversible and fully passive stereo switch for managing large synth rigs.
Synth Buddy lets you connect up to 10 stereo (or 20 mono) line level sources and toggle between them with the turn of a knob.
Synth Buddy is a passive design, meaning that it does not require power and it passes your signals through transparently.
That’s the dream made real by Heritage Audio’s Synth Buddy, a compact, desktop-friendly, reversible and fully passive stereo switch.
It’s basically a mixer…… And so, so useful.
And it’s reversible, meaning that all those new inputs could just as easily become outputs.
The ins and outs of it
The Synth Buddy has 20 mono TS jack inputs, wired to act as stereo pairs, and one stereo/two mono TS jacks. Its all-passive design ensures crystal-clear line-level signals with no added colouration and it doesn’t even need a power source.
Heritage audio promises that it’s “built like a tank”, and it’s small enough to fit on any crowded desktop, measuring 190mm x 105mm x 80mm, while weighing a pleasingly robust 988g.
