A/B Switch
This will be an ongoing project and as such there will be no point of completion. The purpose of this project is build an A/B switch as the current market does not meet my needs in quality or specifications. Right now, If i want to use my desk speakers I have to put it into my computer. However, If i want to use my headphones with the inline microphone, I have to unplug my speakers and plug in my headphone to a mic+audio slitter into my pc. it is highly cumbersome to have to get up and do this so i am building this switch. The best part about 4 pole jacks is that a 3 pole plug can fit and work with them. This means i am able to leave my splitter plugged into my pc. from the splitter i will run a 4 pole male to male plug to a 3.5 jack on the box. the box with then split the connection to either A or B depending on which is selected using the switch.
