RE: Splitting Inputs

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Keith

Yes they are fully remote.

If any ones interested they are Sherwood AX 4103R from Richer Sounds at
=A3149 each, although not the last word in audiophile standards it is one of the few amps I could find with IR switchable speaker A/B select and
IR everything else for that matter. I demo'd one next to my beloved
Arcam Alpha 5 (Old now but I still love the sound pumped through my
TDL's, kinda like an old pair of slippers!) and although not as good
more than acceptable for a multi-room environment.

Sorry Keith, back to your point. Hadn't considered 'Y' splitters because I guessed that their would be a loss in sound quality and possible noise problems, am I woofing up the wrong twig?

Got my eyes on your KAT5 boxes as I am considering still having my Alpha 5 in the living room. In your opinion would splitting three ways cause
problems?

Look forward to your reply.

Rob

Rob,

You say the amps have remotely switchable speakers, is the source
selection also remotely controlable on each amp ?

If so you can simply parallel the inputs using Y splitters.

If the amps are remote from the sources, a single set of Audio only
KAT5's will allow you to send 2 sources to the amp location and connect
them to different inputs on the amps.

Hi

I am setting up a multi-room Hi-Fi at my new pad and after much
buggering around am going to run two amps at a central location which in turn will power two sets of speakers, the amps two speaker outs are
remote switchable so in effect I will have four independent zones of
audio (Albeit though from only one source.). I am doing it this way
because I want the audio to be discreet (Ceiling mounted Kef speakers)
and all the gubbins at a central location.

What I am going to need though is a way of splitting my input (CD,
Minidisk and Digital Source) across two (and possibly three in the
future) amps. Is a custom build from Keith at Kat5.tv is the answer with some v.short patch leads? If I could find a hi-fi separate size splitter that would be even better. Remember it would need to be a permanent
split not a switched splitter. HAVING SAID THAT if their was a remote
controllable switchable splitter I could have multi zone and multi
source!!!.....drool!

Thanks in advance.

Rob
