I'm curious what folks think are excellent quality switchers that could be used for demos. For example, if I have several pre-amps and want to set up a shootout where the preamps can each be auditioned by flipping a switch or hitting a button, what options are out there that are well thought of? Goals would be to have the switching be as noiseless as possible and with as little delay as possible between switch changes. Ideally, a mixing console should not be a part of the equation. Buying/borrowing/renting would be an easier way to go than re-inventing the wheel and building one....Thanks in advance.

Why would you bother for demos? Shooting out mics? What a great way to ruin any vibe.
take a two channel preamp....dynamic on one channel...SDC on the other...long enough cables to get to anything in the studio...make a demo.

Thanks for the ideas, everybody. This is really for personal use and lab work, not literally recording demos. All part of the learning process while tweaking gear design....

I think its a GREAT idea. |

Right, Tonycamphd. One scenario is where I'd want to compare the sounds of two pre-amp designs using several different mic types or brands. I'd want to have everything cabled up and be able to choose mic and pre-amp pairings by pressing buttons. I could spend some time level matching between the two pre-amps when a different mic is selected, then quickly flip back and forth between the two pre-amp designs for subjective comparisons.
The MicMaid looks to be good for this app. I could hook up 4 mics, two or more pre-amps, then choose the combo.
