Looking for stereo XLR output switch box-ideas?

[Ivan Beaver]

I am looking for a PASSIVE XLR switch box that does the following:

Yes it is real easy to build or modify one-but this is for a customer and it would be nice if it was "all pretty" and finished-if you know what I mean and it keeps is simple for me.

Stereo-all XLR with a pair of female XLR inputs and two pair of male XlR outputs.

The switch should be fairly heavy duty so it can be thrown around a bit. I don't care if toggle or push button.

I have found ones that are opposite polarity and allow you to switch between various inputs-but I want to be able to switch between 2 pairs of outputs (stereo).

Thanks in advance for any help.

This switch: 4X Soviet Grade 1 Ceramic Rotary Switch 8 Pole 5 Positions 8P5T Non Shorting | eBay

(or something along those lines)

I don't need anything like that-a simple 4PDT switch will do the job. I have plenty of those.

As I said-I am looking for an actual product-not a DIY-but may take that route if need be.

I did find a decent looking box for $362-but that is a bit high for something so simple

SM Pro Audio M-Patch 2 might be a bit more than what you are looking for, but will perform the output switching at a reasonable price.

Simple, but not cheap:

I think you'll have a hard time finding what you want, but if you take a passive splitter like this Pro Co Sound, Inc. Pro Co MS-42A Rackmount 4-Channel 1-Into-2 Microphone Splitter Audio Splitters at Markertek.com
and replace the ground lift switch (or maybe get lucky and it is a DPDT switch already) you'd be good to go.

Haven't seen anything with ONLY 2 outputs, but if you don't mind more, then one of these would work.

Take the 2 in 1 out, replace 2 of the male with female connectors, and re-wire the switch ??

And by the time I do that-I could just build one from scratch for much less.

It is looking like that is what is going to happen

Absolutely true, but you mentioned that you liked the "factory built, not D-I-Y" appearance that the store-bought box provided.
A project box, 6 XLR's and a switch can't be more than $40, with an hour to bust out the holes and wire it up. (as I look in my "junk box", all I would need is the project box. I am sure your's is stocked about the same.....)
