Solved! Need to connect several inputs to several outputs

[rafaelgmonteiro]

Hey,

It's hard for me to explain because even I have no idea whether or not this would be viable, but here goes:

I want something that I could plug my PC+Console+TV+Bluetooth Receiver and have that plug into 3 different outputs - speakers, home cinema and headphones.

I guess I'm looking for some sort of mixer but have no idea which kind or where to look for them.

Cheers.

You would need a mixer if you wanted to hear more than one source at a time. I suspect you don't need that.
What you want is a 4 x 4 audio video matrix switcher

Since these are pro gear they aren't cheap.
A work around is to use two of these

One is your source selector the other your output selector. The output selector is used in reverse. Connect the output of both switches to each other. Cheap and cheerful.
Of course if your home cinema has HDMI or digital inputs you would be much better off using those rather than analog.

Say I wanted to hear both PC and TV at the same time on the same output, would the mixer be the way to go?

Yes, MIXERS are used to combine multiple sources to 1 output to play simultaneously.
