If you are an audio enthusiast and if you have multiple audio systems and speakers, you may definitely need to have a speaker selector switch. These switches allow you to route a audio signal through a switching system and distribute it to various speakers. Using this listener can select single amplifier – speaker combination through the switch. We mainly design this switch to share our speaker system with multiple audio amplifiers. We design this switch to handle 6 stereo audio channels. Final view of 6 channel speaker selector prototype. This switch is based on PIC16F88 - 8bit MCU, ULN2803 Darlington transistor arrays and 12 DPCO relays. MCU is the core component of this switch and it control all relays, seven-segment display and store last channel in E 2 PROM memory and restore it during next power-up. In this system all audio lines are switching using 12 DPCO relays. To get optimal results we recommended to use good quality relays with thus switch. In our prototype we u
