Can you hook up two audio sources to one speaker system?

JamesAH · 09-11-2004, 05:54 PM

Will they both come through fine, messed up or will the system blow? I want to hook up a music and game console source to a simple Klipsch 2.1 system. Can I do this with a simple combiner from Radio Shack?

Thanks.

Just plug the game out sound RCA's to one of the inputs of your receiver

You receiver should have multiple inputs to connect your audio sources.

I think James may be referring to Klipsch computer speakers. Perhaps he’ll drop back by here and clarify,

You might want to get a 4-in-1 A/V switcher (around $20 at Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, etc).

Indeed I am refer to the computer speakers. I do not have a reciever.

I do not want a switch either, I want both of them to come through at the same time.

Thanks.

This seems a strange request. All I can think of is a mixer. I don't know if there are any software versions but there are plenty of hardware versions in any musicians store (and maybe a cheap one at Radio Shack).

don't they sell headphone splitters at Radio Shack? Just get a Y adapter, with two female 1/8" jacks at one end and 1 female 1/8" jack at the other end (they might only sell one with 2 females and 1 male, so you might need an adapter for it, too) but if you tell the guy at radio shack that that is what you need they can definately find something for you.

^That's my plan, but will it harm my stereo?
