It
makes a lot of sense.
I
do
something (almost) the same - but in my case the amps are "remote", turned
on/off by X-10 appliance modules, and I use KAT5 to carry the signal "long
distances" at line level, and only have "short distances" of speaker
cable.
Again,
controlled by a Pronto, in my case using an ageing X-10 infrared
receiver.
I
don't know enough electics to trust myself to install relays properly
:-)

Hi
Peeps.
Ok
–
here are some questions I have:
- I
want to have a serial / parallel port interface, with say, 8 relays on it,
which I can turn off / on using some simple program (I aren’t a
programmer –
so I’d struggle to get somewhere with that side of
things..)
- Multi-room
hifi … I want to be able to split a source signal (from something
such as a
cd player / mp3 server (linout)) into 4 outputs, and then feed each output
to a different amplifer – can something be done? – maybe use
the ‘Kat 5’
system and a hub?
What I
want is a multi-room hifi, but I refuse to pay nearly a grand for an amp
…
(and I’d enjoy doing this way a lot, lot more – and it’s
a hug learning
experience.!!)
I
want
to control which amp is used by using my pc (output to my tv (which is
done))
using a Phillips pronto + an IR device on my PC (can control basic
functions
of pc this way) and switch amps on or off (hence relay board.. – much
like a
car stereo install – can have several amps, controlled by a signal
wire
..(only amps turn on, once you’ve got the stereo turned
on..)
I
hope
this makes sense… it does to me
;o)
If
anyone can help me, I shall be eternally grateful..
!
Many
thanks in advance.
Jonathan.
