Re: Line-level audio distribution

["yhkeppy" <keith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Spot on - that's exactly what i'm after!! The RU-UDA4 is exactly
right (though i'd prefer 6 outputs....).

I'll start hunting for the Maplin module - I had started to look for
one of these modules, but was not having much luck. I'd prefer to do
it this way due to cost.

Cheers,

Keith
