Heritage Audio Releases SYNTH BUDDY

Heritage Audio has announced availability of SYNTH BUDDY which they describe as the world's first desktop 10 to 1 reversible and fully passive stereo switch. They say that it is a cost-effective, essential studio solution for seamlessly connecting up to 10 stereo (or 20 mono) line level sources, such as synths, drum machines, or samplers, and toggling between them with the twist of a knob. Here's more details in their own words...

It is fair to say that anyone who has ever dreamed about an inexpensive solution to help have multiple synths, drum machines, samplers, and other line level instruments connected and available with the twist of a knob can wake up and smell the coffee, courtesy of Heritage Audio's SYNTH BUDDY. Indeed, its top panel-positioned 10 x1 STEREO PASSIVE SELECTOR wording gives the game away as it is possible to seamlessly connect 10 stereo (or 20 mono) line level sources to its 10 stereo/20 mono TS jack inputs and toggle between them with the twist of a knob (outputting via one stereo/two mono TS jacks) -- simple as that! Talk about a dream becoming reality. And an all-passive design ensures crystal-clear line level signals with no added colouration -- straight from the user's musical mind to the song with no power source needed.

Needless to say, when creativity hits, there is no time for plugging in cables and switching gear. After all, many have experienced the creativity-killing scenario of having a great musical idea seemingly arrive out of nowhere, only for it to disappear by the time everything is set up and ready to record; no such worries when working with SYNTH BUDDY, of course, since everything is connected and available at the twist of a knob.

It is even possible to use SYNTH BUDDY 'backwards' by turning it into a one-input/10-output selector, so users can, for example, easily run one guitar or bass into several amps or effects -- applications are (almost) endless! Either way, SYNTH BUDDY is built like a tank with an elegant desktop design -- measuring merely 190mm (W) x 105mm (D) x 80mm (H) while weighing in at only 988g -- that lends itself to studio or stage usage... and all without breaking the bank!

Pricing and Availability:
SYNTH BUDDY is shipping and available via Heritage Audio's global network of dealers at €199.00 EUR (including VAT) in the EU and $199.00 USD, US distribution being handled via RAD Distribution.
