Hi,
I'm trying to create a box that allows me to select which audio components input to my speakers. I have a 3 pole 4 position rotary switch and 5 female 3.5mm stereo jacks. 4 of these jacks are for input devices the other is for output to an amp.
My issue is I have no idea how to hook up the 3 pole 4 position rotary switch. It has 3 leads in the center labeled "A", "B", and "C". Around these middle leads there are 15 other leads that are labeled 1-15. I have no idea how to hook this up so i can switch between the 4 inputs.
Also I am concerned because when the female jacks are directly connected to each other and I have an ipod hooked up to one and headphones hooked up to the other I do not get stereo sound... I can only hear music in one of my earbuds. I am certain that these jacks are stereo, but I don't know how to make them work that way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
