Looking for switch

Tex Mexico

Hi guys,
I'm adding a sub to my monitoring and it will have a footswitchable defeat. I could get basically any latching footswitch but I would really prefer to have it on my desk next to my monitor controller, and crucially rather than a footswitch button I'd rather have a toggle.

So my question is, is there on the market a box with a single on/off toggle switch and a 1/4" jack connection?

I know I could just build one but frankly I'm a bit shit at that kind of thing and it would be cool to support a small builder if I can.

How about a remote controlled mains for the sub? So you can turn it on/off as needed.

The way powered subs work is they receive the main stereo feed and output a high-passed signal to the stereo pair. So killing the power to the sub would cut the audio to the stereo pair.

Many powered subs have a switchable defeat that cuts the sub and turns off the high-pass filter, restoring full frequency to the stereo pair. This is so you can easily switch between 2.1 and 2.0 monitoring.

This being said I have just found a deal I couldn't refuse on a sub that doesn't have a switchable defeat, so I won't be requiring a switch after all.

Thanks for your input though.

Makes sense.

Good to hear that you have found a solution in any case.
