Hello All,
I am working on an automation project where I am attempting to automatically move sound (switch audio speakers) from set to set. The attraction has a central control system (PLC) that evaluates thru beam sensors, that when triggered, switch relays to turn on appropriate lighting, trigger various props, and select/play audio from digital audio repeater. Because cost is an issue, I would like to be able to switch a single amplified signal between multiple passive speakers or if necessary, the line level from a single audio repeater between a variety of amplified speakers.
Does anyone here have experience with this type of application? And if so, would you be willing to share your thoughts?
I am planning on using solid state relays for switching, but some initial testing has produced audio "popping" sound when switch occurs -even when line level is switched. My next thought is to switch amplifier off before switching line level input, but this seems overly complex. Hopefully, I have explained this clearly.
Thanks in advance for your help!
