I got really excited thinking that the <a href="http://www.sounddevices.com/products/hx3master.htm" rel="nofollow">HX-3</a> would do the trick, but I need 4 input (two stereo ones). </p> <p>Any suggestions as to what cheap-ish but good quality device would work? Thanks so much! </p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/4586/monitoring-two-recorders-with-one-pair-of-headphones/4587#4587 Answer by tim prebble for Monitoring two recorders with one pair of headphones tim prebble 2010-11-16T22:38:00Z 2010-11-16T22:38:00Z <p>I'm in the same boat with 744 + 722 - the 744 lets me switch between inputs 1+2 and 3+4, but I've been physically unplugging &amp; replugging to check between recorders, which is not ideal - there must be a DIY solution?</p> <p>I googled &amp; someone asked the same question on MeFi <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/167454/Can-I-use-one-set-of-headphones-for-two-audio-sources" rel="nofollow">http://ask.metafilter.com/167454/Can-I-use-one-set-of-headphones-for-two-audio-sources</a></p> <p>A cheap solution: 3 in 1 out headphone selector for US$16 <a href="http://gadget.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00326" rel="nofollow">http://gadget.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00326</a></p>
