Review on Switch Switcher Composite Selector Consoles by Russ Charmin

It does exactly what it promises, allows the user to switch from one signal path to another. It's lightweight but equipped with sturdy switches and rubber grips. Pros: 1. Bidirectional, you can set it up to accept input and have two output options or vice versa. (This is the advantage of a non-powered device) 2. Durable metal body3. No power supply (requires no power supply) Cons: 1. Light weight, cables on the back can prevent the device from being flush. (Something that is not a problem in the 8-port version)2. Without power (does not amplify the signals coming from it). Bottom line: This unit comes in handy if you're missing the RCA connectors or, like me, need to switch between two output monitors. The lack of a powered design is both beneficial and detrimental as it changes the usefulness of a signal booster to one that can move the signal in any direction the user desires. Personally, I find the low weight to be a hindrance and also that once installed it is not suitable for flush mounting. Overall, though, I'd highly recommend it, or at most its 8-port siblings, as they're extremely useful in any legacy AV setup.
