Product catalog summary
Product Description
The A4 audio switch series offers a range of high-performance audio selector switches and series type attenuators designed for audiophile applications. These components are built with a PCB-based switch contact system to ensure superior sonic performance.

Main Features
  • Selector switches available in configurations of 1 pole x 12 positions, 2 poles x 6 positions, 3 poles x 4 positions, and 4 poles x 3 positions per wafer.
  • Non-shorting contacts with selectable end stops.
  • Series type attenuators available with up to 8 channels, featuring SMT resistors or non-populated THT versions.
  • Standard impedance values include 600 ohm, 5 k, 10 k, 25 k, 100 k, and 250 k ohm.
  • Customizable options include shafts and concentric construction.

Typical Applications
Ideal for use in mixing desks, outboard studio equipment, home audio, and home theater systems, offering exceptional sonic performance and precise switch feel.

Specifications
  • Indexing resolution: 12 positions (30° indexing) or 24 positions (15° indexing).
  • Switching torque options: 1.5, 4, 8, or 15 Ncm.
  • Rotational life: 25,000 cycles.
  • Contact system: Low-bounce wiper with 3-micron hard gold plated PCB.
  • Electrical load for selector switches: Max. 42 VDC, max. 500 mA.

Ordering Information
Components are available with various configurations and impedance values. The ordering code specifies the number of wafers, switching mode, function, type, and switching torque.

Accessories and Spare Parts
Spare nuts and stop screws are available for purchase.
