Fosi Audio LC30 VU Meter Amplifier Speaker Selector Switch Box Audio Visualizer 2 In 2 Out Vintage Switcher for High Power Stereo Class A, B, AB, D, Tube Amps Home Audio Component Remote Control-Black

If you are one of those weird audiophile types that has multiples of EVERYTHING, you need at least one of these. I am one of those weirdos. I have 4 variations of this and this one is my favorite. I am always comparing different amps and speakers. This lets you do it via remote control and stay seated in your listening position. If works well, its easy to use and setup, and looks good. At the price, it is a good value. It is a little bigger than some of the others, but I like the look so that was a plus for me.

This speaker/amp switch is the genius device I never knew I needed. I bought it after my home theater separates went kaput. I decided to build around a Cambridge EXA-100 integrated amp and add in a home theater receiver. I maintained my original GoldenEar front speakers which I love. The LC-30 makes it so easy to switch between theater and two channel while maintaining the excellent performance of all devices connected. The LC-30 introduces no changes to the sound of either set up. And while the meters don't appear to be calibrated, they add a fun vintage look to an otherwise thoroughly modern system.

I own a number of Fosi products and this switch was a unique Fosi customer experience in that I did NOT love it, and I returned it. PROS: As usual with Fosi, the construction quality is great and the switch functions work perfectly without introducing any discernible noise or diminution of volume. The remote control is convenient. CONS: I was disappointed that the unit does not pass through signal when powered off. I wrongly assumed that the parts of the unit that drew power would be confined to the VU meters and lights, but that is not the case. I wanted the switch to toggle between the output of an AVR and a WiiM Amp Ultra, and I hoped that when I was done listening to music through The WiiM, I could simple park the switch in the AVR position and turn it off, so that when my partner later watches television she would not have to deal with an extra remote, and so that I would not have to leave the switch powered on 24/7 to make that happen. If the switch is powered on, you can turn off the lights on the VU's, but not the status lights. I have a media room that is on the smaller end of medium size, and the needles on the meters can not be seen across the room from the listening area. I do find old school VU meters cool, but only if I can see them. And (obviously), it is rather expensive for something that is simply a switching unit. It is ironic that Fosi sells many preamps and power amps with very high quality components in the circuitry that retail at lower prices. I am the extremely happy owner of several of them. Your mileage may vary, you may love it for your purposes. But for me this was not the right fit.

The build quality is amazing, it’s solid and realize to look at. Remote is handy. Being able to adjust the sensitivity using the remote would be a nice plus as the needle response varies greatly with input level. A very nice addition to an analog system.

I needed a switch to switch between two receivers and one set of stereo speakers. I have a high quality (Outlaw Audio RR2150) that I want to use for music and primarily for listening to vinyl records. I have a Marantz AV receiver for movies and gaming. I could have used a number of switch devices to do this but went with this one because it does this AND it looks great. Let's face it, we like the looks as well as the sound of quality Hi-Fi equipment. The build is pretty high quality with good quality binding posts. As others have pointed out, the meters don't really provide any real purpose but they do 'work'. The switch neither adds or subtracts from the source so it's a win for me. Would be a 5 star if the meters were logarithmic and could be switched to fast or slow response but this, to me, is a nit.

The meters only work if you want to get up and continuously adjust the sensitivity with the dial as the volume is what moves the meter. The remote will not do this for you. I bought this for the meters as I love the visual, but they do not work in a matter I think all of the folks that purchased this would have anticipated. I left an extra star because it functions well as a switcher alone.

I love the way this product looks in my system. I wish I could leave it plugged in all of the time, but I keep moving my equipment around and I haven't settled on a permanent setup. The solutions works great and I don't notice it's presence in/out of my setup. To my ears it's truly pass through with little effect on the results. You can get a clear A/B comparison between speakers or amps depending on what you connect to it. it's a great way to switch from 2 channel audio to home theater which is what I typically use it for.

So far , it was great with the FOSI BT20 A pro, but I want to use individual amps. But an all around good meter

Super sprzęt... Polecam

Buen aparato, tiene cierta calidad y cumple se función.

Ayuda a calibrar los sonidos de varias canciones para que los escuches adecuadamente. No tiene volumen ni controla el sonido de ninguna forma Embellece tu sistema Ayuda a switchar dos pares de bocinas diferentes con uno o dos amplificadores No tiene A+B solo un par de bocinas a la vez Utiliza plugs de banana NO de RCA No trae convertidor o cajita de 5V solo el cable usa la de cualquier celular El cable de poder es bastante largo Es hipnotizador

Im trying this as an alternative to my fully manual point to point amplifier switcher, and i have to say, its nice to have a unit that doesn't occasionally require the wiggling of a toggle switch. I didn't believe I'd have any urge to use the remote functions either, but once activated, I love having it. I use it between a nice little amp in a 2 channel system, and an audio video receiver. Its quite heavy for its size and solidly built.

Ho avuto bisogno di contattare la FOSI AUDIO per assistenza del VU-METER LC30 NERO, devo dire che mi sono trovata molto bene. Personale disponibile e attento al mio problema, che e' stato risolto con la sostituzione del prodotto. Arrivato in poco tempo, tolto il vecchio e messo il nuovo (aiutata da un conoscente per i collegamenti)...funziona tutto bene. Che dire della FOSI AUDIO?....la consiglio alla grande ricomprerei i loro prodotti. Ringrazio le persone che sono stata a contatto per essere state comprensive nei miei riguardi.
