The Backtrack is a compact stereo audio switcher, perfect for bands running redundant backing tracks on stage or switching between any stereo audio sources.

For any performance that incorporates backing tracks or other pre-recorded elements, reliability is crucial to ensuring a smooth performance. Unfortunately, smartphone batteries die, laptops freeze up, and Murphy's Law will always apply. The Backtrack creates a redundant system to ensure that you can instantly switch over to a backup device should any problems arise with your primary playback source. This can be accomplished easily with the push of a button on the Backtrack or via a remote JR-2 footswitch, giving you peace of mind and freeing you up to focus on your performance without worry.

Features:
• Dual ¼” TRS and Stereo 3.5mm inputs
• Transformer isolated XLR outputs for the PA
• ¼” TRS monitor outputs to feed powered speakers
• Headphone output with level control

Applications:
• Switch between redundant playback devices on stage
• Seamlessly select backup device should primary playback fail
• Headphones can monitor each source silently for testing

Extras:
• JR-2 input allows remote footswitch control
• Ground lift to eliminate buzz and hum
• Link ¼” output to connect multiple Backtracks
• Can be rack-mounted with SA series rack adaptor
