hello, I am a novice in electronics with a bit of playing around with arduino etc, more a software developer..
I want to build an audio matrix switcher that can switch 1 input to 1 or more (zone) outputs. I've had a Google around and come across the tea6420 ic but very little about it other than people like me trying to get answers on if it is the right chip for the job.
Other suggestions say use 16 double pole relays but if one $3 chip can do th job, 16 relays seems a bit overkill .. People also saying relays 'click' when switching audio
I'm ok with arduino/wifi/software side but just don't know best way to tackle the audio circuit. I can't seem to find anyone that can confirm the tea6420 can do one to many switching, and not sure if I would need other electronics on each side of the chip to maintain the audio signal/quality? I've never dealt with audio electronics before..
Any feedback very much appreciated!!
Looks like this guy wants to do same thing but no replies .. http://www.edaboard.com/thread281691.html
