The Backtrack is a two channel redundant switcher used for live

performances where backing tracks are being utilized. Should the

primary playback device fail, the Backtrack allows you to quickly and

seamlessly switch over to a backup device; this is done using a switch on

the Backtrack itself, or using an optional remote footswitch.

The primary and backup playback devices can be connected to the

Backtrack via ¼" TRS connectors or 3.5mm jacks that allow easy

connection to the outputs of smartphones, laptops and tablets. Balanced

and transformer isolated XLR outputs are provided to feed the backing

tracks to the PA system with a ground lift to eliminate hum and buzz from

ground loops. The outputs can also be monitored with a pair of powered

speakers by utilizing the ¼" TRS monitor outputs. To silently test each

playback source, a headphone amplifi er is built into the Backtrack, which

includes a separate level control and the ability to listen to input A or B

without affecting the output to the PA.
