Chapter : Introduction Use with Audio Precision switchers The characteristics of the Audio Precision SWR-2122 or SWR-2755 series switchers are completely compatible with the AUX-0025/0040/0100. The appropriate balanced or unbalanced switcher can be used to automatically switch the filter / instrument inputs among several DUTs.
