USING THE CHERRY PICKER FOR LINE LEVEL DEVICES
The Cherry Picker is basically a straight-wire audio router that uses sealed gold contact
relays to switch the signal. These relays do not impart any personality or noise, nor are they
limited to the signal levels normally associated with audio electronics. This means that the
Cherry Picker can also be used to process higher output line-level analog signals without fear
of distortion or coloration.
DAW
In the studio, you could use the Cherry Picker to compare the sound of various compressors
or use it to route balanced signals to various effects. In commercial installations, it could be
used to send a mic signal to an alternate console or zone. This of course opens the door to
using the Cherry Picker in all types of applications.
