Although I love the nostalgic look of the LC30, it must be said that the VU meters themselves aren’t all that accurate, you constantly have to adjust them and they do not represent the actual wattage/db levels. They’re more for cosmetics than for actual accurate representation. Having said that, the LC30 is a great amp/speaker switch, and that is where it’s actual usefulness lies for me, the VU meters are more a nostalgic novelty bonus. The build quality is excellent.
If you simply want a neat looking and limited functio switcher, this will do the trick. However, my main reason for passing on this is that when you switch from speaker A to speaker B there is no level adjustment. So, if you are comparing a 97dB speaker to an 89 dB there will be a huge volume difference when you switch. Most people perceive the one that is louder as being "better" which is just not always true. All that needs to be added is level adjustment knobs for each channel and you will have the best unit out there. This allows you to play a test tone and use a dB meter (or perhaps the ones built in) to set the volume of both speakers to the same level. Then, when you switch back and forth you will be hearing just the sound difference, not any volume difference.
Like this works great. Just use it for the looks now. Great product
I totally fell in love! it brings the retro feeling very well, in addition to being useful for quick a/b tests. including the speaker cable test. my review: https://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/fosi-audio-lc30-personal-experiences.129754/
Was looking for a room selector switch. Most everything out there is either cheaply made or overpriced. On top of being well made and solid this one has the cool vintage retro visual appeal. The VU meters can be adjusted and the reported earlier issues of not moving fully have been fixed. Happy so far and would recommend 👍😎
