Hi,

I have a Mac Mini , latest base spec. I have bought some monitor speakers for music production. I plug the speakers into the headphone socket on the mini and it works fine. Only problem is , what if i want to listen to the music on headphones. The speakers don't have a headphone socket and its a pain to keep plugging and unplugging/swapping wires.

Any idea on how to do this?

Basically i want the speakers to be connected all the time but have a headphone socket at reach in front of me

Matt

Music Production? Seems like you might also want a place to plug in a microphone or guitar or whatever as well as headphones.

Also I think you will find you need separate volume controls for the speakers and headphones

This will let you connect a few different audio devices.

There are others like this by companies like Presonus and Lexington. Check out the above web site.

You could always plug your headphones in via a usb adapter, and switch the output via the mac (Alt and click the speaker icon in menubar)
