Product Identity

The AVer AS-201 is a compact bi-directional audio switcher designed for home and desktop setups. It routes stereo signals between one source and two outputs, or two sources and one output, using RCA and 3.5 mm connections.

Switching Configuration

The unit operates in a 1×2 or 2×1 topology selected by a front-panel button. This single topology choice decides whether the device solves a source-selection or a distribution problem for the installer.

Fit And Limits

It suits users who need manual, passive switching between analogue stereo devices such as a PC, console or TV without unplugging cables. It does not suit installations that require remote control, automatic switching, digital audio formats or more than three total endpoints.

Questions about this item

How does the 1×2 / 2×1 bi-directional switching work in a real setup?

You can connect one source to two outputs or two sources to one output using the front-panel switch button, letting you route stereo audio between devices without unplugging cables.

What do the RCA and 3.5 mm connections actually limit in practice?

The switcher handles analogue stereo only, so it passes left and right channels through RCA or 3.5 mm jacks but does not support digital audio formats or multi-channel surround.

What space and mounting does the metal chassis need?

The all-metal case measures 70 × 59 × 24 mm and weighs 76.5 g, so it fits on a desk or shelf without brackets and can be moved easily between setups.
