i'm looking for advice

i would like to direct the output from my iMac to several different amps, speakers, and headphones. it would be great if i had faders on each one, but a simple on/off switch for each output and a single fader would do.

right now i just unplug and replug wires to do it, but there must be a better way.

any suggestions?

thanks

is this for listening in other areas of the house/yard or just to hear sound through different sources in your studio?

I use a little 4 channel headphone amp to run a stereo signal out to different speaker sets for monitoring and my headphones.

I use one of these headphone amps.http://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-amp-800-headphone-amp/1177

Line-out from the imac to the headphone amp then that gives you 4 stereo outputs + headphone monitoring. Just press the mute button to mute the output to your speakers so you can monitor acoustic recordings via headphones.
