Hi,

I would like to run a stereo audio connection from my HTPC to a Bose SoundDock in another room. I have Cat5 wired in the house and have been looking for a cost effective Balun to do the job. So far I've only been able to find ones that do video as well and all cost $100+.

Can anyone recommend a cheap audio balun?

Thanks in advance.

How's $8.00 each ?

You will need 4, and hopefully handy with a smoldering iron :-)

Or ready made @ Jaycar for $83.00 each:

Does video as well ... you never know, you might just need video as well as audio, one day ...




My thoughts are no longer my own and is probably representative of our media-controlled government
