It is Bi Directional!
Wanted to run a single RCA out from my DAC into the Tenealay and split the signal into two RCA outputs (one RCA input into my Aiyima A07 amp and another RCA input into a Saiyin soundbar via an RCA male to 3.5mm input). Then use the A/B toggle selector on the Tenealay to switch back and forth between the Aiyima amp for when I want to relax and listen to my cd collection or to the soundbar for casual tv listening. Took a chance on the Tenealay preamp because my configuration of running one input into the Tenealay then to two outputs is the OPPOSITE of what it is advertised to do (two RCA input, one RCA output). There is no mention of it being able to reverse the signal flow chain or bi directional. Well...I crossed my fingers and ordered the Tenealay preamp due to it being a passive design and just 22 dollars and change. The RCA output on the Tenealay was used as an input from my DAC. I hooked up two RCA cables into the Tenealay RCA dual inputs to use as outputs to my Aiyima amp and the Saiyin soundbar. People I want to tell you it works like a charm! I am now able to toggle between my amp and the soundbar. There is NO HUM or extracurricular noises like buzzes or hiss. Also there are no sound anomalies that I can audibly hear when listening to my favorite cd's. If you're looking for an inexpensive, simple and compact 1 RCA input 2 RCA output selector switch box the Tenealay FV2 is the ticket. People I hope this helps.

Clean smooth sound
Perfect sound. Clean signal. Smooth rotating volume attenuator. Solid build. Everything I was looking for in a passively volume control.

Splitter, not amp.
In effect, this is a signal splitter into two stereo channels. I does it with no noise added. What, though, is a “passive amp?”

A very cost effective way to move your volume know up front
I bought some bookshelf speakers (Magnat) that have the volume in the back. This (effectively) moves that knob to the front where it's much more useful. There's a few caveats to this setup though. It's not atru volume control, it simply lowers the maximum volume. That means you have to crank your speakers to a higher level and then use this to tune it back down. I say this because I noticed extra noise from the speakers because of it. It's definitely not a dealbreaker because 3 feet away, you can't hear the extra noise when it's quiet, and when it's loud, the quality is still good. The size is on the smaller side, but it's completely useable. It's aluminum housed so it doesn't look cheap. I set it up in two minutes. Invest in a good quality short RCA cable though (Amazon Basics is decent for the price).

Read the review.
I am using this to split a signal from my AT-3XBT record player to my Edifier RT1700 powered speakers and T5 sub woofer. The RT1700's do not have a sub out so this is a great work around for having one volume knob control the sound.

Cheap, poorly made
Very inexpensive, and the construction shows it. The first time I removed an RCA cable, the entire connector came out of the body of the device. It was not even soldered in. I have been using Schitt Sys for this type of switching requirement, but they have been hard to find lately. Schitt just restocked, so I snagged a couple. They are four times the quality for two times the price.

Dead Silent - Buy This Audio Switcher - It’s a Bargain
I have a Schiit SYS in another setup. This for $22 is an absolute steal. Dead silent and hue, the switch toggles from a Vintage Yamaha T1 tuner to a Vintage JVC KD-D4 cassette deck. Size is perfect and the function is perfect as well. Funny to have a piece of audio gear you can’t hear…. If you need a switch, buy this!

Works with Audio Technica AT-SP3X
This worked great with my Audio Technica AT-LP70XBT-BZ and Audio Technica AT-SP3X Powered Bookshelf Speakers.

Simple and effective passive pre amplifier
Initial impressions were that it is smaller than expected and better looking, the pictures do not quite do it justice. The volume control has weight to it and feels the same as the RK27 alps pots I have in other equipment. The knob and case are aluminium and the whole unit is heavy enough that it does not move when you turn the knob, nor is it pulled by long cables. On connecting it I noticed that it has decent gold plated RCA plugs. On listening (ifi DAC, Adam active monitor speakers) I do not notice that it is there, which is how a passive pre amplifier should be. The channel matching is pretty good and it introduces no noise. If, like myself, you have active monitors which need a volume control (mine do, but on the back of each speaker, which isn't convenient) I fully recommend. It arrived early and well packaged.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent passive switch – clean sound and very easy to use
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent passive switch for DJ and studio monitoring setups. This passive RCA preamp and A/B switch is a fantastic addition to a DJ or studio monitoring setup. It allows clean, instant switching between sources or speakers with no added noise, hiss, or signal coloration, which is exactly what you want when monitoring accurately. The passive volume control is smooth and precise, making it easy to match levels between sources without affecting sound quality. Switching is silent and reliable, with no pops or interference — perfect for quick A/B comparisons or routing audio between monitors and secondary speakers. Build quality feels solid and professional, and the fact that it requires no power is a big plus for a clean, minimal setup. It worked perfectly straight out of the box and integrates seamlessly into a desktop or studio environment. Overall, an excellent value piece of gear for DJs, producers, or anyone needing transparent audio switching and level control. Highly recommended.

Simple. It only does a couple of things, and it does them well.
Does exactly what I need it to do! It attenuates the signal between my DAC/Amp that does not have volume control, into my powered speakers without any distortion whatsoever. The signal source switching is incredibly convenient too! The source switching is silent, it doesn't create any clicking or popping sounds in my speakers, and adjusting the volume is silent too. Since it doesn't need power, this can pretty much be anywhere on my desk. This is as simple and straightforward as it gets. I'm super happy, especially for the price!
