The Extron MLS 100 A is a compact four-input stereo audio switcher designed for professional AV installations requiring simple yet flexible audio source selection and mixing. It switches between four unbalanced stereo audio inputs while featuring an always-active auxiliary mono line level input (balanced or unbalanced) that mixes with any selected source, allowing seamless integration of microphones, ambient audio, or additional program material. Front panel buttons provide direct input selection and volume adjustment, with gain/attenuation control ensuring optimal signal levels for consistent output.

Housed in a durable 1U, quarter rack width metal enclosure, the switcher supports balanced or unbalanced stereo output and integrates effortlessly into control ecosystems. It offers multiple control methods including RS-232 serial, front panel operation, or compatibility with Extron TouchLink Control Systems and MediaLink Controllers for centralized management in classroom, boardroom, or presentation setups.

This switcher excels in environments needing reliable audio routing without complex video switching, such as podiums, lecterns, conference tables, or under-desk mounting. It pairs well with Extron MediaLink systems, projectors, amplifiers, and other AV components for enhanced presentation audio control.
