How do I wire two channels to one speaker?

Posted by admin on July 29th, 2010 and filed under speaker | 1 Comment »

Is there a way a single earphone speaker can play two audio signals by soldering wires from said audio signals to the speaker?

I am working with small headset parts with each module having two wires (ground and channel I believe). I need the speaker to be able to play audio from two different devices. It’d like the soldering option as I need to conserve as much space as I can.

You can’t do that. You will be shorting out the amplifier outputs. You need to go with an A/B switch which allows you to switch back and forth between the two sources.
