Yamaha HS80: Using both inputs possible?

[SawdustRecordings]

Hey,

simple question but I couldn't find an answer anywhere. For my setup I need to use both of the inputs of my HS80, cause I'm having too seperate signal sources. (One 5.1 and one stereo source). But of course I won't use them at the same time.
So is it possible to plug all cables in both of the inputs without getting any trouble?

Thanks!

Yes.

Ok, when I plug in cables in both inputs, the volume level reduces about a half. In addition to that, the volume gets PRETTY low sometimes without any reason. After a few seconds (about 30) the volume jumps back up with the sound being distortet for another 3 seconds. This doesn't sound healthy... =/
Whats strange is, that this happens with both monitors at the same time!

The Manual says that you schould not use both inputs at the same time...so i guess this is not a good idea...

Just buy a monitor controller. Even the little Behringer Minimon 800 isn't that bad to be honest.

I use the minimon 800. Bought it cuz it was cheap, and the routing options are nice to have. Haven't noticed any major sound coloration either.

Its a good buy in my eyes.

A simple 2 stereo>-1 stereo switch would do the job for me. But I can't find a good one. Only cheap cinch crap. You know a switch that would fit?
