No I mean you used the term "slave".
I was joking, should have added a smiley.
Sorry!

I have been using a basic RCA switcher from the local dollar store for years. This is simply a mechanical switch. It works perfectly. In my application I have a spdif connection feeding an outboard Lexicon reverb, flick the switch and it is connected to an outboard mic pre. This is very simple and no serious money needs to be spent to get it to work. In my case $1.50 Canadian. Bertkoor is correct. - Scotty

Yes, for a simple A/B or A/B/C mechanical selector switch, the cheap RCA types should do the trick.
If needing to send & distribute one signal to several receiving devices at the same time, you'll need some electronics...distribution amplification so that each of several outputs are exactly the same.
If needing to switch between which one of several devices are to be the sending unit, and one or several devices that you need to receive, you'll then need a router or matrix switcher...which also has distribution amplification circuitry.
There are actually MANY devices available for each of the above 3 needed scenario's. Even the more elaborate solutions can be affordable if bought used, as was my matrix switcher.
