5.1 A/B switch - XLR - where?

Can anyone recommend a (sonically transparent) 5.1 A/B switch with XLR connects?

To elaborate, I wish an A/B switch with two sets of (5.1) inputs & one set of (5.1) outputs - utilizing XLR/balanced connects. I can't seem to find anything suitable via the obvious search methods.
TIA!

Shalco Switch

These guys can make a custom switch for you then buy some XLR panel jacks and make your own. You'd need a 12 pole switch with 2 positions.

Best of luck

More than you need and probably more than you want to pay, however this Model 7299 Eight-Channel XLR Audio A/B/C Switch looks like it will definitely do what you are asking for, and have capability for up to 7.1 A/B/C switching.

Thanks Tls49 - it's actually cheaper than the $5k I've seen quoted for the now defunct EMM Switchman's - but still more than I wanted to pay...

Are RCA/Unbalanced switches any more available/affordable?
