I work in A/V. I frequently need to adjust audio systems.

I want to add a switch to the speaker wire, so I can turn the speaker off, and use the line out port only, in order to test audio systems with a Bluetooth reciver.

I can be at the mixing board, adjusting sliders while the music is playing, with no cables.

Will this work?
