Abstract: A system and method is introduced to facilitate the handover process of performers who are using digital vinyl systems (DVS). A DVS may be connected to an existing audio setup during the playing of another performer without interrupting the other performer and without disconnecting any connections in the existing audio setup. When the DVS is connected and a handover process is required, a switch is activated to select the DVS as the current active device for use. A DVS may be disconnected from an existing audio setup without interrupting another performer. The system may be implemented as part of an audio device or as a separate stand alone device.
