According to such a configuration, the operation mode of the manipulator is switched by the switching operation on the state switching mechanism, and the operation feeling of the manipulator is switched. According to this, it is possible to switch the operation mode and the operation feeling of the operator with a single switching operation. Therefore, the usability of the audio device can be enhanced.
  • the operational feeling switching mechanism is provided for each of the plurality of operators, and the state switching mechanism includes a plurality of A plurality of the operation feeling switching mechanisms may be operated while switching the operation mode of the operator. According to such a configuration, it is possible to switch the operation mode and operational feeling of each of the plurality of operators with a single switching operation. Therefore, the usability of the audio device can be enhanced.
  • the operation feeling switching mechanism has a state in which a click feeling is generated when the manipulator is operated, and a state in which the click feeling is not generated as the operation feeling. You can switch between states. According to such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the usability of the operator, thereby enhancing the usability of the audio device.
  • the state switching mechanism includes a slide operator, and a slide switch that switches the operation mode according to the position of the slide operator. and a slide member slidable together with the slide operator, and the operation feeling switching mechanism may have an engaging portion that engages with the slide member.
  • the operation mode of the operator is switched by the slide switch, and the operator is operated by the operation feeling switching mechanism that engages with the slide member that slides together with the slide operator. Switching of feeling can be implemented. Therefore, the usability of the audio device can be enhanced.
  • the operator is a rotary operator having a rotating body that rotates about a rotating shaft, and the operation feeling switching mechanism is engaged with the rotating body. and a moving member having the engaging portion and moving the engaging member closer to or away from the rotating body as the sliding member slides, wherein the engaging member and one of the rotating bodies may have a projecting portion, and the other of the engaging member and the rotating body may have a fitting portion into which the projecting portion can be fitted.
  • the slide operator by operating the slide operator to slide the slide member, the position where the projecting portion can be fitted to the fitting portion and the position where the projecting portion cannot be fitted to the fitting portion are controlled.
  • the arrangement position of the engaging member can be switched between and.
  • the engaging member When the engaging member is arranged at a position where the protrusion can be fitted into the fitting portion, the protrusion fits into the fitting portion as the rotating body rotates, thereby It is possible to generate a click feeling when rotating, that is, when operating the manipulator. Therefore, it is possible to switch between the case where a click feeling is generated and the case where a click feeling is not generated when the manipulator is operated.
  • a switching member may be provided for switching the position of the contact between a position where the contact is possible and a position where the contact is not allowed to contact the rotating body.
  • the slide member includes a first slide member that engages with the slide operator, and the first slide member that is slidable along the slide direction of the first slide member. a second slide member provided on a member; and a biasing member biasing the second slide member toward the first slide member, wherein the switching member is engaged with the second slide member; It may be a lever member that rotates with the sliding movement of the second slide member to switch the position of the contactor. According to such a configuration, the second slide member engaged with the switching member, which is a lever member, slides with respect to the first slide member, so that the position of the switching member and the position of the slide member are appropriate due to tolerances and the like.
  • the tolerance tends to accumulate and increase as the number of parts increases. positional error increases.
  • the tolerance of each member such as the switching member and the slide member can be absorbed. Since the biasing member biases the second slide member toward the first slide member, the second slide member can be maintained at an appropriate position.
