Embarassing Newbie Switch Question

71.171.90.176

I'm building my first preamp from scratch. All done except putting in switch for input selection. Here I am confused. I decided on a rotary switch to switch 3 stereo sources. On recommendation for low cost decent switch I have this.

a 2 pole 5 position switch (GC 35-377). It has no datasheet.

Is this correct for my purpose? With 3 stereo inputs. how would i wire this switch? It has one pin in the center and 12 pins around the circumference. What pins are in/outs for +/- Source 1, Source 2, Source 3, and what pins are +/- output?

Thanks for any help on what I'm sure seems an ignorant question.

Regards,

Rain Race
