Speaker selectors can be used as a distribution point when multiple speakers are connected to an amplifier. This can reduce wiring clutter and offer a cleaner and more reliable installation. They are also useful for isolating areas of distributed sound. This can permit private listening and prevent disruption to offices or guest and children’s rooms. Beyond these benefits, speaker selectors also help to protect the amplifier from damage by reducing or balancing the load. When it comes to choosing the right speaker selector for your system, feel free to call us with your questions.
WIRING NOTE:
A) 18 gauge wire is the minimum recommended size. For runs in excess of 100 feet it is best to use 16 gauge or larger.
B) Strip 1/4" off each wire. Ensure that all strands are twisted together and inserted into respective terminals. It is best to re-install the wire if stray strands are apparent, though trimming them may also work. (Stray strands can bridge circuits, which can damage the switch and the electronics that are connected to the switch.)
C) Perform an initial functional test at low volume levels to prevent damage to the switch and other electronics.
Always observe the correct polarity (+ to +) and (- to -) for all connections.
