The low-profile speaker selector boxes allow you to distribute a stereo amplifier multiple zones. All models include a
manually activated impedance protection circuit that can be turned ON to prevent the impedance presented to your
amplifier from dropping below an unsafe level of 5 Ohm, regardless of the number and impedance ratings of your
speakers. The protector switch can also be turned off when used as part of a planned system of impedance matching
volume controls, allowing you to get most out of your amplifier.

If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor.

Connecting your Speaker Selector

The terminals on the rear of the speaker selector will accommodate up to 14 gauge cable which will suffice for even
long connections (greater than 100 Feet of wire). For shorter distances, 16- or 18-gauge wire will suffice. For
behind-the wall installations, we recommend using UL Class 3 approved cable (marked “CL3”) for compliance with
local building codes. When connecting a speaker and amplifier, it is important to retain the correct polarity. To do this,
be sure that the wire attached to the +. red. or positive terminal on the speaker connects to the +. red, or positive
terminal on the rear of the selector box. Similarly, the -, black, or negative terminal on the speaker must connect to
the respective -, black, or negative terminal on the selector box. Polarity should also be maintained when connecting
your amplifiers output to the input of the selector box.

Connecting Speaker Cables

1. Route the speaker cables from the amplifier and from each speaker zone to the
speaker selector.

2. Strip 3/8" insulation from the end of the cable and twist the exposed end to avoid fraying.

3. Press on a “push-pin” terminal to reveal an eye into which the twisted cable is inserted;
release the terminal to lock.
