Introduction
The NX-AB2 is a stereo (two channel), dual source selector switch that allows a single pair of speakers to be switched between two amplifier
sources or a single amplifier output to be switched between two pairs of speakers.
The NX-AB2 is ideal for situations where one pair of speakers shares two amplifier sources. For example, a pair of speakers located in a living
room that are also used as home theater speakers. The speakers connect to a remote amplifier for background music and can be switched to
connect to the home theater amplifier when watching a movie.
The NX-AB2 can also be used in situations wher
different areas of the home. For example, one amplifier’s output could be switched between a set of
outdoor speakers and another set of indoor speakers.
