A:
This unit will support multiple zone use, you can activate up to all 4 zones. Because this is a passive device, it will not boost the strength, so each zone active may reduce the overall signal.by

Q:
I will be running a total of eight speakers, 2-Polk Atrium 4 on an upper deck, 2-Insignia NS-SP213 in my den and 4-Polk MC80 in ceiling over my patio all with 8 Ohm ea. I will be running all in conjunction with a Mac Pro which has bluetooth. However, I will not be utilizing any more than four speakers at any given time. Do I need an amplifier or a receiver? How many watts are suggested for such and are there any other requirements that I would I need to consider so as to safely use my SSVC$ selector. The folks at Best Buy weren't so helpful or forthcoming in this regard. Thanksby

Answers
A:
This really depends on how loud you want your music to be. My first thought is to use a 1,000 watt amplifier and run higher power line transformers such as Lowell TLM10070A High Performance 100W, 70V. You can go down to lower taps such as 32 watts or lower like 10 but 10 would be really just for doctor's office type background music.There are more receivers now-a-days that can distribute power to multiple zones as well. But do be careful as most of the multiple zone receivers will still require you to have a separate amp. Most of the multi-zone receivers are only giving you extra "pre-amp" outputs which are no more than RCA output jacks to connect to another amp or receiver...

A:
When using two zones and the protection circuit not engaged the maximum amplifier power is 120 watts/channel.If you are going to use more than 2 zones at a time the protection circuit will need to be engaged and the maximum amplifier power is then 40 watts/channel.

Q:
We currently have a similar device, but the wires plug directly into little holes so eventually, the wires get all buggered up and do not connect well. Does this device come with some sort of clamp-on plug we can put on the wires so that they will plug in more cleanly? (similar to the "Y" or "O" type end you clamp on a wire for the hookup...only this would have a plug on it)by

Answers
A:
For connecting speakers to this device, you do plug a short, stripped ind of the wire directly into the back of the device. There is a mechanism that is pulled down when putting the wire in and, when released, clamps down onto the inserted wire to hold it in place.by

Answers
A:
Have you checked the polarity? Make sure that your polarity is correct and that you are using a heavier gauge of wire. You may also want to run an AC line filter or use a power conditioner.by

If you've tested multiple speakers with the same results, then I would recommend bringing this item, along with your receipt, back to the place of purchase. This item has a 1 year manufacturer's coverage.by

This is a speaker selector, and would not replace the need for a receiver. You could use it in addition to a receiver.6 years, 10 months ago

This is an electronic device. I have had several of them, if a single zone doesn't work, the item is defective and useless. There is no fixing this item unless you are an electronic technician. I would take it back and get another one or my money back.6 years, 10 months ago

No7 years, 11 months ago
A:
If the speaker selector is getting hot, odds are you have way too much resistance and/or power running through the selector. Be sure to read the specifications of resistance (ohms) and how much power it can handle and cross reference with the speakers and Amplifier that you are using.8 years, 8 months ago
