This stereo speaker selector allows you to connect and control up to 4 pairs of speakers and delivers 40W RMS power per channel.
Q: Can you select more than one pair of speakers at the same time?
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.
Q: What size receiver or amplifier is suggested?
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.
A: This is a speaker selector, and would not replace the need for a receiver. You could use it in addition to a receiver.
A: 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.
Q: the hookups
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.
Q: cracking and popping in speaker
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.
A: Unfortunately, this only takes in a stereo signal and allows switching between four different pairs of speakers. You can however choose to play from all speakers at once... Not advised unless the built-in protection is activated. Then, the splitter will only supply 40W RMS to each 16 channels.
