Pyle 4 Channel Speaker Selector Switch - Multi Zone A B Speaker Distribution Controller Box w/Independent Audio Source Volume Control, Supports Home Theater Stereo Amplifier Receiver System - PSLSW4

I have the PSLSW4 4-zone speaker controller but they also make a 6-zone controller.I have this mounted on my covered patio and it is fed from a Bluesound Node audio streamer and a Fosi Audio TB10D amplifier.My Fosi amplifier puts out about 100watts a channel at 8ohms with the upgraded power supply. The Pyle speaker selector will accommodate 2 separate input devices. A or B so you could have different sounds playing in different zones. I am only using zone A. The preferred zone is selected with a switch adjacent to each volume control. It is either A or B but to turn off individual zones to be OFF, you must rotate the volume knob to OFF. The volume knob click into each volume level - it is not a smooth rotating dial but it works fine. There is no crackle or pop when moving the volume control knob. the back of the unit has plenty of room to connect the speaker wire either directly or using a banana plug. There is no balance control for right to left channel adjustments.I am feeding 2 sets of patio speakers and 2 sets of rock speakers out in the yard and all are fed with 14awg wire. All my speakers are 8ohms. My speakers sound fine and they get loud enough for adequate sound. This is an outdoor background sound system and it won't sound like a rock concert in your backyard.Make sure your amplifier is stable down to 2ohms if you will be playing all 4 speakers simultaneously. If only one speaker is ON it will see an 8ohm load on your amplifier. If any 2 speakers are ON, your amplifier will see a 4ohm load. If any 3 speakers are ON your amplifier will see a 3.1ohm load.The Fosi class D amplifier I am using is rated from 2 to 8ohms.This switch can handle up to 100watts RMS input with 18watts RMS output per speaker output.This switch is passive so it doesn't require any power source.

This passive speaker select/volume controller fit exactly what I needed. I have a multi input amplified mixer that directly feeds a set of monitor speakers for my drums, and a Bose L1B2 that I use vocals, and Bass fed through the headphone jack during band practice. I kept having to disconnect my speaker cables during band practice because The mixer would not allow the speakers to be reduced in volume and still generate enough output for the Bose. This Pyle unit has 4 speaker controls which is overkill for me, but the volume control works amazing, and if needed a simple button disconnects all speakers. A little bigger than I needed space wise, but works amazing.

Easy installation, well built, not too expensive!

Solid design. Sturdy. Banana plug acceptable. Not too distinct a drop in quality as each channel is added. Neat design: volume knobs click as you turn them. Two separate amp inputs, allowing for two different devices to send signals to speakers. All four channels can be selected. Also allows for different volumes in different rooms. Would recommend it to anyone who is looking to add speakers to other rooms in their house, bar, business, etc.

I have a 5.1 system inside and 2 speakers outside. This is a 4 speaker pair setup which you would think is perfect... well no... only has 2 inputs. So this means front speakers on one channel, 2 inside and 2 outside (Button A). Surround on #3 channel (Button B.) Boom... done. BUT... have sub woofer and center channel so need to unplug subwoofer and ensure that center channel is not on. Had to buy remote transmitter/receiver for outside sub. It works good. I do not believe sound quality has been compromised. I cannot hear any difference when I have everything turned on vs. just inside or just outside.This would be perfect for 2 channel systems with 1 amp or 2 amps or 4 channel system and 1 amp. I could not find a 5.1 system for under a ton and 1/2 of money!

I bought this switch to control the volume on four sets of speakers individually. I paired it with a Pyle PDA29BU.5 amplifier connected to the outputs of a Sonos Connect: amp So, the Pyle amp is providing the primary volume control to the switch (which is passive, or unpowered). The pots on each of the four channels on the switch give me volume control of each set of speakers. Note: the four sets of speakers are two and three-way bookshelf speakers. So, I can't comment on how well the amp or the switch would drive monster speakers. But, for my set-up, it's exactly what I needed.

Very disappointing. Hooked up and it only worked for approximately 8 hours all together. Working with manufacturers direct. They want us to send back for repair. Sent paperwork work to them via email for proof of purchase through Amazon, didn’t hear back for 2 - 3 days, called again and they said they never received the email with the attachment, sent to them again while on the phone with them, they confirmed they received email this time and would send us the address in New York for sending the Pyle Splitter back - still waiting. Will never purchase an electronic product from this company again.

I have a nice receiver/amp with 2-Channel input/output. I needed a Speaker Selector Switch to control 4 discrete listening zones from the two different inputs. The Pyle PSLSW4 Multi-Zone Speaker Selector System is just what I wanted. The unit was incredibly packaged which is a good indication of the quality of it's contents. The unit was easy to install especially with the Sewell SW-29863 Deadbolt Banana Plugs (also purchased from Amazon). Once connected it was very easy to adjust the volume to the front and rear ceiling speakers in our great room to extract the best stereo affect. When entertaining we can have lower volume inside and more volume outside on the pool deck. Really improves our flexibility for entertainment. It is not an Amplifier so your Receiver/Amplifier needs sufficient power to drive all of your speakers.
