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.

New home with a variety of rooms pre-wired with speakers. Rather than buy 4 Sonos amps, I used one with the Pyle speaker selection unit and then individually adjusting the volume for each speaker with the option of turning any on or off. Of course, power per channel is reduced along with the speaker impedance as more channels are active but overall the sound is quite good.

Easy installation, well built, not too expensive!

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.

Dead after 4 months.No phone number to call for warranty support. Just an email.Good luck getting a response.

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.

I wanted to be able to listen to two sets of speakers in one room so that I could play simultaneously and then my search had started. I came across the Pyle PSLSW4 and I ordered it. It came quickly and skeptically I unboxed it and then connected it to my Marantz HD1. When I listened to the 4 speakers setting, I was amazed, and my mind was blown. I am very happy I purchased this Speaker Selector from Pyle.
