Customer Review: Good value
Summary: 4 Stars
For non-critical, multi-room, single zone audio, these get the job done and are priced right.
I installed two of these in a home where the previous owner took the amp and switches when they sold. The existing volume controls were non-impedance matching and I didn't perform any measurements, but two of these switches with 11 pairs of speakers enabled presented a manageable load to the 150wpc 2 channel amp allowing hours of continuous use without forcing the amp into thermal shut down.
I should also point out to others that these are impedance matching, not volume matching, they average out the electrical load placed on the amplifier. This is important because if you have different speakers with different sensitivities (dbl/wm), you will end up with different apparent audio levels in different rooms (I should have thought to explain that to this customer before hand).
Description of Monster Cable SS-6 Speaker Switcher for 6 Pairs of Speakers
Many people demand the flexibility and convenience of using multiple speakers throughout the house - even outdoors. If you hook up more than one speaker pair to your amplifier, however, the impedance (ohms) may drop to a dangerously low level, stressing your amp beyond its limits, causing circuitry damage or shutdown. You may avoid this potential nightmare by connecting your speakers to a multiple speaker selector. However, ordinary speaker selectors can also degrade system performance. Although they use a resistor "in series" to protect your amp from low impedance loads, these ordinary inductive resistors can cause noticeable high frequency loss, so you hear less detailed music reproduction. The power rating is often low, potentially damaging your speaker selector if you're using a high current amplifier.Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
