Never Miss a Deal.

This piece is a great value for dollars unit. I will use it again.

PROS: I'm using it as a distribution block as each set of speakers has a Monoprice slider volume control (8245). All the zones stay on all the time. It keeps the load to the amp correct and that's what I wanted. Works great as does almost everything from Monoprice!

CONS: Speaker connections are the kind you tighten with a very small screwdriver that I never seam to have. Also wire over about 14 gauge would be hard to fit in the speaker connections.

Overall, I like the way the unit is constructed and designed to run single or multiple speakers with an impedence protection option.

PROS: Folks, this is a very well made speaker selector. The manufacture used quality steel and not plastic for the case.

CONS: The binding posts on the rear of the unit are the spring-hinge type and not post. This prevents the use of banana plugs from being used on the wire tips.

This is an excellent product for the money. Installed with zone2 from amp to speakers in 6 different rooms in the basement. In each room, installed a volume control (PID 8242) and a speaker (PID 4100). Set-up allows me to pipe sound in any room either individually or as many as I like. Sound is great! Love the ability to control the volume in each room and the speakers are so much better than I expected for the price paid.

Would recommend each of the three products mention above and definitely would buy again if had to do over!!!!

PROS: Great quality product for the money.
In robust casing.

CONS: Would have like to use banana plugs on the back.

Easy to set up. Selects one or multiple speakers with a press of the selector switch. Just what I needed to finish my basic audio center for the whole house.

PROS: Easy setup. Works great.

CONS: None yet.

This is a very good piece of equipment that very affordable and operates as advertised. I could not be more satisfied!

PROS: Sleek design, well built, and very affordable.

CONS: None.

I bought one for my house. At the price points, i opted for the 6 over the 4 speaker selector. I only needed 4 but for a couple bucks more, i figured a couple open spots for future expansion made the most sense.



My sister called and told me the unit we had put in her house 12 years ago (monster branded) wasn't working right. I ordered a second one of the 6 speaker selector for her. I was that pleased with mine, that without hesitation bought another for my sister. I've had mine for a year or so without issue. We will see the long term life.

I am running this with one of the zones on my Onkyo TX-8255, passing through to 3 pairs of Monoprice 8" in ceiling speakers (4104) and it all works great.

Why did I buy the six instead of the 4four channel? It's what was available at the time, and it works great for me!

PROS: Price

I actually had a twelve channel selector installed that gave me problems from the start. It did not match impedance as advertised and would overheat my amp. After a severe storm it went out. Instead of buying another expensive 12 zone selector I thought I'd try this one because I wasn't using all the zones anyway. I connected it and right away it didn't sound right. After troubleshooting I discovered that there was a water leak and one of my volume controllers was full of water! I thought I had fried this selector,but to my surprise after repairing the leak and replacing the controller I was up and running and haven't had a problem since!

PROS: A lot less expensive than other units of similar quality.

CONS: None

This item was just what I needed. Priced right and delivered on time! I would recommend it to others!

BEST BUY IN ALL MY RESERCH -I RECOMMEND IT AND THE COMPANY

PROS: WORKS GREAT - JUST WHAT I NEEDED - GREAT PRICE- CAME ON TIME- EASY INSTALL

CONS: HOWARD HONG DIDN'T COME WITH IT TO DO THE INSTALL

5/5

PROS: Worked great

Works great. Easy to hook-up and the price was very good.

PROS: Easy to hook up
Easy to operate
Looks great & works great

CONS: 3 labels of each room, I needed 4.

I am only using 2 channels right now. I got the 6 channel because of the price and for the possibility of future expansion.

PROS: Simple to install, just hook the inputs up and the outputs.

CONS: none.

Very good item and you can not beat the price works real well no problems so far also did not affected the speakers
Performance I recommend this device to anyone that wants to try.

Have a speaker in the bathroom and speakers in the kitchen hooked up to this, along with the front channel speakers in the living room. The kitchen and bathroom have volume knobs on the wall had to do the same for the living room. The living room would be REALLY loud and then i'd back down the kitchen and bathroom. The overall output to the living room speakers went down (expected), so i have to turn it up louder when just watching tv, but was surprised that the volume doesn't change at all when i turn on or off zones with the 1-6 selector on the front.

PROS: Easy to setup

I used this in my small theater setup to switch between 3 sets of speakers around the stage, and it did it perfectly. No fuss, no muss. Strangely, it was a little too light-weight, and when I pushed to buttons the unit would move, so I had to tape it down (lighter toggle buttons would help) but it was functionally flawless. And a very good price.

PROS: Easy to use lightweight non-powered low cost

CONS: No gain control or input selection for each channel.

I used this for an installation of a customer of mine. I really like the price and metal construction. Alas, the spring binding posts are very flimsy. After I had to stick two of them back in, I noticed that several others looked like they were ready to go. This is the kind of basic thing that one should never have to worry about. I will go back to Russound until I am convinced these have been fixed. The labels were a little tiny as well although that has been a problem with many selectors I have used. It seems no manufacturer will fix this and I will keep having to use a label machine. Lastly, the protection button should simply say "on/off" instead of the "Single pair direct" blah blah blah.

PROS: -Low price
-Sturdy steel construction
-Performs as described

CONS: -Binding posts are disturbingly flimsy(two came out completely and several others are very loose)
-Protection on/off not clearly described on front(most other selectors simply say on/off instead of the verbose method here)
-Labels too small

3/5

PROS: Splitting the sound to multiple speakers works fine.

CONS: The description does not specify that only speaker "pin plugs" will work with this unit, rather than speaker "banana plugs." The banana plugs are too large to fit into the connection. Also the unit looks like it is designed for smaller gauge speaker wires. My wires were very difficult to get pushed into the wire receptacles and one of the plastic clips broke loose and made that speaker choice no longer useable. I didn't send it back because I didn't need all 6 speaker slots anyway. But the connector is cheaply made, and the specs are not descriptive.

Just another Chinese POC.

PROS: Great price but you get what you pay for.

CONS: When I hooked up my speakers, one and two worked fine. However, 3 & 4 would both play regardless of which button was depressed. The same for 5 & 6. I took it apart and found that, who ever soldered the board, the solder bridged two contacts causing both speakers to play. I cut away some of the solder and made it look like 1 & 2 and it worked fine.

I am using the speaker selector in an office setting to split the audio from a receiver into 5 lines each with their own impedance matching volume control and differing numbers of speakers. So far, everything is working as planned and this magic box is just what I needed.

PROS: Works well

CONS: Shipping and duties into Canada cost almost twice what the product is worth
