12 best speaker selector with volumes
Product description
Spread your music everywhere. A key element of any home audio distribution system is a speaker selector. The speaker selector allows you to distribute your source signals to several sets of speakers distributed throughout your home. Additionally, a good speaker selector like our 2-channel a/b selector listed here, will allow you to have different source audio sent to different rooms so that someone in one room can be listening to something different in another room. Most importantly, a speaker selector provides impedance matching, which ensures that the additional speakers do not overload or damage your Amps. The Monoprice msv-2 is a dual source 2 zone speaker selector with built in independent volume controls for each source. This device can handle up to 100 watts per channel. It supports a frequency range of 20Hz to 20Khz. Accepts wire gauges up to 14AWG and maintains load at 8 ohms.
- Supports up to 100 watts/channel
- Distributes two stereo audio sources to up to two destinations
- Supports bare speaker wire up to 14AWG
User questions & answers
Question: | What gauge wire does this accept |
Answer: | Yes it does. We use it to play music simultaneously indoors and outdoors when entertaining. It's a great little setup. |
Question: | Has anyone used larger than 14AWG wire in the ports, would like to use larger wire for a very long run |
Answer: | It will work for what you want to do. The unit is better suited for 8 ohms speakers. Currently I'm using 4 ohms but not a great idea. If you drive the power too much you will blow the mono price. I also think that it's better suited for using 1 amp and two set of speakers. |
Question: | Will this do A+B Speaker playback simultaneously |
Answer: | yes |
Question: | I want to connect two amps and volume control to two sets of speakers. Will this work? Do the speakers need to be similar Ohm wise |
Answer: | it comes in a amazon shipping box |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can you tell me what the warranty is on this product |
Answer: | 300 is about right. Any larger and the spkr wires won't fit. 16 gauge max |
Question: | Can I connect this to my receiver via bluetooth |
Answer: | We have a 100W amp connected to our speaker selector (actually the 8 channel one) and we can drive both the floorstanding speakers in the main room and all 7 rooms with in-ceiling speakers around the house to any volume we like with excellent fidelity. IF you already have a receiver and you're thinking about a new one to use with the selector, you can always use the old ton and connect it to the second source, and now you have 2 possible kinds of music to switch around the house. WE have the Amp, CD, and IPad on source A, with an old receiver for AM/FM on source B, so we can have one program playing in some rooms, and a second in the other rooms. |
Question: | what is the maximum continuous amplifier power for which this product is compatible? The SSVC6 says 300W, but I can't find a spec for this one. THXS |
Answer: | Accepts Wire Gauges Up to 14AWG |
Question: | What do I need to look for in a receiver to pair with this volume control selectors |
Answer: | 14 gauge is tight but will work. You need to be very careful stripping the wire so you do not get stray strands while inserting. Another option is to use a short pigtail of 16 gauge and transition to 14 gauge. Impedance loss is linear so a few inches of 16 gauge will have no impact on losses |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this rack mountable |
Answer: | Hi, no it is not mountable. However, you may customize your own rackmount. Thank you. |
Question: | can I use this amp with my sony str 1030 reciever to add additional power |
Answer: | This is not an amp. It takes an output to speakers and can run different sets of speakers. If you do not have enough power in your receiver to run the speakers it will not work. Each time you turn on a set of speakers it will drop the power by a percentage. Some receivers can not handle more then three sets. |
Question: | Can one of the zones I hook to be a powered subwoofer (which itself feeds a pair of small speakers |
Answer: | No you cannot hook up a powered sub woofer to a speaker selector |
Question: | Will this work with an old devon dra 35v receiver from the mid 80s? i have 4 pairs of speakers and might need to use at least three pairs at a time |
Answer: | I do not recognize the Receiver you are referring to but the connections are very simple. The speaker wires that are driving your speakers will be shortened and then connected to the Pyle Home speaker selector. Then your speakers will be connected to the Pyle Home speaker selector to each of the different four zones that you have in your home/office/whatever. I am presently driving three pairs of speakers with one zone unused. I have had perfect performance. |

User questions & answers
Question: | I want to use this on two sets of speakers, one set for front height & second set for side surrounds and switch between the two. Is it possible |
Answer: | While you can connect up to four pairs of speakers, this device will not work as a surround sound device like having front, rear, center channels like a Dolby or DTS system. This only splits a stereo signal to multiple pairs of the same exact stereo signal.Hopefully this helps. |
Question: | Does this switch allow me to control sets of speakers independently |
Answer: | You can control up to 4 sets of speakers independently or play all at the same time! I have switch A for patio speakers, switch B for inside house, sometimes I play A or B or A+B |
Question: | One person indicated what they believed the protection button was. Does anybody know? Pyle technical support apparently doesn't exist |
Answer: | In modern amplifiers the protection button is actually used to simulate a safe ohm load to the amplifier, not mask the lack of a load. When you connect multiple speakers of certain ohm ratings in series or parallel, it alters the ohm load presented to the amplifier. The switch allows you to attach multiple speaker sets while presenting and "buffering" a consistent/safe ohm load instead of the actual load. 2 x 8 ohm speakers in parallel on the same channel would show up as 4 ohm (divide ohm rating of speaker by number of speakers), which could cause your amplifier to fail (it needs to work harder) if not designed to drive speakers with that ohm rating. If you are using more than 2 pair of 8 ohm speakers simultaneously you would turn on the protection mode to present an ohm load of ~4 ohm instead. Most protection solutions present a 4.5 ohm load in this scenario. Understand that ohm loads are AC and thus are constantly fluctuating during playback. Speaker ohm levels typically will "change" @ different volume levels etc. Low impedance allows for a more efficient electric signal. Typically speakers are rated 4, 6 or 8 ohms. Lower end receivers can sometime have issues driving low impedance 4 or 2 ohm speakers. |
Question: | How do I hook this up to my 5.1 receiver |
Answer: | Hello Dan,This device is for other areas of a home where you have additional speakers and is not made to be used with the surround sound system. It can be used with "Stereo Receivers" or with 7.1 A/V Receivers where your only using the 5.1 portion of the receiver. What that means is if you have a surround sound system in your home, then all the speaker outputs of the receiver are dedicated to the surround sound and at that point there are no more speaker terminal outputs to be used.However, if your receiver is a 7.1 A/V receiver and your only using it as a 5.1 Surrond Sound System, then you will have 2 additional speaker outputs that aren't being used.At that point you can attach those terminals (via 2 speaker wires a left & a right) to the Pyle 4 Channel Speaker Selector. Now connect the other rooms to the outputs on the Pyle Speaker Selector. ***Make sure you have the correct speakers paired to each individual room when you connect these wires. You can easily determine this by taking a battery from your remote control and placing the ends of the speaker wires to the battery. Positive end of the wire + to the positive end of the battery and the negative end off the same wire to the negative end of the battery, You can hold the negative wire tight to the battery with your thumb while you release and then retouch and release and retouch the positive end a few times. you should hear a popping sound coming out of the speaker. This will let you know which wire goes to which speaker in which room or area. I usually use a "Sharpie" Marker and label the wire "Living Rm" or "Dining Rm" or what ever the room is that the wire goes to. *****Now, and this is most important or you will "FRY" your Pyle unit, make sure the negative wire that is connected to the Pyle output is the same negetive wire that is connected to the speaker terminal in the room where that wire goes and the positive does the same. IF YOU CROSS THE WIRES AND PUT THE NEGATIVE WIRE IN THE POSITIVE TERMINAL, YOU MOST LIKELY WILL GET BAD RECEPTION TO THAT SPEAKER OR FRY (DAMAGE) THE PYLE UNIT AND MAYBE EVEN YOUR RECEIVER. ALSO, MAKE SURE NO BRAIDS OFF OF THE SPEAKER WIRES TOUCH THE CHASSIS OF THE RECEIVER OR EACH OTHER. THIS WILL SHORT THE UNIT.Finally, you may have to go into the setting of your A/V Receiver and select the "Speaker Settings" and scroll to where the "Surround Back" or "Zone 2" Speaker set up is and select "NO". This will deactivate the use of those speakers to be used in the room where the Surround Sound is and will allow them to be used for "Stereo Music" to other rooms.In about 90-100% of all A/V Recievers have to use "Analog" or "RCA Cables" from the device you want to hear the music or sound from in the rooms that the Pyle is hooked up to. FM Tuner (or radio stations), Pandora and Internet Radio Stations are already incorporated in the receiver and will play with no problem.Now just select "Zone 2" on the Receiver and press the "Input" selection you want to hear in those other rooms. Raise the Zone 2 Volume Level for those rooms and you should hear music or audio. Please note that some receivers have a time period of 5-6 seconds for you to do these steps, so when making your audio selection and volume level, know where your audio selection button is that you want before performing these steps or your Receiver timer will time out and you will have to permorm them again. It can be frustrating at first for a novice. It was for me. Sometimes still is. LOLA couple of things to know. I would only use this device if I had "Individual Volume Controllers" in each of the rooms or areas where I want Music or Sound. If you don't, then the "volume level" will be the same in all those areas. Volume Controls allow you to do what they say, they can "Control" the volumes level. If the Music or Sound is too High in one room, it might be too Low in an other room. Volume Controls correct that.If you don't have individual Volume Controls in the rooms where your speakers are, then you want to purchase the Pyle Home PSPVC4 4-Channel High Power Stereo Speaker Selector with volume Control. http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PSPVC4-4-Channel-Speaker-Selector/dp/B0013CH7UK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376744129&sr=8-1&keywords=Pyle+Speaker+Selector+with+Volume+Controls If you have any issues getting the sound to pass through Zone 2 of your Receiver, contact the units manufacturer and ask for tech support.I hope this helps.Ken Nichols, PresidentSIGHTS & SOUNDS OF SOUTH FLORIDA, INC.3801 Environ Blvd.Fort Lauderdale, FL 33319305-788-1895 |

User questions & answers
Question: | Will fit on slider rack shelf with 16 inches wide and 15 inches deep? thank you |
Answer: | Good question. There are two things you should know before you pull the trigger on this. Banana plugs don’t insert far enough to stay put, and since I have this box hooked up to amplified speakers I kept getting a buzz. I bought special banana plug pig tails which I ended up removing because of said problem. What did work very well for me was to remove the banana plugs and strip and solder the speaker wires then tighten the threaded part against the inserted wire in the hole on the shaft, a very tight connection and that worked great. The other issue is you can’t turn off one the speakers which was reported in one of the comments. It is annoying but for my application one set of speakers is downstairs with their own volume control so, I just adjust the volume on them when in use. Hope this helps. |
Question: | I don't understand the description. what does the a /b button at each speaker volume control mean? doesn't the speaker pairs selected play together |
Answer: | Hi, I have one of these (returning the 1st one due to poor speaker terminal , I find that it will accept a 4mm and thicker Banana Plug. Amazon's model was poor fit, but MediaBridge's plug in more securely. I have not fully connected my XtremePro yet, but I hope this helps. |
Question: | Can the speaker connectors take banana plugs as opposed to threading the wires |
Answer: | I may not be understanding your question correctly, but with this item I am using the volume control on my amp for the front speakers and the volume on this device to control the volume on the rear speakers. So yes, I can set one set of speakers at a different volume that the other. Again, if I am understanding your question correctly. |
Question: | So I can hook up 4 sets of speakers on my new Pyle unit all on one receiver without worry of damage? Looked like chart had impedence fall off to |
Answer: | Yes as far as I can tell. Aka-when I only have on speaker on and flip the switch to turn another group on, the volume drops. It’s not necessarily half the volume though. |

Answer: | Yes. We put a speaker selector on it and have it wired to 2 sets of speakers. 1 set has 2 speakers and 1 set has 4 speakers. |
Question: | What colors does this control come in |
Answer: | Hi sounds like you dont want to see the tranformer , with cable running down the wall. What I did with mine if you know about wiring electrical and things like that I cut the wire from my Transformer to the unit and I made it longer and I run a wire up into my attic where I have a light switch with a plug .plugged in the transformer ,made the wire longer so now it's a hard wire unit basically that's what it looks like because all you see is just the unit in the wall with the faceplate no wire sticking out of it and that's how I did mine don't know if you have access to your attic and if you have a light up there with an outlet but that will be the best way to have a clean job for it, hope this will help a bit, also to your question, this unit comes with a 120v to 12 volt dc converter |
Question: | Can I use this for two source inputs and one output? IE: Channel A = (inA, comA = Chromecast); Channel B = (inB, comB = other source); out=speakers |
Answer: | I assume you are referring to the bluetooth name. I have 6 units, they all use the same name, but that isn't a problem, because they don't advertise unless you push the volume knob. After you pair each one, rename it on your phone, no need to rename on the receiver, the phone can tell them apart. So if you have previously paired to a phone, when you turn the unit on it will try to reconnect to its existing paired device. If you want to pair to a new device, press the volume knob while you are scanning for devices from your phone, then rename it in bluetooth settings on your phone after it is paired. The only time you are going to have an issue is if you press the volume knob on 2 devices at the same time, you wont know which is which, but since you probably cant be in 2 rooms at once to do that, shouldn't ever be an issue, and whichever one it pairs to, you can rename to distinguish which is which.. |
Question: | Does this control 2 speakers or 2 pairs of speakers? The pictures are deceiving and I don't see it noted. Thanks |

Product description
The NEW TEC-905B speaker selector with volume control will allow you to use two stereos with up to 10 speakers (5 pairs) placed around the house, restaurant, office, warehouse etc. You can turn each set of speakers on and off, and adjust the volume for each pair as well. The input for the TEC-905B comes from your stereos, amps, receivers, etc. This just means you take the speaker wires from the back of your stereo, amp, etc. and plug them into the either input terminals on the back of the TEC-905B. Each speaker pair has independent rotary volume control. Volume adjustment and impedance matching is accomplished through internal heavy-duty multi-trapped transformers for each speaker. This allows complete, independent control of each pair with maximum efficiency and virtually no generation of heat. The built-in precision auto impedance correction and overload protection circuits will safe-guard your amplifiers and speakers from damage due to excessively low impedance when all 10 speakers are playing at the same time. Rear gold plated color coded professional grade banana socket connections accept up to 12AWG wires. Also has headphone input with individual volume control as well. Features: Each pair of speakers can be alternatively switched to either amplifier A or B Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz High efficiency transformer based designed, fully automatic amplifier impedance protection Compatible impedance with 4 - 16 ohm speakers 100W RMS, 200W peak per channel power handling Individual rotary volume controls Master ON/OFF switch connects and disconnects the signal distribution from the amplifiers to the speakers Dimensions: 2.25"H x 15.5"L x 8.5"W Weight : 12 lb Headphone input with volume control Pre-printed zone and equipment list label included for easy speaker connection identification Sturdy metal enclosure Passive design, no power required

Question: | Cna you still use wall mounted speaker volume controls in each room to control the volume |
Answer: | Yes! I am using 2 Niles box to run 4 Cerwin Vega AT15 and 4 Kenwoods KLZ999... no problem at all! |

Answer: | yes |
Question: | will this deliver 8ohms to each speaker |
Answer: | I'd guess from the setup you describe, the 5 speakers in the family room are for a 5.1 Home Theater System, the rest being for stereo audio playback.This device allows a receiver to drive 6 pairs of stereo speakersA dual zone A-V receiver would be best, main zone to drive the 5 speakers and then hook the niles to Zone 2 to run the house audio speakers. |
Question: | someone knows what the difference between this product and http://www.amazon.com/Matrix-Speaker-Selector-Switch both the same manufacturer |
Answer: | HPS-6 allows you to only turn individual speaker pairs on and off at the switch. SSVC-6 supports inputs from two different sources. Two stereo amplifiers playing different music or other audio can connect and be selected at the volume control on the switch. So each pair or speakers can play either of the two input sources and volume is adjustable. Power handling is likely very close with both units. Check sp;ecs if you are going to rock the casbah. impedance matching with be featured on both switches. That is a big deal. Keeps the amps from running or failing. |
Product description
The SSVC-6.1 Speaker Selector is a resistor-based, impedance matching speaker selector used for connecting up to six pairs of 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers, while maintaining a safe impedance load for your amplifier or receiver.

Product description
The SP-92-V speaker selector with volume control will allow you to use two stereos with up to 4 speakers (2 pairs) placed around the house, restaurant, office, warehouse etc. You can turn each set of speakers on and off, and adjust the volume for each pair as well. The input for the SP-92-V comes from your stereos, amps, receivers, etc. This just means you take the speaker wires from the back of your stereo, amp, etc. and plug them into the either input terminals on the back of the SP-92-V. Each speaker pair has independent rotary volume control. Volume adjustment and impedance matching is accomplished through internal heavy-duty multi-trapped transformers for each speaker. This allows complete, independent control of each pair with maximum efficiency and virtually no generation of heat. The built-in precision auto impedance correction and overload protection circuits will safe-guard your amplifiers and speakers from damage due to excessively low impedance when all 4 speakers are playing at the same time. Machined brass gold plated color coded professional grade banana socket connections accept up to 12AWG wires. Dimensions: 2.50"H x 10.0"L x 8.0"W. Sturdy metal enclosure. Passive design, no power required.
- Allows you to use two stereos with up to 4 speakers (2 pairs) with volume control.

User questions & answers
Question: | What's the power handing on this per channel, pls confirm if 100 is peak or RMS |
Answer: | A: I would think it would be strong enough. Although I can't really imagine why you would have to do that. This mount will never be stronger and more stable than the way it was designed to be mounted. Also..another reason for the design is to ensure that the base plate that goes under your camera and the receiver for flush under the camera body so there would be little or no obstruction in camera function or the tripods abilities. Most tripods can tilt your camera to virtually every angle so depending on the camera body, if you do not use the quick release the way it was designed you may or may not be contributing to more stress on the base of the camera.. |
Question: | Does this product work |
Answer: | The part that screws on to the tripod is 1 3/8 inches by 2 3/8 inches (the long part was measured in the middle where the latch is located.) The part that screws on the camera is 1 1/8 inch by 1 1/2 inch. |
Question: | Does this product work |
Answer: | This thing is flush on BOTH sides. The cork part your camera sits on AND the part that sits on you tripod or other mount. Even the release handle fits between the two surfaces and does not interfere. I have one of these on a permanent windshield mount for an action cam I am using as a dash cam. Makes it SO easy to remove the camera for security reasons. I would have posted pictures but there doesn't seem to be a way to post them on this answer. |
Question: | I have 10 klipsch r-1650-c speakers in 5 diff rooms, i plan on using them with a yamaha r-s202 reciever, can this selector box handle those |
Answer: | Hello. Yes this quick release plate is metal - definitively not plastic.Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day!Deven MorganEvent Cameras |

User questions & answers
Question: | what does it have volume control |
Answer: | Yes. Besides volume for each pair their is also an A/B switch for each set of speakers. So as long as you dont have 2 inputs running at the same time, the "B" side would be same as turning off. BTW...It also worked great for what I needed, pretty pleased with the purchase. |
Question: | I assume you just take any one speaker output and connect it to one of the inputs on the switch?? does it matter if its right or left |
Answer: | No banana fittings required, you can just insert stripped wire and tighten. |
Question: | When 2 amps + 3 speakers are hooked, how do you turn OFF speaker that is not in used? And does that totally disconnect it from the circuit? -cris |
Answer: | To keep cost down |
Question: | Do you have to use banana fittings, or is there a hole thru the terminal when you unthread that you can just insert stripped wire and tighten |
Answer: | 17" wide5-1/4 deep2-1/4" highGreat device!!! |
Question: | Why do none of these units have a remote control |
Answer: | Should be ok, nothing bigger than 14 gauge |
Question: | what are the exact dimensions of this |
Answer: | I have not tried that but it should work. I would not engage the protection button since there is no impedance problem with 70 volt systems. |
Question: | Will this device handle 135w of power from our new sony strdh130 2 channel stereo receiver? What gauge speaker wire do I need to buy |
Answer: | Since the “Amazon 2x4 selector” is basically a switch box (completes the amp to speaker pair circuit you want) my gut says yes. But since you would be reversing the intended signal direction I can't comment on if auto impedance correction and overload protection, or even volume control will perform properly. And by reverse signal direction I mean to get your desired 4 amps mapped to 2 speaker pairs (4x2) rather than the intended 2 amps mapped to 4 speaker pairs (2x4) you would have to reverse your cable hookups on the back of the “Amazon 2x4 selector”. In other words you would have to connect your amp1, amp2, amp3, amp4 to “Amazon 2x4 selector” speaker1, speaker2, speaker3, speaker4 output jacks. And also connect your speaker1, speaker2 to “Amazon 2x4 selector” amp1, amp2 input jacks. Now with this configuration the “Amazon 2x4 selector” A/B amplifier button next to each volume knob will really be your speaker1, speaker2 selector. And your amplifier selector will probably have to the amplifiers themselves since you would want avoid sending more than 1 amplifier signal to any one speaker pair. Setting a volume knob to zero will may also accomplish this but I can’t be sure. Now what is the risk in trying this? Since the “Amazon 2x4 selector” is not powered (no power cord/supply directly to it) I think it is low. If it doesn't work you still have a really good 2x4 capability with auto impedance correction and overload protection. And if you are really persistent you could get (or build) two very simple 4x1 selectors. Label one of them A and one B. Connect all four amps to A selector and all four amps to B selector. Then connect A selector to Amp A input on “Amazon 2x4 selector” and connect B selector to Amp B input on “Amazon 2x4 selector”. Good luck. I applaud you desire to get it the way you want. |
Question: | Will this work with a 70v amplifier and speakers, or just 8ohm |
Answer: | Not sure that I understand your question. This will provide protection for wattage more than 100 watts RMS, with peaks up to 200 watts. If you have a low wattage amplifier and the amplifier distorts due to being overdriven, the speakers are at risk of damage. |
Question: | Can the sp 94-v switcher work in reverse: 2 4-channel receivers and 2 sets of speakers? i want to use the same speakers for both amps/ like bi-wire |
Answer: | This speaker selector is 'Impedance Correcting' so whether you are connecting only one speaker in the pair, say the Left Speaker, or both speakers in the pair, the impedance will not be affected. Impedance affects each channel, not pair. In other words, only the Left Speakers will affect the impedance for the Left Channel, regardless whether the Right Speaker is hooked up or not, but with this Speaker Selector and its 'Impedance Correction', it will adjust the impedance to stay above 4 ohms. |
Question: | Can this one protect speakers not overloaded from high wattage amplified |
Answer: | I did mine with banana plugs. It's the easyest way to do. I got mine from amazon and they are way cheaper then Best Buy. I have a surround sound system with another b option. I used that. If you have a regular receiver then use all your main speakers as A or B or both depending on your receiver. If you have a option c speaker that is what you use. If you only have A & B then you main speakers will be A. Then take Speaker B and connect it to the main speaker Selector. From there you can start using speakers from other areas and plug them in. Note the speaker wires from other rooms like m.ine should be from the attic inside the wall behind the receiver, or what makes your rooms easy for you. I also purchased wall banana plug outlets from Home Depot, Best Buy for your buck. The system works great and is the best I have ever owned. It also protects your receiver from blowing any fuses. It's a click by click system that helps you control each area egual. Hope thi |
Question: | How is impedance affected if I connect only one speaker per channel (4 in total) instead of the full pair |
Answer: | It says warranty listed on user manual and in table of content it says Limited warranty, page 5 but page 5 is installation tips. I've read the whole thing and cant find any mention of warranty. That said, I've had it several months now and works great. |
Question: | How is the best way to hook this up to a receiver in the input section? ARe banana plusg also needed for connection to the receiver |
Answer: | I don't think so if I understand your question. This is a passive system (no power supply) with wired input/output. I have bluetooth connected to one of my component amp inputs, and my amp is wired to this distribution system. Hope this helps. |
