Great Device for Multipler Pairs of Speakers

I have a Harman/Kardon receiver that does not support multiple speaker setups. I have speakers in my great room and wanted to set up some speakers outside near the patio. This speaker selector device was perfect for my needs. No power required for the unit. I was concerned about the impedence matching and wanted to make sure my H/K was protected. All seems to be working as advertised. I am able to play music out of multiple combinations of setups. Great product and would recommend to others.

Exactly what it claims.

This speaker switch is easy to set up -- at least as easy as setting up the speakers themselves -- and is purely passive. There is no need to plug it in, and no way to do so. It just switches speaker pairs in and out on your command. There is no signal degradation that I can detect, and that is about all I can ask for. The manual even details the issues involved in driving multiple speaker pairs, and there is a "protection" circuit to accommodate the reduced resistance of speakers operating in parallel. The switches are soft enough that pressing them does not cause the whole box to skate around from the pressure, even though the box weighs very little. It could probably be smaller, since this is exactly the same size as the six-pair version, but I can understand why Sima would want to base both products on the same case.

The unit does not include any cables, not even short ones to patch it to an amplifier, but it never claimed to. Serious audiophiles shouldn't have any trouble finding (or fabricating) the necessary cables, as all the terminals on the unit are the spring type.

Easy to use and it works!

I was looking for a low cost option to link speakers located in an outdoor sitting area to the main home theatre/music system. This is ideal, the product is simple to use, does not require any any power and does the job. The sound quality is good.

Nice, economical switch

I wired up three different sets of speakers (one JVC and two generic) to this switch and it works great. Some volume difference between speaker pairs, but that's due to the speakers, not the switch. I use it in my shop for routing music to separate rooms, so audio quality is not critical, but I think even if it was the switch would be adequate. It'd be nice to have a volume control for each channel, but that would make the switch more expensive. As it is, it works exactly like I want it to, and the price made it attractive. Another switch I looked at through a local retail store was about $100.00, but this was the much better deal.

Decent for the price

To be honest, I did not purchase this product with high expectations. I simply needed an inexpensive way to supply music to various rooms in my house... The garage, basement, and kitchen.

First the good: It's cheap and easy to use. The audio signal it sends to the speakers is decent and better than your average clock-radio. In fact, it is probably more than adequate for non-critical listening.

The bad: The unit definitely degrades the audio signal. I currently have it connected to four different speakers brands and all of them reflect the same shortcoming, a loss of mid-to-upper range definition and a tendency to give the music a vague hollow sound. The better the speaker, the more this will be apparent.

For less than $40 you really can't expect anything better. There is no way I would recommend this unit for a true audiophile. For someone simply wants an inexpensive way to add music to other parts of the house, it's a cheap way to go.
