Features and Specifications:
The ISS4, ISS6 and ISS8 are low-profile speaker distribution systems with individual on/off selectors for each listening zone which distribute one stereo speaker-level signal to eight, six or four stereo listening zones. The ISS Series also provides manual power protection that is activated from the rear panel.
The manual power protection switch engages 10 ohm /15 watt resistors wired in parallel, three per channel in the ISS8 or two per channel in the ISS6/ISS4 providing higher power handling capability than the competition (able to handle up to 50% more power!) in order to protect your amplifier. All ISS’s are capable of handling 140 watts per channel total input power without the manual protection engaged and 70 watts per channel with the protection engaged.
The spring-loaded guillotine-style push terminals accept up to 14 gauge cable. The ISS’s feature 16 gauge steel construction with our durable black wrinkle powder coating and gray silk-screening. Each unit is provided with an in-depth instruction sheet and die cut labels that fit the recessed area on the buttons for labeling each zone. The 8.5" chassis width of the ISS4 combines with other 8.5" wide OSD Audio components (which will be available in the future) to make a standard 17" wide unit.

ISS8 worked great and is simple to connect. I was able to use an old receiver to set up whole house audio. - dalton
Purchased the ISS-8 speaker selector switch for half the price of the competition and it delivered as promised. Power handling ratings are better than units costing twice as much and I intend to equip the remainder of my house (indoors and out) with speakers from OSD. Thanks for a superior product. - M Dugas
I have an old Kenwood amp that puts out 90w per channel and has two pair of speaker outputs, A and B. We built a new home with nine speaker pairs and impedance matching volume controls. I'm using the A output to drive one speaker pair for the TV and the B output to drive the ISS8. It works perfectly. At mid-point on the volume controls, the sound level on the A and B outputs is almost identical, so there's no appreciable loss in volume from the ISS8.
As a novice, I spent quite a bit of time researching speaker selectors. The ISS8 appeared to have what I was looking for at a price point I could afford should I make the wrong choice. I didn't. This was a great buy. - TomC

Very easy to set up and it arrived on time. - csalibello
I bought this to power all the speakers I have in the 8 rooms in my house, including my deck and it works great. Was very happy when the system was up and running,filled the whole house with music and did NOT dissappoint !! - oldiesrock
