AB-1.2 Inwall Decora A/B Speaker Selector Switch

Hi Randy: Technically you are trying to run two sources but four zones. The Speaker Selector for your application is our SSVC4 Dual Source (switchable per zone). Source A would be your Front channel output and Source B would be for your rear channel outputs. Zone 1 and Zone 3 would be for Front channels and Zone 2 and Zone 4 would be for the Rear channels. So Zone 1 and 2 would be room #1 with Front and Rear speakers a pair for each. Zone 3 (Front) and Zone 4 (Rear) would be for room #2. You would also have an internal impedance matching volume control connected to each zone to provide the protection for your amplifier plus allows you to adjust the volume levels for each zone.That would handle your application and more. Good luck TL4738

Hi Ben: This is just a pass through switch unlike our SVC-405 which is an impedance matching Volume Control with A/B switch switch. I think it would work. You would hook Amp 1 to A connecting to Right Positive and negative (common) and adding a jumper to Left Positive from right positive and a jumper to the left negative from the right negative. This will give you two zone on the output side, zone 1 would be right positive and negative and zone 2 would be left positive and negative. Add the amp 2 to the B input the same as you did amp. Of course the speakers you choose must be be 70V and the total power of the speakers connected in both zone 1 and zone 2 must not exceed 80% of the listed power on either one of your two 70V amps. If you wanted additional control you could add one of our MVC 70V Mono Volume Controls to each of the two zones. They come in 25, 50 and 100 watt versions. Let me know if this will work for you; or if you need a diagram? tim@osdaudio.com TL/4323

Hi Brian: It would be per speaker, remember this is an A or B switch so only one speaker would be playing at a time so each could be rated at 100 Watts. TL/4102

Hi Joey: Yes this should work for your application, just make sure you pick either the right or the left speaker only on both the input and output since you have just a two wire Mono connection (+/-). The switch has a 4 conductor stereo connection and you will only want to use two of the four connections. Good luck TL/3812

Hi Tommy, The A/B selector switch would not work as it only switches the source or speakers instead cutting off the current. We do have the SVC205, which is a volume control with an on/off switch. CS 2589

Hi Brett, It's not recommended. Having two amps running to a full, whole-house audio system is just to risky when switching between the amps. It does depend on the type of amps, i.e., what kind of loads they can handle and whether or not they have a standby mode, but it would be risky. It may be a better idea to run a dual source speaker selector with impedance matching instead. Check out our DSM4 or SSVC2. -BM 2457

Hi Bradley, That's a great question! Yes. We do sell a weather-proof box to protect volume controls. See link below: Let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with. Thanks! https://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/drclwa.html -BM 2362

Hi Kevin, Assuming the speakers are 8 ohms impedance, the AB-1.2 in-wall speaker selector should be fine for your application. CL/MA 1646

HI Ruben, You can connect one SVC205 (to the internal speakers) to Speaker A of the AMP120 and connect a second SVC205 (to the 2 pair of outdoor speakers) to Speaker B. Here's how the A/B switches work on the AMP120: when you press A, the B switch pops out; when you press B, the A switch pops out. It is designed this way because people typically play only one set of speakers at a time either A or B. Therefore, it would work the same way as the AB-1.2. You would set the impedance matching setting for each SVC205 to 2X. TL/MA 1453

John, This would be a push button. CL

Roy, Yeah this A/B switch would be ideal for that. CL

Roy, Yeah this A/B switch would be ideal for that. CL

Roy, Yeah this A/B switch would be ideal for that. CL

Marc, Yes you can do that. It would be perfect for that. CL

Dear Jerry, This switch wouldnt allow you to select all at once time, its either or. CL

Hi Jerry: Another option to consider is connecting the two pair of speakers with a Impedance Matching Volume Control wiring the speakers in Parallel. You can play both speakers at the same time but will not be able switch between them. The Impedance Matching Volume Control will make sure that the Amplifier sees an acceptable load while allowing you to control the volume from the remote location. It also costs the same as the A/B switch. TL

Hi Mark: The switch provides excellent isolation. We have had no negative feedback. The last 100 sold, only one had been returned. TL
