Because we are music lovers in our household, we have always enjoyed the ability to add extension speakers from our home audio/visual system to various rooms in our home. Extension speakers provide a very pleasant environment being able to go room-to-room in our house and have uninterrupted listening of our favorite tunes. As in our case, the extension speakers are mostly on at lower volume to provide background music. Serious listening is done in our living room with our main audio speakers. The Pyle speaker selector switch box works well for adding extension speakers. It is simple to use, has easy to understand instructions and safely sends the correct "load," (or in layman terms: power) to the speakers without overheating or taxing the amplifier within your audio/video system. The selector switch is a box you ideally set near your a/v system. Making a presumption you would know how to wire two stereo (left & right) speakers to your a/v system, it is easy to instead connect these wires to the Pyle speaker selector terminals and, in the case of this Pyle selector box which has up to 8 extension speakers capability, run wires to up to 8 speakers. I have used the Pyle speaker selector box to add extension speakers in my main listening room as well as to other rooms. Keep in mind that this is NOT a wireless system. You will need to run actual speaker wires to each extension speaker. This can be particularly troublesome if you don't have easy access to attic/basement or crawl space, otherwise, your speaker wire runs will be visible and potentially unsightly. I heartily recommend hiring an electrician or home theater specialist if you need to run wires from your a/v system behind walls, below floors or above ceilings. This is not a flaw of the selector box. A properly "hard-wired" extension speaker is far more desirable than wireless because it is not subject to any form of interference or drop out that might be related to internet broad band issues, for example. Not taking the space here to elaborate, you will also owe it to yourself to research an easy to understand tutorial on proper speaker cable wire. The insert holes on the selector box are large enough to accept only up to 14 gauge speaker wire. So you can use speaker wire gauge numbered 14, 16, 18, 20 and so on, but any size of larger wire such as 12 or 10 gauge will not fit in the holes. 12 gauge may be neccessary for long runs of speaker wire. The front of the box is black. The buttons are easy to push and of course, allows you the choice to run 1 pair of extension speakers, all of them or just some. The selector box does not require power. It uses the power of the amplifier within your home audio/visual system. The selector box, if cared for properly, should last a very long time as there is no real moving parts other than the push buttons and the clips that hold the speaker wires in the holes. I've used and still use Pyle products, particularly their loud speakers. Products have always been dependable at fair prices.

Hooked it up with speaker supply lines from my Sony Receiver. Works great, good sound, can control different speakers in different rooms. Was simple to hook up and the 14 gauge speaker wire I used no problem fitting into the back speaker connections. Just bared about half inch of wire, twisted it tight and opened the clip, inserted the bare section of wire and closed the clip, easy and fast. The 14 gauge speaker wire I used I got at Lowes, it came in a bubble package, found it where they have their phone, video connectors and ceiling speakers on display. You'll pay forty nine dollars, it's for running in wall cavities and is yellow in color, with thirty metres coiled up. It also comes in sixteen gauge for less money. I give this five stars, it more than met my expectations.

Excellent

I was looking for a solid yet simple speaker selector switch to manage the ceiling speakers in my house. We have Sonos throughout but the bridges can get expensive. I named the bridge "Ceiling Speakers" and then connected it to the amplifier input on the Pyle switch. I used 7 of the 8 available zones on the switch, connecting speaker pair and labeling the corresponding button on the face. It was super easy and it works great! I can run multiple zones at once depending where I want to hear the music. I do not notice any appreciable loss of power when I'm running all the zones at the same time, which surprised me. Overall i am impressed with the quality and the performance of the switch. Best part of the purchase is the value for the money. It's nice to see quality products that don't cost a fortune...
