Monoprice SSVC-6.1 Single Input 6-Channel Speaker Selector with Volume Control, Impedance Protection, Individual Zone On/Off Buttons, Model Number: 138160 Black

I replaced an older 6 zone Atlas speaker distributor that was acting up with this one at a restaurant a friend of mine owns. This was very easy to hook up since the connectors for each zone along with the feed from the amplifier are removable. So you hook up all the wires to the connector blocks, then plug the blocks into the back of the unit. I used a sharpie to number each connector block before making the connections to make sure I did not mix any of the zones up. It works perfectly with their new Yamaha 100 watt receiver. Note that this unit only accepts one amplified source, which is all the restaurant needed. The build quality seems to be quite high, which is what I have come to expect from Monoprice.

Arrived on time and works great.

Looks great! Operates great! Very satisfied.

In typical Monoprice fashion...good products at a good price. I only have two zones connected for now but cycled them through all 6 connectors and they all worked as expected. I really like the automatic impedance matching - so many other brands require you to change jumper settings as you connect more speaker pairs. While it would be nice if the volume controls were continuous, the 12 steps on these volume knobs give plenty of adjustment as long as you still have separate volume control for the signal coming in to the selector. One thing to note - the product dimensions are incorrect...it is NOT 19" wide! I even contacted Monoprice directly and it's wrong in THEIR database (the support agent sent me a screenshot). It sounded so improbable, I decided to take the gamble on their specs being wrong and I'm glad I did. The actual dimensions are: 16 7/8" wide, 10"d (including knobs on the front and connectors in the rear), ~2 3/8" high (including the feet). I've submitted the dimensions of the unit I received to both Amazon and Monoprice so hopefully they'll update their systems soon.

Shipping was fast 2 days. I have speakers in the ceiling in 6 rooms. I ran channel A of my Amp to this speaker selector and channel B to my living room sub woofer. The speaker selector did it's job perfectly. Each room sounds amazing. I really like the on/off feature for only playing music in the rooms I want. I can use the zone volume nobs to adjust sound levels differently in each room if needed. This was a great purchase and would recommend this unit to others.
