The QED SS50 5-way parallel speaker switch enables you to connect and switch five pairs of speakers in parallel
When you want to use the full power of your amp and get a louder setup simply switch in the second, third, fourth or fifth pair of speakers
Parallel wiring of speakers delivers more power to each of the speakers due to the equivalent resistance of the circuit being less than that of the individual speakers. For instance, two 8 ohm speakers would have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms when connected in parallel. So you don't damage your amplifier calculate the combined impedance of the speakers you will be connecting in parallel to be sure it is not below the minimum impedance requirements of your amplifier.
Inputs
Stereo speaker output from amplifier: Connecting block style screw terminals - accepts quite thick cables including traditional 79 strand cables
Outputs
5 pairs of stereo speakers - connection type same as inputs. Speakers "A" are directly switched for the very best sound quality, speakers "B1" through "B4" converts a net 2 ohm impedance (in 8 ohm speakers are used) back to 8 ohms for safe amplifier connection
Functions
Enables the use of up to five pairs of speakers on a single pair of speaker outputs. Speakers can be switched independently allowing any combination of the four
