THE SPEAKERCRAFT MULTI-ROOM SPEAKER SELECTORS ALLOW THE OPERATION OF MULTIPLE PAIRS OF
SPEAKERS WHEN USING ONE AMPLIFIER OR RECEIVER. ONCE THE SPEAKERS ARE CONNECTED TO THE
SELECTOR, INDIVIDUAL PAIRS MAY BE TURNED ON OR OFF AS DESIRED USING THE PUSH BUTTONS ON THE
FRONT OF THE SELECTOR. ONE PAIR, ALL PAIRS, OR ANY ASSORTMENT OF PAIRS MAY BE PLAYED. WHEN
ENGAGED, A PROTECTION CIRCUIT ALLOWS THE AMPLIFIER TO OPERATE SAFELY, EVEN WHEN ALL SELECTED
SPEAKERS ARE PLAYING.
THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING THE InstaLLock
ERS QUICK AND EASY. WITH A SIMPLE PUSH OF A FINGER UNSTRIPPED WIRES PLACED INTO THE CONNECTOR
ARE SOLIDLY SECURED AND A PERFECT ELECTRICAL BOND IN CREATED. THE PROCESS IS QUICK, SIMPLE,
AND ELIMINATES THE WORRY OF WIRES BECOMING LOOSE.
INSTALLATION
Guidelines
• Use the Multi-Room Selectors only with amplifiers rated at 125 watts per channel or less.
• The InstaLLock
about the gauge of the wire you intend to use please consult your SpeakerCraft dealer.
• To avoid possible damage to your amplifier, pay careful attention to the section titled "Protection Settings".
• There are two sets of adhesive area labels for use in identifying the locations of speakers. One set is for
use on the front of the connector. The other set is included with the InstaLLock
used to more clearly identify wires once they are secured to the InstaLLock
Placement
The unique suction feet on the bottom of the selectors
increase placement options and hold the selector securely
when buttons are depressed. The suction feet are designed
to work well with a variety of textures that cover the tops of
other components.
Connecting Wires to the Selector
For easy installation SpeakerCraft supplies the InstaLLock
wiring harness for connecting the speakers to the selector.
If you are using the Multi-Room Selector with distributed
audio, you may wish to connect the InstaLLock
harness to the speaker wires and then at a latter time plug
it into the selector. The selector can then be quickly con-
nected at the time of "trim out".
