The ISS8 High Power Speaker Selector is an easy and effective way to distribute music to up to eight listening zones (four pairs of speakers) and play any pair, a combination of pairs, or all pairs simultaneously. Easy to connect with a low-profile design that easily fits into a cabinet or equipment rack.n choose. Front-panel push buttons let you quickly turn each pair of speakers on or off independently, and die cut labels fit within the recessed area on the buttons for easy labeling of each zone. A passive device that does not require power to operate, the ISS8 also includes impedance-matching circuitry so you can safely drive all eight pairs at once without damaging your receiver or amp. Designed with quality in mind, the ISS8 is constructed of 16-gauge steel with a durable black powder coating and gray silk-screening.

Upgraded Input/Output Connectors
The ISS8 is easy to install (even for non-technical types) and accepts up to 14-gauge cable. The European-style input/output connectors are removable, which gives you better leverage when terminating cable than traditional spring-loaded terminals. This speaker selector takes either four or two conductor speaker wire stripped at the ends that are inserted into the screw-down input/output terminals for a tight fit to ensure the best signal transmission and sound quality possible.
Protecting Valuable Audio Equipment with Impedance Protection
When connecting multiple speakers to a receiver or amplifier, you need to stay above the amp's minimum load requirements. Going below the impedance rating can overheat or even damage expensive equipment. The ISS8 includes selectable impedance matching protection circuitry that allows a single amplifier to safely power several pairs of speakers. The speaker selector handles 140 watts per channel total input power without the manual protection engaged and 70 watts per channel with the protection engaged.

are there individual volume controls on this unit for each zone?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Gary,
The ISS8 does not have individual volume controls for each zone. However, our SSVC6 speaker volume control includes up to a 6-zones with volume controls.

Is it possible to use the pin screw type of banana plugs in this speaker selector? Thanks!
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Kristin,
This particular connector is meant for bare wire connection. The connector is removable to allow better leverage when terminating the bare wire. We do not believe it will allow banana plugs.

Can I turn on all 8 zones at the same time with this? Or I can only play one zone at a time.
Thanks
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hello,
We combine our high power speaker selector with our AMP300 high current amp. You can drive all the zones at the same time, and the speaker selector will distribute the power that it is given. Can you tell us what type of amplifier you plan on using?
