NOTE: When wiring for this configuration
you will need to ignore the "AMP" and "Speak-
er" labels on the terminals. Please instead refer
to the white writing on the circuit board as
illustrated below in (Figure #3).
1. Connect the Amplifiers: Connect the
speaker outputs from the first amplifier or
receiver to the connector that has "A" printed
on the board. Observe proper channel and
polarity of the connections (+ from the ampli-
fier to + input on the control, left channel out
to the "L" side of the connector marked "ampli-
fier" on the selector). Repeat the process for
the other amplifier using the connector "B" as
seen on the board.
2. Connect the Pair of Speakers: Connect
the wires from the speaker pair to one of the
terminals labeled "Common" on the board. Observe proper channel and polarity of the connections (+ from the speaker to + input
on the control, left channel from the speaker to the "L" side of the connector marked "speaker" on the selector).
Mounting the AB-S
(See Figure #4)
Once the selector has been wired it is ready to be mount-
ed into the wall. Referring to diagram #4, place the com-
ponents of the selector into the wall using the enclosed
screws. The AB-S is configured to accept a variety of differ-
ent colored buttons and plates.
Operating the AB-S
Once installed the AB-S provides the ability to select
between two pairs of speakers that are connected to the
same amplifier or between two amplifiers that are con-
nected to the same speaker pair.
Before operating the switch for the first time, turn your
amplifier(s) on (you should have had it off for installation
of the selector). Next, slowly turn up the volume to the
listening level you desire. To make a choice between the
two amplifiers or two speakers, simply depress the button.
