It hooks to your receiver like one set of speakers does then is simply an on and off switch for up to four sets. I use it for outdoor speakers and it is great.

No, you must have a separate amp/receiver. This allows you to select separate sets of speakers to play. The amp/receiver will attach to the selector and the speaker sets will hook up to the selector

This is only a speaker selector it has one pair (red and black wire) of speaker input and have four outputs. It doesn't has an amp but you can choice to play from none to four at the same time. I am using it for some outdoor speakers and the quality is very good but I don't know what happens with some Hi-fi speakers.

This is for a single pair of speakers. If you wanted 4 speakers you would need two of these. I'm not sure how well two would play together but I'm guessing it would work fine. I truly do love my set, they work well and saved me from having to run wires across the room.

This cable is used to "change" the connection type. This answer assumes you don't have anything too exotic. If your speakers have both speakon and 1/4" connectors you can, most likely, use a "regular" cable. If your amp is stereo, you'll need one cable per channel (assuming one speaker per channel). If your amp is speakon, then use a speakon to speakon cable from the amp to the speaker(s). If your amp is 1/4" then you'll use a 1/4" to 1/4" cable from the amp to the speaker(s). If your amp is mono, you'll need one cable to go from the amp to the speaker and another cable to go from the first speaker to the second speaker. Typically, you just need to match the connectors. Again, this cable is used to change the connection type from speakon to 1/4" or vice versa.

I ordered this model and they shipped a AG790 instead of the AG790A...I'm sure the comnections are the same...I agree with the two previous answers. Strip the insulation, twist the ends, insert in the connectors and tighten. Simple. You can power 2 or 4 speakers with this amp.

Each speaker has its own powered amplifier and can be used either on its own or with a second speaker. You would have to adjust the settings on each speaker to match.

I use a standard receiver (amplified) and 4 work fine. I added an amplifier/speaker switch to run 4 pairs or 8 speakers from the one receiver. But just for 2 pair any receiver (amplified) should work fine.

The system has two speaker jacks, so it isn't possible to attach additional speakers. Since the system has limited power (15-watt output), it probably couldn't support extra speakers without distortion or damage. The owner's manual states: "Use only the supplied speakers. Using other speakers may result in unnatural sound." My opinion: The system sounds exceptional with the supplied speakers; for a unit of its size, I've never heard better. If you want more power or multiple speakers, it might be wise to look around for separate components. This system is intended to be a compact table-top unit with excellent sound, and it meets those criteria very well.

I think you will find you can connect up more than one set of speakers anyway on the same amp ie speakers 1 and 2 you can lay speakers in another room to play from that amplifier just switch over on the remote control

I assume that you know that the amp has four speaker outputs. What you want to know is how many speakers you can connect to one output. I wouldn't recommend to connect more than one speaker to one output. Speakers are no light bulbs.

My 2c here. I wouldn't run 2 sets of speakers off this amp. Even though it is rated at 8/4 ohms, I would just get a speaker selector. This is essentially a $150 amp. I wouldn't mess with it being that it is expensive. And overpriced imo.

All this is is a speaker selector -- you still need an amp to make this work. So if you have a bunch of speakers, this will sit between the amp and the speakers. My house came prewired with speakers all over it, so that's why I bought this -- to select which room music would play in.

Theoretically you can run as many speakers as you want as long as the impedance or OHMs do not go above 4 or below 2. How you achieve different impedance's is by how you wire the speakers, parallel (+ to + and - to - ) or series (amp + to first speaker + first speaker - to second speaker + second speaker - to amp -. if you had 2 - 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel you would have 2 ohms of resistance at the amp. same speakers wired in series would have a standing impedance of 8 ohms. I agree with Roosevelt this brand of power Amp is very clean at 4 ohms running it at 2 ohms increases the Total harmonic distortion Theoretically you can run as many speakers as you want as long as the impedance or OHMs do not go above 4 or below 2.

That is one of the problem of this system. The cables are very short about 3 ft to max 4 ft. every speaker have to connect to the bass and the base connects with three cables to the back of the computer i.e. the central and left and right speakers. So if you have the unfortunate experience like mine, after a year of use (very minimum use) one of the amplifiers component of the base panel overheated because of poor heat sink, you are left with 5 non functional speakers. The reply from the company is they do not sell the bass unit separately and I think with a little bit of sarcasm told me to buy a new unit and keep the other 5 speakers as spares. No Sir!!! I have made a decision to keep away from this company's product.

this amp will be good for the 4 speakers but you need a monoblock amb aka class d to find the correct watt amp multiply your speaker watt by 1.5 and thats how many wats the amp should be.hope you have good luck on your audio experience!!

I forgot to say that you can connect your family room and kitchen speakers through the speaker selector. You can connect up to 4 pairs of speakers. There is one input from a receiver or amp with 4 selectable outputs. The channels are not separate.

I am not a professional audio guy, however, I noticed a dramatic reduction in quality and volume just putting one set of speakers on each designated channel. I don't consider this purchase to be one of my best purchases. My system is only and old time receiver with 2 sets of outdoor speakers and one set of average indoor speakers. Good luck.

You would have to cut off the two little speaker plugs, strip each of the four wires back half and inch, separately twist the strands for each wire, and plug those wires into the amplifier's speaker connections. There is a picture on the Amazon ad for this amp that shows the back and what the speaker connections look like. This is not complicated but you have to end up with the wires from one speaker going into the amplifier's left two speaker connectors (+, -) and the other speaker wire going into the two right speaker connections (+,- do not matter much in small systems, but if the speaker wires are color-coded then you may as well match with the "+" and "-".).
