can this be used for switching between 2 inputs to 1 pair of speakers? I want to use my back surrounds for zone 2 stereo.

With this box, you simply run your speaker wires from the receiver/amp to the inputs on the speaker switch. You can run up to 4 sets of speakers at one time, or by switching off each set individually, run one set or none. You can run the wires from the switch to whatever speakers you would like. I hope this helps you.

I wouldn't recommend it, it's made so that you can have stereo left and right amplified inputs from your stereo left and right outputand be able to share them with two sets of speakers. For instance if you had a set of speakers on your patio and a set of speakers in your dining room. This way you can shut the patio speakers off at night so the neighbors won't get mad at you. Al

I use this for one signal coming from my receiver that gets spilt and goes to 2 different subwoofer amps. Hope that helps

I don't see a reason why not. Plenty of people have used it for their zone 2 or 3 speakers with no problems.

The unit can handle input from 2 amplifiers or receivers and direct it to up to 4 pairs of speakers. You can also input 2 different outputs from one receiver (such as front versus surround output) and thereby select whether or not a specific pair of speakers will function as front speakers or surround (rear or other) speakers in a given system.

I'm assuming you mean that you want to use this cable to chain two amplified speakers together. If that's not correct, please clarify and I'll alter my response. But, in my opinion, I'm not sure if this configuration will work. I would assume that your speakers have a female XLR for the input. Due to that fact, I'm not sure if this would work if you were attempting to daisy chain the speakers in line. However, if you were trying to run two separate lines from a single output of a soundboard (assuming it was a mono output or you are running two left or right channel speakers for some reason), this should work. The point being, the input signal into this cable should be the female end, and the output signal should be coming out of the two male ends.

I don't know the answer for that. You need to check on your receiver or pre-amp's manual, but if you want to use only one sub-woofer than you don't need this kind of cable, what you need is a straight forward cable. I don't think your receiver is designed for doing that. I have two sub outs on my receiver for the purpose to use two separate sub-woofer so you can put one on each side of the room or one in the front one in the back at your surround speakers. I don't recommend you to do that, you should never mix signals. This cable is designed for if you have a sub and does not have a LFE input but has inputs for left and right than you connect the double Y part to the sub and the single end to your pre-out. Also you can contact with Mediabridge they have excellent technical support. Good luck and don't do it!!!

I am running two rears off of one of these systems and it has worked really well. Looking at wireless receiver for the speaker system it only has hookups for two speakers...I guess you could double up and run four speakers but they would all just be the rears...if you wanted separate zones you would probably have to have more than one system...I don't know if they would interfere with each other of both systems were run from the same receiver. Hope this helps.

All the switch will do is split your left and right stereo channels. You usually would hook it up to main speaker out puts B or zone 2 of a stereo as it needs to have a "stereo signal" not a surround sound signal.

2shred,If you are speaking of both the RCA and the TR inputs the answer is no. For stereo use both the left and right RCA inputs or the TR inputs. Not both at the same time. There is no way to switch between the two(RCA/TR) inputs.

Only if you have some kind of switchbox to control two different pairs of speakers. This Yamaha only has hookup for one pair.

Nope..this works real good for switching between speakers and headsets but not for 2 computers

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

I am not familiar with what you are currently using but I would think so. You can use two separate systems (amplifiers supporting two separate and distinctly different set ups) and go to the same speakers to listen to each sound system.......or into six other zones or speaker setups. The box is very high quality and performs perfectly for my application. Again, I power a Pioneer audio/video system for TV and accessory video stuff into a big surround system; then I share those speakers with a separate dedicated HI-FI system. If I could afford to put speakers in other rooms (zones), then the unit could drive up to six additional areas. Hope this helps.

I don't believe this unit could do that. It is for adjusting the sound at one location/source. Switching on and off the sound in different rooms sounds like an audio switchbox function (either a specific audio hardware for that purpose, or possibly controlled by the amplifier itself if it has multiple connections and controls).

Nope. But if you got clever with mixing in a 2 to 1 splitter on the input side you should be able to accomplish the same thing. I say clever because the input is 1/4 and obviously what you plug in will be 1/8. You will also lose the stereo since the output is only mono. Still may be worth it since this sucker is pretty good at amping up and is affordable and durable.

Think of this unit as 5 individual power amps to do as you please. Use "Y" input connectors to create 2 sets of 2 speaker outputs. Add an external equalizer if you need further adjustments. What you'll want to do with the 5th channel is anyone's guess. I hope this helps.

Yes. Put connectors into middle RCA'S and out through switch A for TV speakers and out through switch B for the headphones. You have two inputs and one out put. Here you will reverse. Have inputs become out puts and one out put become the one input. Remember, it is just a switch.
