Description
The AV:Link AD-SPK18 lets you connect up to eight pairs of speakers to a single stereo amplifier. The output from your amplifier feeds into the selector box, which then distributes that signal to as many as eight separate stereo speaker sets around a building. Each pair can be switched on or off independently using the push-buttons on the front panel, so you decide which rooms or zones are playing at any time.
It's a practical choice for homes, shops, offices and venues where you want sound in different areas without a separate amplifier for each. The heavy duty push-buttons give a firm, positive action, and built-in overload protection helps guard the unit and your amplifier against fault conditions. Spring clip terminals make the wiring straightforward, accepting 14 to 22 gauge speaker cable, and the selector works with speakers rated between 4 and 16 ohms.
With one stereo input and eight stereo outputs, the AD-SPK18 handles up to 100W per channel. The unit measures 432 x 125 x 55mm and weighs 2.08kg, so it sits neatly on a shelf or in a rack space alongside your other kit. A loudspeaker selector like this is sometimes called a speaker switch box in US terms, and it does the same job either way: giving you simple, independent control over multi-room audio from a single source.

What power can it handle?
The AD-SPK18 handles up to 100W per channel.
What cable gauge do the terminals accept?
The spring clip terminals accept speaker cable from 14 to 22 gauge.
Does it need its own power supply?
No. It is a passive selector that routes the signal from your amplifier, so no separate power supply is required.
