8-Channel Speaker Zone Hub
P/N 38161
Quick Install Guide
INTRODUCTION
This 8-Channel Speaker Zone Hub is designed to connect up to eight pairs of speakers to a
single amplifier or receiver. It uses removable terminal blocks for easy connection for the
speaker wires. Note that this speaker selector does not include impedance matching
circuitry, so the use of impedance matching volume controls are highly recommended to
prevent damage to the amplifier caused by low impedance loads.
INSTALLATION
Perform the following steps to install this speaker selector.
1. Remove one of the black colored terminal blocks from the rear of the speaker
selector.
2. Strip approximately 1/4" of insulation from each end of each speaker wire.
3. Using a small flathead screwdriver, loosen the screws on the terminal block.
