Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this TAGA Harmony 1-source, multizone speaker selector.
TAGA Harmony speaker selector is a device which is an e󰀩cient, cost-e󰀨ective way of
expanding an audio system at home or commercial venues (bars, cafes, restaurants,
shops, conference rooms etc.) into a complex multi-room sound system.
The speaker selector distributes audio signals from an audio source (amplier,
receiver etc.) to speakers located in di󰀨erent zones.
Our speaker selector can work with a single audio source and multizones.
Each zone can be independently activated or deactivated.
This selector is equipped with the impedance protection circuit. Once activated
regardless of the number and nominal impedance of connected speakers it protects
the audio source (amplier) from being damaged due to impedance drop.
All functions are conveniently located on the front panel for easy access.
An additional speaker selector can be connected to this TS selector in order to expand
system capabilities and to add extra zones.
Zones
A number in a model name indicates the maximum number of zones which this product
can operate with.
Cleaning
Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners. Use a damp, soft cloth for cleaning.

Additional Speaker Selector
Before connecting make sure that your audio source is turned o󰀨.
Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part
of this unit.
It can damage this unit and/or audio source / speakers.
The Push-in Spring Terminals can accommodate up to 14AWG speaker cables.
It is recommended to leave about 150 cm (5 feet) of extra cable at the selector end to
facilitate positioning and installation of the selector. Do not use staples, nails or other
metal objects to secure the cables.
You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the cables
away from other electrical wires and cables.
Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the selector correctly with the audio source
(amplier, receiver etc.) and speakers in each speaker group (RED + terminal
with RED + amplier / speaker connector, BLACK – terminal with BLACK – amplier
/ speaker connector).
Please refer to your audio source / speaker instruction manual for more information.

Operation
1. Make sure your audio source (amplier, receiver etc.) is switched o󰀨.
2. Make sure that the volume regulator on your audio source is set to minimum.
3. Switch OFF all the Zones on the Speaker Selector (Zone Selectors in the OFF
position).
4. Switch ON the Protecting Circut (the „PROTECT” switch is in the ON position).
5. Using speaker cables (not supplied with this product) connect your audio source to
the amplier INPUT terminals located on the rear of the Speaker Selector.
6. Using speaker cables (not supplied with this product) connect your speakers to the
required speakers OUTPUT terminals located on the rear of the Speaker Selector.
7. Switch on your audio source and start playback on a connected device.
8. Select active Zones (press ON Zone Selector switches for the corresponding
zones), to which you want to transmit an audio signal from your audio source.
9. Regulate volume on your audio source to adjust level of sound in in the active
Zones.
Zone Selectors:
ON: Press down one of there switches (the switch in the ON down position) to
transmit an audio signal from your amplier (receiver) to the speakers in the
corresponding zone (room).
OFF: Press it again to switch o󰀨 the transmission (the swiitch in the top position).
PROTECT Protecting Circuit Switch:
This model has manually activated impedance protection circuit.
In the ON position regardless of the number and nominal impedance of the
connected speakers it prevents of impedance drop below an unsafe level of 5 ohm,
what can cause damages to your audio source (amplier, receiver).
High volume levels can damage your amplier (receiver),
this products and / or speakers. This may void your warranty.
The speaker selector accepts speakers with the impedance
of minimum 4Ω or higher.
Connecting speakers with lower impedance may damage this unit,
audio source and / or speakers. This may void your warranty.
The total RMS power of all connected speakers should not exceed
the nominal RMS power of the audio source. Unless not all zones
are used at the same time - in such a case the total RMS power
of all speakers connected to the active zones should not exceed
the nominal RMS power of the audio source.
Failure to follow the above recommendations may damage this unit,
audio source and / or speakers.
This may void your warranty.

Bypass Output:
Addittional Speaker Selector can be connected to this output in order to expand system
capabillities and to add extra zones (rooms).
The OFF option should be used only when speakers and audio so-
urce have been selected and connected by a professional installer.
In the OFF position the protecting circuit is not operating - it can be useful if you
intend to use the speaker selector as a part of a planned system of impedance
matching volume regulatios, allowing you to get the most out of your amplier
(receiver).
ON: Press down the protecting circuit switch (the switch in the ON position).
OFF: Press it again to switch o󰀨 the protecting circuit (the switch in the OFF
position).
The RMS power of the audio source should not exceed the power
supported by this speaker selector otherwise this unit, audio source
and / or speakers may be damaged. This may void your warranty.
The Protecting Circuit Switch „PROTECT” should be always
switched ON :
• when connecting more than a single pair of speakers to a single
zone.
• when connecting 4Ω-impedance speakers to the speaker selector.
Failure to follow the above recommendations may damage this unit,
audio source and / or speakers.
This may void your warranty.

We strongly advise to contact a professional installer or dealer in order to install
TAGA Harmony products.
We recommend using high quality TAGA Harmony cables and other installation
accessories.
