4.0 out of 5 stars works fine, October 18, 2005

This selector works just fine. The impedance protection is a nice feature, and it is elegantly simple. The pushbuttons and 'indicators' are manual, which is neat, actually- that means one less wall wart. No remote control, nothing fancy.

This unit also comes with a few sheets of preprinted labels- so you can put them on the front of the unit and indicate which button controls which room- there are even more obscure items than "master bedroom" or "guest bedroom"- like "cabana" and "pool house". So, if you have speakers in a cabana and poolhouse, you'll be covered.

This review is from: SIMA SSW-6 1 x 6 Speaker Selector with Impedance Protection (Electronics)

It works just fine, unlike the previous speaker selector I had. Not only that, it improved the performance of my speakers! The old selector I had was a SpeakerCraft and it really was terrible. Very difficult to use, difficult to connect wires to, and now I find out it messed up the low and high end of my speakers! When I connected this Sima selector I was very happily surprised that my speakers were better than I had known; the high and low ends are much better now.

Two caveats - the "protection" button negatively affects both the high and low end a little bit which is a bummer. I wonder how dangerous it is to use the unit without the protection button being used. You don't need it if you are just using one pair of speakers at a time, so do that without the protection as much as possible.
Also, the buttons are a bit hard to push. You have to really apply pressure. What's the point of that? If you have arthritis it might be an issue!

Bottom line: this is a good unit, and SpeakerCraft is NOT! Plus it's about 1/3 the cost of the SpeakerCraft to boot!

5.0 out of 5 stars 6 speaker selection, July 21, 2007

With neighbors close by I need lots of speakers everywhere so the main speakers do not have to be turned up loud to be heard everywhere. This 6 speaker selector solves the problem. It sits on top of the amp and is easy and convienient to switch different sets of speakers on and off. I can have all of them on at a low volume and everyone can hear in the house, the back yard, up on the deck. It is a really good deal for the money.
