Posted April 22, 201510 yr I want to switch some speakers. Thinking I can take any of the speaker selectors that are avaliable, add a 4 switch device and use the low voltage side to just open/close the connection to the speakers. Small enough I could put inside the speaker selector unit, and power that way to. Ideas?
April 22, 201510 yr A "4 switch device" seems to mean two pairs of stereo speakers. Is that what you want to switch?
April 22, 201510 yr You'll want a speaker selector not a relay due to impedance matching issues. I'm not aware of any that will fit your use case. Sorry for brevity - posted using mobile Tapatalk
April 27, 201510 yr Author stusviews: I know how speakers work. By 4, I mean something like a Niles or Radio Shack, 4 speaker selector. Technically I guess you mean that the actual switch in any of those devices is a DPDT and not a SPST, which a standard relay would be (SPST). But I could also just put in a micro relay as well so my Zwave relay, contorls a DPDT relay. Point of my question is low voltage relay. I can handle the rest of it.... mikeud: Yes understand that as well. Sorry if I was not clear, but the use of a standard speaker selector, then automate the "switch" for that device. I am not building a speaker switch from scratch, just controlling one that is avaliable for $20....(or which I have - Niles, HomeTrend, Radio Shack)
April 27, 201510 yr Which of, "controlling one that is avaliable for $20....(or which I have - Niles, HomeTrend, Radio Shack)," do you have?
