Matt Lowe Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 what are you trying to do with it? Sounds Like you would just set up a room house audio. Make all the proper connections, then thru custom buttons have it select a or b speakers. Further more with automation you could have a come on automatically or certain sources select a or b.

msgreenf Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 I am trying to add a switch behind a single zone on the c4 amp so I can use 2 rooms from A single zone. I know what I want to do and how to do it in c4. I just can't find the hardware. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Speaker comparator.AV shops usually use them to compare different sets of speakers. The company I used to work for had one to do multiple sets of 5.2 speakers using IR control to switch between them.http://www.nexuscomparators.com/products.php?catID=17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMHarman Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Cy, didn't think of this can you explain it better on what you are thinking? Thank you!Two DPDT relays connected to the controller. One for left and one for rightUN energised they are speaker a. Energised they are speaker b.Could be both energised through the same connection to the controller.

msgreenf Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sorry, I am being slow on this. Can somone explain how you woudl wire this? I am using a c4 AMP and i want to use 1 zone for 2 rooms but have independent on off. My idea was to use a speaker A/B switch but I like the relay idea, just not sure how to wire it all up.

Cyknight Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Per channel:You would wire the amplifier Positive out to the COM on a relay.What's next depends on what you want.To be able to ONLY do one or the other, you'd wire the positives for each respective speaker to NO and NCTo be able to do either/and, you'd need 2 relays - tie each common to the positive and each speaker to NOThe you then program when zone a turns on - close relays for zone a right zone a left. 2 relays for OR 4 relays for AND option.Negative just get tied directly to amp. Discrete control, no doubts.Works fine for basic distributed audio which I assume is what you're doing - wouldn't recommend for surround, high end listening.

msgreenf Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Right. Basic ceiling speakers. Nothing advanced. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
