Figure 1 illustrates the location of the switch which allows the user to select impedance matching settings.

Multiple AE100VCs must be wired in parallel at the receiver or amp output. We recommend using the AudioSource AE6SW speaker selector to achieve this with the additional benefit of being able to turn off unused zones at the push of a button. Simply connect the zone outputs of the speaker selector to the volume controls in each of the zones. Use of speaker cable smaller than 16 gauge is not recommended.

Switch Settings for 8 ohm Amplifiers or Receivers

Example: Four audio zones, each with a pair of speakers and a volume control, totals four speaker pairs. When wired to your 8 Ohm amplifier, all AE100VC units should have all switches set to X4 in this configuration.
