Thank you for giving Monoprice the chance to win your business! We are confident you will find that
offers an
Monoprice
outstanding combination of performance and value in everything we make. To ensure you get the most out of your new
amplifier, please take a moment to read this manual before you get started.
The Monoprice MP-SS4 are low-profile speaker selector boxes that allow you to distribute a stereo high-level (amplified)
signal into multiple zones. These models include a manually activated impedance protection circuit that can be turned
ON to prevent the impedance presented to your receiver from dropping below an unsafe level of 5 Ohms, regardless of
the number and impedance ratings of your speakers. The protecting switch can also be turned off when used as part of
a planned system of impedance matching volume controls, allowing you to get the most out of your amplifier.
If you are
unsure, consult a professional contractor.

Push-pin Terminals
Connecting your Monoprice Speaker Selector
The terminals on the rear of the speaker selector will accommodate 14 gauge cable which will suffice for even long
connections (greater than 100 feet of wire). For shorter distances, 16- or 18-gauge wire will suffice. For behind-the-
wall installations, we recommend using UL Class 3 approved cable (marked
"
CL3 ) for compliance with local building
"
codes. When connecting a speaker and amplifier, it is important to retain the correct polarity. To do this, be sure that
the wire attached to the +, red, or positive terminal on the speaker connects to the +, red, or positive terminal on the
rear of the selector box. Similarly, the -, black, or negative terminal on the speaker must connect to the respective -,
black, or negative terminal on the selector box. Polarity should also be maintained when connecting your amplifiers
outputs to the amplifier inputs on the selector box.
