Introduction

The AB-2D is a wall-mount, Decora

®

style A, B or A+B speaker

selector. The unit has one amplifier input and two speaker
pair outputs. With the AB-2D, you can select an amplifier to
play into either pair of loudspeakers (A or B), or both pairs
simultaneously (A+B).

Features and Benefits

The AB-2D offers a number of improvements over other A-B
selectors.

Interchangeable Decora inserts for fast, easy color change.
Inserts and buttons (sold separately) are available in a vari-
ety of colors.

Self-cleaning, silver-plated switch contacts assure many
years of trouble-free use.

Printed circuit board design uses no hand wiring, assuring
high reliability.

The circuit board connectors can accommodate up to 14
gauge wire, making the AB-2D compatible with most
“high definition” speaker cables.
