MonsterÆ Introduces Two Multi-Speaker Selectors And A Stereo Volume Control For Listening Convenience and Flexibility

Monster Cable Products, Inc., the worldís leading manufacturer of high-end speaker, audio, video, computer cables, power conditioning solutions and accessories, has unveiled three new products ñ Monster Multi-Speaker Selector MSS-6 (MSS-6), Multi-Speaker Selector MSS-4 (MSS-4) and Stereo Volume Control (SVC-75).MSS-6 allows control of up to six speaker pairs, while MSS-4 allows control of up to four speaker pairs throughout the home or office. MSS-6 and MSS-4 provide the convenience and flexibility of listening to one speaker pair or multiple pairs at a time, in any location of the house or backyard. The sleek, compact design integrates easily into any home entertainment system.SVC-75 enables separate volume control for one additional speaker pair anywhere in your home or office. This is the perfect companion product to the speaker selectors because volume can then be adjusted room-by-room as desired.Monster created the Multi-Speaker Selectors because as home entertainment system expands, many people want the flexibility and convenience of using multiple speakers throughout the house to bring music to virtually any location ñ even outdoors. If hooking up more than one speaker pair to an amplifier, however, the impedance (ohms) may drop to a dangerously low level, stressing the amp beyond its limits, causing circuitry to shut down or cause internal damage. The damage can be subtle, causing the amp to perform poorly. This potential equipment nightmare can be avoided by connecting all of the speakers to a multiple speaker selector.However, ordinary speaker selectors can also degrade system performance. Although they use a resistor ""in series"" to protect the amp from low impedance loads, these ordinary inductive resistor can cause noticeable high frequency loss, resulting in less detailed music reproduction. The power rating is often low, potentially causing the speaker selector to be damaged when using a high current amplifier.Monster Multi-Speaker Selector MSS-6 and Multi-Speaker Selector MSS-4 feature high Current Amplifier Protection Circuitry, Monsterís impedance matched circuitry that allows you to safely use multiple speaker pairs simultaneously without overloading your amplifier. Audiophile-grade resistors deliver maximum power from systems using power-hungry amplifiers ñ up to 150 watts per channel. Monsterís Multi-Speaker Selectors not only offer the flexibility to enjoy music anywhere in the house, but protects the amplifier from overloading, thereby maximizing the performance of the entire music system. MSS-6 and MSS-4 are internally wired with high performance Monster Cable for the best possible sound. High purity copper and special strandings deliver smoother, more natural sound with improved clarity and dynamics.Precision 24k gold contact spring-loaded speaker connectors deliver maximum signal transfer and provides quick, easy speaker cable hookup. The connectors accept up to 14 gauge pre-terminated speaker wire and all gauges of unterminated speaker cable. Ultra-high conductivity silver contact switches with paralleled contacts are specially designed for high current amplifiers, enables smooth, error-free selection of multiple speaker pair combinations, even when playing at high volume. Provides superior corrosion resistance for maximum durability and reliability.Monsterís Stereo Volume Control enables separate volume control for one additional speaker pair anywhere in the home or office. The high power impedance matching control fits in a standard single gang electrical box. The impedance matching circuitry allows for the safe use of different types of speakers with a system. SVC-75 features a 75 watt music power rating (25 watts RMS) and heavy-duty die cast construction for maximum durability., Included in with every Volume Control is a matching DecoraÆ wall plate to finish the installation with aesthetic appeal.MSS-6 retails for $129.95. MSS-4 retails for $99.95. SVC-75 retails for $89.95.
