Electrical vocabulary - speaker connections [SOLVED]

Peter Why · Post by **Peter Why** » January 23rd, 2024, 10:14 am

I have a CD player, amplifier and speakers in one room, but would like to be able to work in the adjacent kitchen and listen to the music there, instead of in the main room.

I need some way of switching the output from the amp (with plus and minus connections for each of the right and left speakers) between the speakers in the main room and the wired speakers in the kitchen (not wireless bluetooth, as a) bluetooth speakers are expensive and b) I already have some spare speakers).

I don't have the formal vocabulary to describe or search for the switching device that I need. Could anyone help me to name it, please?

Peter

How about "speaker selector" or "speaker switch"? A device that gets its input from the amp and sends output to one of several pairs of speakers depending on the switch setting.

Thank you very much, Tom. I hadn't expected it to be something that a lot of people would need! I've just ordered one on ebay.
