works fineOct 18, 2005
By Ted Timmons
This selector works just fine. The impedance protection is a nice feature, and it is elegantly simple. The pushbuttons and 'indicators' are manual, which is neat, actually- that means one less wall wart. No remote control, nothing fancy.
This unit also comes with a few sheets of preprinted labels- so you can put them on the front of the unit and indicate which button controls which room- there are even more obscure items than "master bedroom" or "guest bedroom"- like "cabana" and "pool house". So, if you have speakers in a cabana and poolhouse, you'll be covered.

Simply worksOct 04, 2006
By RFB
It works just fine, unlike the previous speaker selector I had. Not only that, it improved the performance of my speakers! The old selector I had was a SpeakerCraft and it really was terrible. Very difficult to use, difficult to connect wires to, and now I find out it messed up the low and high end of my speakers! When I connected this Sima selector I was very happily surprised that my speakers were better than I had known; the high and low ends are much better now.
Two caveats - the "protection" button negatively affects both the high and low end a little bit which is a bummer. I wonder how dangerous it is to use the unit without the protection button being used. You don't need it if you are just using one pair of speakers at a time, so do that without the protection as much as possible.
Also, the buttons are a bit hard to push. You have to really apply pressure. What's the point of that? If you have arthritis it might be an issue!
Bottom line: this is a good unit, and SpeakerCraft is NOT! Plus it's about 1/3 the cost of the SpeakerCraft to boot!

 Crappy Buttons!Sep 13, 2011
By Mr. J. Landric
"Joey"
Although there doesn't seem to be any discernable degradation to the sound quality without the Impedance Protection switched on, once the Impedance Protection has been enabled, you can notice a hit in quality. I didn't expect to have to choose between saftey and fidelity.
However, the worst thing are the buttons. I was attracted to this model because there was a visible display showing which buttons are depressed (ie which speakers are selected).
Firstly, the buttons feel very plasticy and of poor quality.
Secondly, the red plastic tab which is supposed to be visible or invisble according to whether a given channel is active is deplorably badly designed resulting in it being impossible to tell which speakers are active and which not - it depends which channel you look at and from which angle!
Thirdly, one of the buttons is so badly manufactured that sometimes only one of the two speakers on a given channel is activated. I have to push the button on one side, at a certain angle and with a certain degree of pressure to get music in stereo. Do youself a favour and spend a few more quid and get something decent from a manufacturer other than SIMA.

 6 speaker selectionJul 21, 2007
By A. Hanson
With neighbors close by I need lots of speakers everywhere so the main speakers do not have to be turned up loud to be heard everywhere. This 6 speaker selector solves the problem. It sits on top of the amp and is easy and convienient to switch different sets of speakers on and off. I can have all of them on at a low volume and everyone can hear in the house, the back yard, up on the deck. It is a really good deal for the money.
