Power: Transformers rated at 200 Watts RMS continuous (600 Watts audio) 35Hz-20kHz
Load: Match up to 8 pairs of 4 or 8 Ohm speakers with all on simultaneously.*
Mounting: Mud rings must be used with installation. The out board transformers fit into standard wall Space.
Connections: Wago connectors.
*For amplifiers requiring a load of 8 Ohms or higher you must adjust tap settings to X16 when using more than 4 sets
of 4 or 6 Ohm speakers.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The INW-8 switches up to 8 pairs of 4, 8 Ohm or higher impedance speakers in any
combination, while maintaining a safe load to the amplifier. The load protection is achieved by use of an impedance
matching transformer, which offers several significant advantages. There is little or no heat developed whether one
or all the speakers are operating simultaneously, so no fire hazard exists with the in-wall switcher.
IMPORTANT
The INW-8 is supplied with two impedance matching jumpers that are normally connected to the X8 position,
which multiplies the speaker impedance to 8 times the nominal value. Thus if 8 pairs of 4 Ohm speakers are
switched on at the same time, the parallel impedance load would be .50 Ohms. The transformer setting multiplies
the impedance by 8, so the total load to the amplifier appears as 4 Ohms. The jumper settings can be adjusted to
accommodate different situations.
INW-8
Insert a screwdriver into the Wago connector with a rocking motion to the stop. The screwdriver is captivated,
holding the cage-clamp open, while the wire is inserted. The screwdriver is withdrawn and the wire is
automatically clamped.
