  3. Connect Speakers: Connect up to four pairs of speakers to the "OUTPUTS" terminals on the rear of the PSLSW4. Each pair corresponds to a channel (1, 2, 3, 4). Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all connections. The unit supports up to 14-gauge speaker wire.
  4. Placement: Place the PSLSW4 unit on a stable, flat surface, such as a desktop or tabletop, ensuring adequate ventilation.
  5. Power On: Once all connections are secure, power on your amplifier/receiver and then the PSLSW4 unit using its master power switch.

Operating Instructions

The Pyle PSLSW4 features a user-friendly front panel for easy operation:

  • Master Power Switch: Located on the far left, this switch turns the entire unit ON or OFF.
  • Individual Channel Volume Controls: Each of the four channels (1-4) has a dedicated rotary volume knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Turn fully counter-clockwise to "OFF" to mute or disable a speaker pair.
  • Input Source Selection (A/B): For each channel, there are two small buttons labeled "A" and "B". Press "A" to select input source A for that speaker pair, or "B" to select input source B. This allows you to play different audio sources in different zones.
