Best part: moonrise outdoor speaker volume control costs reasonable and it is available to ship in 24 hours. It is a rotary-type wall plate volume control for speaker systems with power ratings of up-inch 100 watts per channel and impedance ratings of 4-inch 16 ohms. The color is more off white than the neighboring true white Decora switches and receptacles. It has left and right input feeds for stero volumr control. The size of the components in the back of the unit make it hard to maneuver wires into place. The green fittings that the speaker wire attached can be unplugged from the main switch.
The volume control is well-made and easy to install but you do have to make sure the jumpers on the back of the volume control are set for the proper omhs. The unit works good and can handle 100watts RMS without issue. It will fit in a standard wall outlet box. It can be used in a regular electrical box (they won't fit in), it is meant to be used in a low voltage box, which is bigger.
Why We Like This:
Install easily and work great with in ceiling
Easy install, especially with the removable connectors
Smooth operation with nice detents to mark stops
Power is required, just wire in series with the speakers you want to control

The melody outdoor speaker volume control is satisfactory and appropriate and fits well with your daily usage. It is just a speaker switch. It is a perfect speaker selector switch box. It works well, and the buttons have good resistance, and click in solidly when activated. It is easy to install, and works exactly as expected. There is 1 in and 4 out so you should be able to control your front and rear fired speakers plus 2 more locations.
It is just a switch to change from one set of speakers to another. It just easily controls which set of speakers are on, inside or outside or both etc. It is best for switching in different zones.
Why We Like This:
Allows you to select as many or as few as you like channels simultaneously
Impedance protection is the way to go
Easy to wire up and use
You can turn on and off what you have connected to each port

The monoprice outdoor speaker volume control should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. This is a perfect solution to connecting eight ceiling speakers (unknown ohms, 16 gauge wire) into one Sonos Amp. It works well, knobs are tight and volume increments are good, easy to setup, and a nice hefty unit. It is rated at 100 watts at 8 ohm loads. It is used for connecting up to four pairs of 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers, while maintaining a safe impedance load for your amplifier or receiver.
The unit is hefty for its size meaning it should have a good size internal transformer for impedance protection and doesn't seem to reduce the amplifier power output in any significant way. There are button switches between the knobs that activate/deactivate each zone. The product itself is heavy, construction on the outside is non-obtrusive and feels substantial.
Why We Like This:
Wonderful to have a full fader control for 4 independent sets of speakers
Easy to install & functions perfectly
Easy to hook up and easy to use
Don’t have to worry about impedance matching and requires no additional power

The monoprice one room is suitable and reliable and fits well with your daily usage. This is only a switch to control two (2) sets of stereo speakers. It allows you to have two different amps as inputs and two different sets of speakers. It is built to accept inputs from two amplifiers and can distribute audio up to 4 sets of speakers. The volume control is especially nice when using two pair of speakers of different efficiency ratings. It is a quality piece of gear and performs well.
The unit has a good feel and the switches and volume controls have a nice action. It allows full volume control and selection in either separate or both locations. It is best if you strip your wires and tin them with solder.
Why We Like This:
Transformers balance impedance and allow attenuating volume
Nice speaker switcher with volume control for each of 2 sets of speakers
A great low tech solution to add additional speakers to an audio setup
Great product to use for 2nd zone off your receiver

The pyle outdoor speaker volume control's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. The slide is more responsive than any rotary knob i've tried and there's a definite distinction between volume settings, another plus as most rotary knobs seem to skip volume, like 1-3, 3-7, just not accurate. It features up to 100 watts of load handling power. The slide is firm and responsive through all volume levels. It makes it simple and easy to direct your home amplifier to your speakers.
The included decora-style wall mount plate frame cover means this controller will unobtrusively blend into your wall and allows for a clean installation on your walls. The nice thing about it is that it looks just like a light switch, so it seems completely natural in any room or basement. These work really well and look great.
Why We Like This:
Suitable companion for hi-fi four-pair speaker selector
Very good feature to add on to the sound system to separate zoning

If you are searching for a satisfactory control for your daily usage, audioflow volume control is the ultimate decision. It is carefully designed to be a convenient and safe way of switching between multiple speakers in a typical domestic multi-room audio system. It is great, easy to add/connecting speaker wires. It holds the last setting when powering off then on. This unit supports 4 speakers. It has that same functionality but has much better speaker connections that plug in making it easier to do connections in a tight space.
The Audioflow Speaker Switch is not a source and does not include Airplay support itself. It does feel solidly built fwiw. It has a design that is better audio quality than switches which use transformers or resistors.
Why We Like This:
Connect up to four pairs of speakers to your stereo amplifier
You would be able to connect speakers in different areas
Simple to operate with a clear oled display and touch activated manual buttons
Control your speaker switch with the audioflow skill for the amazon alexa voice assistant

Audioflow is known for creating pragmatic and minimalist control for people on the go, and its line of audioflow outdoor speaker volume control definitely falls in line with that reputation. The Audioflow switch is carefully designed to be a convenient and safe way of switching between multiple speakers in a typical domestic multi-room audio system. It is perfect for connecting ceiling speakers, on-wall and in-wall speakers, bookshelf speakers and outdoor speakers to a single amplifier output. It is perfectly with the sonos amp to control a set of 4 wired ceiling speakers independently from each other by creating zones on the audio flow. The zones are turning on and off by themselves.
You can have multiple Audioflows on your Wi-Fi Network and the app will list all of the switches and zones it finds, but each Audioflow would typically need it’s own amplifier output.
