The Russound AB-1.2 is an in-wall A/B switch for rooms where one set of speakers needs to be shared. It can route a single pair of speakers to either of two amplifiers, for example a local stereo receiver and a whole-house distributed audio amplifier, or it can send one amplifier to either of two speaker pairs.
Switching is a single press of the front button, so family members or guests do not need to touch the equipment rack. Wiring terminates on detachable, colour-coded snap connectors that accept up to 14 AWG cable, making it easy to wire before the device is set in the box. The switch is rated for 150 watts RMS per channel and occupies a compact footprint inside the wall box (about 1.0 x 2.75 x 1.75 in). This SKU is the white version, and Russound covers it with a 10-year warranty.
