The OP doesn't understand "impedance", so this explanation means nothing
to
him.
I tried to find the user manual, but couldn't, and the RS page for this
product doesn't tell you anything useful. Thanks for posting this. What
surprises me is that some connections put the speakers in series, some in
parallel. Weird.
Russound used to make a speaker-selector box that kept the impedance
pretty
much constant, regardless of which speakers were connected.
One could build a speaker selector -- with a very simple circuit -- such
that whether you selected one, two, three, or four speaker pairs, the
impedance would stay constant. I ought to patent it.
