    Quick reference for the OEM Systems IW-101 "A/B" Speaker Switch, a decorator-style in-wall switch for selecting between two amplifier sources or two pairs of speakers.

    Overview

    The IW-101 is a heavy-duty, decorator-style steel switch used to select between amplifier source "A" or "B" playing through a single pair of speakers, or to switch a single amplifier's output between a primary and secondary pair of speakers. It's available in white (IW-101), almond (IW-101a), and ivory (IW-101i) to match standard decora wall plates. Independent grounds provide isolation between switched inputs. Only one pair of speakers can operate at a time.
