Our take on the Russound EZB-1SC

by Marshall Chase

This Russound connecting block lets you easily and neatly attach up to four pairs of speakers with impedance matching volume controls to a single stereo amplifier or receiver — perfect for multi-room audio applications. For wiring up to eight pairs of speakers to your stereo amp or receiver, add Russound's EZB-2SC expansion block.

The EZ-BLOCKS are designed for surface mount applications. Position them in an area close to the amplifier and volume control wiring. Secure each block to the mounting surface with four #8 x 1/2" screws (not included).

Custom-tailored advice — before and after you buy
Installing this modular block requires you to use impedance matching controls and to run speaker cable in your walls, unless your home is already pre-wired. Our Audio/Video Designers can help you map out the details. Plus, our tech support specialists can help you through your installation step-by-step.
