Fantastic time saver for running 70v distributed systems. Used these to run 10, 20, 30 speakers without an issue. Good build quality, and haven't had any problems so far. So easy to install our maintenance guys can do it!

Customer Q&A
Q
Would this work in a 70V commercial system?
A
Should work just fine in a 70 volt system. It is just a connecting block, no impedance matching. So if your wires are homer in then you could use this to connect them.

great for OCD wiring
Robert from Sioux Falls, SD on 2/25/2018
I bought two of these to connect six speaker zones in my house, with three zones on A and three zones on B. If I change my mind about which room should be on A or B, it's easy to pull the plug from one block and connect it to the other block. The previous homeowner used wire nuts to connect up to four speaker wires together, and the cabinet was a mess. I cleaned it up with these connecting blocks and also sorted out some mis-wiring along the way.
Pros: good connections, clear labels
Cons: none

Russound EZB-8 Connecting Block
Crutchfield customer from Scottsdale, AZ on 2/19/2017
Great Product for creating a clean wiring distribution for multi-room audio. I used with Russound xZone4 streaming amp and alt126 volume controls. Just make sure you set the proper impedance levels on the volume controls when powering multiple speaker sets from the same amp channel.

Great Connection Block

The product worked as described with the removable speaker connection points making the process a breeze. I wish running the speaker wire inside the walls was this easy.
