Power Dynamics PDWS2 - 2-Way In-Wall Speaker Selector

Power Dynamics PDWS2 - 2-Way In-Wall Speaker Selector

The Power Dynamics PDWS2 is a wall-mounted speaker selector designed to offer a professional and discreet solution for managing multi-zone audio systems. This device allows you to control two pairs of speakers (A and B) independently or simultaneously, providing complete flexibility over your sound environment. Its flush-mount design and neutral white finish (RAL9010) ensure seamless integration into any wall, maintaining a clean and minimalist aesthetic. With simple push-button operation, selecting the audio source has never been so easy and elegant.

Built with a durable ABS front panel and designed to handle up to 100 watts of power, the PDWS2 is compatible with most home and commercial hi-fi amplifiers and systems. The package includes everything needed for easy installation, including a universal metal mounting box, brackets, and the necessary hardware, ensuring a secure and robust wall mount.

Main Features

• Two-zone control: Allows you to manage two pairs of speakers (zone A and zone B) from a single control point.
• Multiple configurations: Offers three push-button selection modes: listen to only speakers A, only speakers B, or both pairs (A + B) at the same time.
• Power handling: Supports a maximum load of up to 100 watts, making it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and passive speakers.
• Recessed and discreet design: It integrates perfectly into the wall, with a front panel that protrudes by only 7 mm, providing a professional finish.
• Complete installation: Supplied with a metal flush-mount box, fixing clips and screws, facilitating quick and safe assembly.
• Quality materials: The front panel is made of durable and resistant ABS plastic in white (RAL9010).
• Intuitive operation: The push-button system is easy to use and offers an instant response for changing audio settings.

Product Benefits

The PDWS2 selector simplifies audio management in any space. It allows you to create distinct sound environments, such as having music in the living room and on the patio, and activate them separately or together for a party. Its flush-mount installation eliminates the need for external boxes and exposed cables, contributing to a tidier and more aesthetically pleasing environment. Furthermore, its robust construction ensures reliable and long-lasting performance, making it a smart investment for any distributed sound system.

Use Cases

• Residential installations: Ideal for controlling sound in different rooms such as the living room, kitchen, bedroom or terrace, all from a single panel.
• Commercial environments: Perfect for shops, offices, restaurants or waiting rooms, where it is necessary to direct the background music to different areas according to the needs of the moment.
• Meeting and presentation rooms: Allows you to switch between different sets of speakers to optimize acoustics depending on the type of content being played.
• Studios and demonstration rooms: Facilitates quick and easy A/B comparison between two pairs of reference speakers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this selector require an external power supply?
No, the PDWS2 is a passive device. It operates using the audio signal from the amplifier, so it doesn't require any additional power.

What type of speaker cable is compatible?
It is compatible with standard speaker wire. It features screw terminals on the back for a secure connection of the wiring from the amplifier to the speaker wire.

Does it affect the sound or the system impedance?
As a passive selector, the device's insertion is virtually transparent. However, when both pairs of speakers (A+B) are activated, the total impedance presented to the amplifier will change (generally decrease). It is important to ensure that the amplifier is stable at the resulting impedance to avoid damage.

Can I use it with any amplifier?
Yes, provided that the amplifier's output power does not exceed 100 watts per channel and is compatible with the impedance of the speakers to be used.
