Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Monoprice ssvc-4. It's plenty loud and sound quality is good. Very satisfied with the switch.

Heavy metal box, great long term value. Construction on the outside was non-obtrusive and feels substantial. We've had not complaints about how it works.



Cons

There’s no volume control in any of the rooms. The knobs are just there to make the unit look better than it is. You can’t turn the unit on or off from any one room. The only knob you can turn is the volume knob.

I carefully researched the options and reviews and picked the monoprice.


That is different from many other inexpensive speaker selectors with volume control.
