Luxman AS-55 Passive Speaker Level Switch

Effortlessly manage multiple speaker systems or amplifiers while preserving top-tier signal purity.

The Luxman AS-55 Passive Speaker Level Switch is a high-end, fully passive switching solution for audiophiles who value sonic transparency and build precision. Featuring 6N (99.99997% pure) copper internal wiring and gold-plated binding posts, the Luxman AS-55 allows users to connect a single amplifier to three sets of speakers, or switch between three amplifiers feeding one pair of speakers—all while maintaining perfect signal integrity.

With no active circuitry or power requirement, the Luxman AS-55 introduces no coloration, distortion, or dynamic loss. A heavy-duty 20A rotary selector provides secure, noise-free transitions between connections, and the rigid aluminum chassis ensures maximum isolation and durability. Every component of the Luxman AS-55 is designed to preserve full tonal balance, clarity, and current delivery, even with demanding high-power amplifiers.

The Luxman AS-55 is ideal for multi-room systems, A/B amplifier testing, or any application requiring precise, transparent switching between speaker or amplifier configurations. It supports bare wire, spade, and banana plug terminations for easy integration into any high-fidelity setup.
