The back story. I had bid on this country club installation but didn't get the job.
Skip forward one year.
The original contractor is under indictment for fraud (another client) and has skipped town.
I get a call from the club, some of their speakers aren't working. In the main dining room only 4 of the 12 ceiling speakers are working, in the second dining room none of the 4 speakers are working.
I start by taking down the first non-working speaker (Niles CM610) closest to the source and to my surprise, discover it only has two wires attached to it (not part of a 70v system.) It turns out, every ceiling speaker has a home run cable back to the source system. I test the speaker and it is fine. Further investigation yields the following discovery.
The system is comprised of the Denon AVR 689 tuner/amplifier which supplies 80w per channel. The main dining room is on channel A and the smaller dining room is on channel B. Each channel's output is fed into a Niles SS-6 speaker selector. It appears most of the SS-6's channels have become inoperative.
My question is: What approach would you take to make the system operative.
