1. Introduction

The model SS-4 and model SS-6 provide independent control for up to four or six pair of speakers while maintaining a safe impedance load for the stereo amplifier. The SS-4 and SS-6 have a built in Automatic Impedance Protection System*. Each pair of speakers can be turned on and off in any combination without worry.

*When used with a 4 ohm amplifier

2. Features

•Automatic Impedance Protection. The Impedance protection will automatically be engaged without the activation of any separate switches.

•Printed room labels. Placed above each switch location to identify the room for that switch.

•High-quality PCB construction. Designed for long-term reliability and quality audio performance.

•Quality metal construction.

•Isolated left and right grounds for safe connection to bridge or floating ground amplifiers.

•Spring-loaded speaker terminals accommodate up to 12 AWG wire.

•Used with 8 ohm speakers. (See 4 ohm speaker Note).

•Power handling: SS-4 100W RMS Continuous. SS-6 70W RMS Continuous.

•Frequency response +0dB, -0dB @ 20Hz to 20kHz.

•Ten year parts and labor warranty.

3. Wiring Instructions

Wire the A output of your audio amplifier to the amplifier input connection of the SS- 4 / SS-6. Be sure not to connect any speakers to the B output of your audio amplifier, this will change the impedance or operation of the system. This wire connection should be made with 16 AWG to 12 AWG , 4 conductor wire. Strip off 1/4" of insu-

lation from the wire and tightly twist the copper

 

 

 

 

 

 

conductor so that there are no frayed strands.

SS-6, SS-4 specifications

The Russound SS-4 and SS-6 are multi-room audio distribution systems that have gained popularity for their efficiency, versatility, and superior sound quality. These systems allow users to enjoy music in multiple rooms without the need for several separate audio systems.

The SS-4 is designed to accommodate four source inputs and distribute audio to four different locations, making it ideal for smaller homes or apartments. The SS-6, on the other hand, offers the flexibility to manage six source inputs and distribute audio to six different zones, catering to larger homes or commercial spaces. Both systems are capable of controlling each zone independently, allowing users to play different music in each area or synchronize audio across all zones for a cohesive listening experience.

One of the standout features of the Russound SS series is its user-friendly interface. The systems come equipped with easy-to-use keypads and/or remote controls that allow users to adjust volume levels, select audio sources, and modify settings effortlessly. The keypads are designed to blend seamlessly into home décor while still providing intuitive control for the user.

In terms of technology, the SS-4 and SS-6 utilize advanced audio distribution methods that ensure high-quality sound throughout every zone. They employ a robust amplification system that efficiently drives speakers, providing clear and powerful audio performance. These systems are compatible with a wide array of audio formats and can easily integrate with other audio-visual components, making them a versatile choice for any setup.

Moreover, the Russound SS systems feature integrated zone controls that enable users to adjust bass, treble, and balance settings for each individual area. This customization ensures that the audio experience can be tailored to fit the unique acoustics and preferences of each room.

Another notable characteristic of the Russound SS series is its expandability. Users can easily add additional zones or sources as their audio needs grow. This scalability makes the SS-4 and SS-6 an ideal investment for audio enthusiasts who may want to extend their systems in the future.

In conclusion, the Russound SS-4 and SS-6 offer a comprehensive multi-room audio solution, combining user-friendly control, high-quality audio performance, and the flexibility to meet a variety of listening needs.
