Note: With the SS6VC (not shown), you can add up to 2 more rooms.
PLACEMENT
Because the SS4VC and SS6VC both contain resistors which consume power and dissipate current in the form of heat, the unit should be placed in a location that won’t heat other source equipment and where there is good ventilation. If placing it in an enclosed cabinet or between shelving, make sure there is adequate space (at least two inches) on all sides and between the top of the switcher and any shelving, cabinetry, or components placed above it. A fan may be needed to draw air through the cabinet or shelving unit if components get too warm. We recommend that you do not place the unit on top of your receiver or amplifier.
Since your SS4VC and SS6VC will be used as a central switcher for multiple speaker pairs, it should be easily accessible. When placing it with other electronics, the SS4VC and SS6VC should be placed in a location that will accommodate the mass of speaker wires that will be connected between it, the speakers, and receiver or amplifier.
WIRING
IMPORTANT: Always use high grade speaker wire such as Sonance MediaLinQ™. We recommend 18 GA wire for runs of 50 feet or less, 16 GA for runs of
A. Source Connection:
1.Connect the left speaker output of the receiver or amplifier to the left INPUT connector of the SS4VC/SS6VC (see diagram above). Make sure that the positive (+) terminal of the receiver or amplifier connects to the positive (+) terminal of the input connector of the SS4VC/SS6VC. The negative
2.Repeat step 1 for the right side, connecting the right speaker output of the receiver or amplifier to the right INPUT connector of the SS4VC/SS6VC (see diagram above).
B. Speaker Connection:
1.With appropriate speaker wire, connect the first pair of speakers to the left SPEAKER 1 connections on the back of the SS4VC/SS6VC. Make sure the speaker positive (+) is connected to the SS4VC/SS6VC positive (+), the speaker negative
2.Repeat step 1 for the remaining speaker pairs.
FRONT PANEL OPERATION
Operation of the SPEAKER Buttons:
To engage any pair of speakers, push in the button which corresponds to the pair of speakers you want to turn on. The “in” position means the speakers are on.Any combination of the speaker pairs may be played at once. To disengage any pair of speakers, push in the button which corresponds to the pair of speakers you want to turn off. The “out” position means the speakers are off.
Note: A slight decrease in volume may occur when additional speakers are engaged.
