6 Zone Speaker Selector With Amplifier Protection

The Vanguard Dynamics SS-6 is a high-quality and convenient speaker selector that allows you to connect up to six pairs of speakers to a receiver or amplifier and play any pair, any combination of pairs or all pairs at the same time.

Amplifier Protection

The Vanguard Dynamics SS-6 ensures that you will not overload your amplifier, as protection circuitry is built in. The amplifier protection switch should be enabled whenever more than one pair of speakers are used together.

Installation

The removable connectors allow you to terminate speaker wire easily to the speaker selector. Please see figure 1 for typical installation and typical installation with the addition of volume controls.

1. Turn power to “OFF” on all equipment before proceeding.

2. Strip back 1/4” of insulation from each wire that is to be connected to the connector. Twist the exposed wires tightly so that there are no stray strands.

3. Connect the wires going into each speaker to the connectors, making sure to maintain proper polarity.

4. Once all wires have been inserted into the connectors, visually inspect each of your connections to ensure that there are no stray strands that might short and that there is not an excessive amount of exposed wire outside of the connector. Also be sure that the connector is tightened down on bare wire and not insulation.

5. Install the connectors onto the back of the speaker selector. The connectors are “keyed,” so that they can only be inserted the correct way.

6. Repeat for each speaker pair required.

7. Connect the wires from your amplifier or receiver output to the amplifier output connect on the back of the speaker selector.

8. If you are connecting more than one pair of speakers, the amplifier protection button should be turned on.

9. Turn power “ON” for all associated equipment and test to make sure it is functioning properly.
