Impedance Matching
Speaker Selector
Model: SS4, SS6, SS8

Introduction
The Audtek SS4, SS6 and SS8 are low-prole speaker selectors that allow
you to distribute a stereo speaker-level (amplied) signal to multiple
listening zones. These speaker selectors feature a manually activated
impedance protection circuit.The protection switch can be turned ON to
prevent the impedance to your amplier from dropping below 5 Ohms,
regardless of the number and impedance ratings of your speakers. The
protection switch can be turned OFF when used as part of a system
incorporating impedance matching volume controls, allowing you to
get the most out of your amplier.
The terminals on the rear of the speaker selector will accommodate up to
14 gauge cable; sucient for cable runs exceeding 100 feet. For shorter
distances, 16 ~ 18 gauge cable will suce. For in-wall installations, we
recommend using CL-2 or CL-3 rated cable for compliance with local
building codes. If unsure, contact you local building inspector. When
connecting a speaker and amplier, it is important to maintain polarity;
positive (+/red) to positive and negative (-/black) to negative. Be careful
to maintain correct polarity between the amplier, the speaker selector,
the volume controls and the speakers.
Installation
GRoute speaker cables from each listening zone to the speaker selector
