SS-4 Premium 4-Channel Speaker Selector
P/N 38157
Quick Install Guide
INTRODUCTION
The SS-4 Speaker Selector is a resistor-based, impedance matching speaker selector used
for connecting up to four pairs of 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers, while maintaining a safe
impedance load for your amplifier or receiver. Each pair of speakers can be independently
turned on or off using push buttons on the front panel, with no need for worrying about
amplifier loading.
FEATURES
Connect and safely control multiple speaker pairs with a single amplifier
Automatic impedance protection circuitry
100 watts RMS per channel power capacity
5-ohm minimum amplifier impedance with four 4-ohm speakers selected, 6-ohm
minimum with 8-ohm speakers
Supports 12-16 AWG speaker wire
Individual zone on/off buttons
Heavy-duty screw-type connectors
Isolated left/right circuit grounds provide a safe connection for amplifiers with
floating grounds or bridged configurations
Accurate, noise-free switching

INSTALLATION
1. Refer to the manuals for your amplifier and speakers to determine the correct wire
gauge to use with the speaker selector.
2. Lay out all wire runs from each speaker location and your amplifier to the selector.
3. Remove the connector blocks from the selector and connect
them to the wires, as shown in the image to the right.
Carefully inspect the connections for any stray wire strands.
4. Insert the connector blocks back into the selector.
