1. With any and all amplifiers and sources turned o, connect the speaker
wire to the appropriate “+/-“ terminals of each speaker
2. Route the speaker wires from amplifier or receiver to the speaker selector.
The terminals on the speaker selector accepts up to 14 gauge wire
3. Strip ¼” insulation from the end of the speaker wire and slightly twist to
avoid fraying
4. Press to open the appropriate spring-loaded speaker selector terminal
(INPUT) and insert the striped end of the wire into the proper terminal.
Make sure the proper “+/-“ polarity is maintained when connecting the
speaker wires
5. Next, with your source amplifier powered o, strip ¼” insulation from the
end of the cable. Make sure the + and – terminals are correctly identified.
6. To connect the speakers to the PA-SS4V press to open the appropriate
spring-loaded terminal (OUTPUT) and insert the striped end of the wire
into the proper terminal. Make sure the proper “+/- polarity is maintained
when connecting the input wires
7. Once everything is connected, you can begin testing. Turn on the sound
system and set the amplifier’s volume control to a moderate level. If each
zone is turned on, check each zone for audio and balance. If you are
having multiple sources connected, test each zone’s source switching

1. Determine the amplifiers minimum impedance capabilities. This is found
in the amplifier’s specifications. Please refer to the manufacturer’s manual
for this information
2. Identify the correct impedance matching from the charts below based
on whether you are using 8 ohm or 4 ohm amplifiers. If your amplifier is 6
ohm stable, refer to the 8 ohm chart
3. Determine the total number of 4 ohm pairs of speakers and 8 ohm pairs of
speakers
4. Follow the chart to apply the correct setting

SETTING THE IMPEDANCE
The impedance in the speaker selector is set to the factory default position
of X4 which is proper for most applications. If certain applications require the
impedance setting to change, simply switch the position of the Impedance for
that specific zone or for all zones that require dierent impedance.
