A/B SOURCE INPUT SELECTION
The XSS26100W provides the ability for two amplifiers to be connected and active at the same time.
Each speaker output can select either an A or B source input independently.
ON/OFF OUTPUT SELECTION
The XSS26100W provides the ability for each speaker output to be turned ON or OFF independently.
Though it is possible to also turn off a speaker output by turning the volume control to OFF, this
feature allows the speaker output to maintain its previous set volume.
VOLUME CONTROL
The XSS26100W provides a volume control with 11 steps of attenuation and an OFF position. Each
speaker output can be independently controlled.
- Turning the volume knob clockwise will increase the volume.
- Turning the volume knob counter-clockwise will decrease the volume.

ADJUSTABLE IMPEDANCE MATCHING
Determine the number of speaker pairs that are to be installed on one speaker output. Then, set the
speaker pair to that number.
INSTALLATION
1) Set adjustable impedance matching selector using a flat-head screwdriver. (see ADJUSTABLE
IMPEDANCE MATCHING for more information).
2) Connect each pair of speakers to the desired speaker output. It is a good idea for each
speaker output to be in the OFF position.
3) Connect the amplifier output to the either A or B input. Now set each volume control to the
input that the amplifier was installed to. (see A/B SOURCE INPUT SELECTION for more
information).
4) Set the amplifier or receiver to the lowest volume setting.
5) Set each volume control to the maximum volume setting (fully clockwise). Be sure each
speaker output is in the ON position.
6) Slowly increase the amplifier or receiver volume level until you reach the maximum listening
level desired.
7) Finally, lower the volume control level. Volume control setting is now complete.
LABEL INSTALLATION
1) Using the included labels, select the description that best matches your application.
2) Peel off the label and apply it to the XSS26100W. Be sure the surface is clean and dry.
