It appears that this switch cannot handle this scenario: Speakers 1, 2 on Source A, Speakers 3 on Source B, and Speakers 4, 5, 6 off. Is that correct?
By Customer Service - Q&A on January 17, 2012

Answer:
Hi Mark:

This unit is meant to control six pairs of speakers (one for each zone) while offering the choice of sources, either A or B per zone as well. The Internal Impedance matching Volume Controls are setup for the worse case, all six zones playing full volume (no matter which source is selected for each zone). Based upon this when a zone or three zones as in your example are turned off the Selector should have no problem playing Source A in zones 1 and 2 and Source B in Zone 3. That would mean zone 4, 5 and 6 would be set all the way counterclockwise to the off position. What or where were you looking that lead to your question?

I have only a 100W per channel receiver and plan to purchase 6 pairs of MK840 Ceiling speakers that have a minimum power rating of 10W per speaker (175W max). My receiver has an A, B and A+B selector switch and will not be powering any speakers other than those hooked up through the SSVC6. Will I have sufficient power if I only hook up receiver output A to the A amp selector input? Or should I also hook up the receiver B output to the B amp input (and have 3 zones switched each to A and B)? Under the A only set up, am I pushing only 8.3W to each speaker (100W per channel / 12 speakers) or am I pushing 16.6W to each speaker (100W per channel X 2 channels (Left & Right) / 12 speakers). Thanks,
By Customer Service - Q&A on March 26, 2012

Answer:
Hi Brett,

The best connection is the SSVC6 connected to Speaker A from your current receiver. Most receivers want to operate at 8 ohm. Splitting the signal between A and B creates a 4-ohm load especially since the main load of 6 pair of speakers is powered through the speaker selector. The speaker selector utilizes impedance-matching volume controls that are set to work in a worst case scenario, such as all six zones playing at the same time. You will also have the option of adding a second source either from a second receiver or amplifier to the B input of the SSVC6. I believe the initial receiver should have plenty of output for your setup off the single speaker output. It should be worth a try (you do have 30 day satisfaction guarantee).

I have a receiver & stereo system which have a rated capacity of 750 watts of total output power. Will this unit handle the output power & if so, how many watts per channel can it take?
By Customer Service - Q&A on March 26, 2012

Answer:
Jorge,
This has a 100W per channel max. The SSVC6 d300 features six SVC 300 Watt per channel Impedance Matching Volume Controls one for each channel. You typically will be using 20% of your overall power on a consistent basis. So the SSVC6 D300 would be your best choice.

Can you simultaneously play from both audio sources to chosen speakers?
By Customer Service - Q&A on November 17, 2011

Answer:
Yes, you can play two sources at once. There is a single independent button for each zone allowing you to choose either Source A or Source B. As a example, Zones 1, 3 & 5 could be playing source A while Zones 2, 4 and 6 are playing source B all at the same time.

By Customer Service - Q&A on February 17, 2012

Answer:
Hi Charlie:

Yes this will work just fine. It does feature internal volume controls that help with the impedance matching with your DENON AVR. Plus the SSVC6 features a second source option switchable per zone. You also can choose to have a speaker selector like our DSM6 and add Impedance Matching Volume Controls (OSD-SVC-100 or VMS-100) which can be located in the actual zone locations. Either way you can add one of our speaker selectors wit or without internal Volume Controls. We can aslo offer you a number of speaker solutions at factory direct pricing.

By terry waller from madison,ind. on February 23, 2012
can this dual source also play both amps. same time, when all components are on source a. i wish to use both amps but not to split them this is all in one room and will allways be threw amp a. i would have gotton single imput sel. but couldnot find with adaquite volume cont. if so how can i safley make both inputs both amps play together by aux. in on sec. amp? all i am attempting is to patch second amp in as a slave bi/amp to three pr spk while main amp controls first three pair power boosting reasons i am doing this now without zone sel. works fine using front spk. out on main amp. to aux. in on sec. amp and sec. amp. in aux. mode my second amp needs do nothing but reproduce main amp output, stronger,it does not need to perform any other funtion seperatly. thank you for a prompt responce, as i have just rec. your unit and will not attempt hook up till hear from you, as unit has a very poor manual and is very vauge thanks again terry
By Customer Service - Q&A on February 23, 2012

Answer:
Terry,
You can power 3 of the zones, from one reciever and 3 zones with the other receiver by connecting
amp1 to source a, amp2 into source b- then putting half on A and half on B. But we do need some more infomation on your receivers. How are you connecting the two receivers?

This SSVC6 D100 controler would that be best paired with your AMP300 Amp or would a guy be better off using your SSVC6 D300 controller? I plan to power 5 pair of speakers.
By Customer Service - Q&A on April 23, 2012

Answer:
Dan,
The D300 would be more heavy duty so if you are driving 8" speakers go with the SSVC6D300.

Installed it in my garage to control the 4 ceiling speakers and the 4 outdoor speakers. Works just like it is supposed too. ZERO electricity needed. - Chris G

Works great for my in house sound system. I hooked up eight speaker, two set of pairs and the rest on their own. They sound great. - ffbatman

Excellent products at cheap prices. This is my third order from them. I now have speakers on my back patio, in my basement and in my livingroom. Theyre all coordinated with a speaker selector switch box that works great. - Michael

I recently added several pairs of speakers in the basement. I am using a 'regular' home theater SONY receiver to power 2 pairs (4 speakers total). Speakers are of different brands. None were connected in parallel. I was using output A (L+R) for one pair and output B (L+R) to other pair. Which should be a 'normal' connection. But, my receiver kept going to protector mode. Probably one set of speaker was lower impedance than what it can take. I bought this speaker selector which seemed to provide impedance matching (or atleast a knob where I can add some impedance, by keeping it in low setting). It worked like a charm. My receiver now plays happily and I have connected more pairs of speakers to this unit. Seems to function well. Very heavy for its size. - Ram

Easy to setup - Van

I've been very pleased with this product. It allows me to control 6 pairs of speakers from only one "Speaker Out" of my stereo/amplifier. Necessary - small flat-head screwdriver for screwing in the speaker wire. Also need some additional speaker wire to jumper from the amp to this unit. Easy to screw in the cables, and then insert the green "punch block" adapter back into the unit. This product also allows for "A" and "B" signals to be output discreetly to individual zones. I'm only using it for one (the A signal). - Hamburglar

Great product, solid performance and the best price in town! - Bryan

This is an excellent product for the investment. I am very pleased with it's quality and function. - Andrew

QUICK DELIVERY OF PRODUCT. PACKAGED WELL. - CAC

Just what I was looking for. I could not control the volume in each room from the selector I previous had. It did not have volume conrtol. I had one room louder than the other. Now I have added two other rooms and I love the sound all over the house when I need it. I also entertain a lot and this system is just what I need - charles

Great product for independently controlling the speaker volume in many different zones. Built solid. Only thing I would change is changing the speaker wire connectors to accept banana plugs (industry standard). - Patrick

Just installed the SSVC-6 on 12/16/07 and it works as advertised. The only thing I wish was the volume control was a smooth function switch. Ordering from this company was perfect. Received all the notices they advertise and received the product faster than expected. Great WEB site I will use this them again.... - Dave

Very Satisfied with the products, excellent prices. I ordered online on Sunday, they emailed shipping info on Monday, products were delivered on Tuesday. I will be buying from them again. - Andy

Product as ordered. Been installed about 1 wk now. So far, works great. Just a note, this should not be confused with Niles brand product of the same moodel name "SSVC-6" - Brenda

Price was fair and the product was exactly what I needed and works as described. Will do business with them again in the future. - Doug

The price was great. The product works perfectly and is as described. Will definitely do business with them in the future. - Steve

First Class web site! Great prices and products. Outdoorspeakerdepot is in a class of its own. - Mark
