I have a Yamaha Receiver that I would like to use to hook up our XM, IPOD and turntable to and be able to play music to 6 different room in our house and this looks like the system to use, but would like some guidance on whether or not this is the right system?

Answer:
This system will work perfectly fine whether your Yamaha receiver has a low-level signal out or only a speaker level output. The AMP300 has multiple input connections to handle any application. It will also give you a second source option as well. This will provide plenty of power to the whole system.
OSD also has a number of affordable speaker options for in-wall, in-ceiling, patio or rock speakers. You can also add powered subwoofers to your system as well.

Would this system be available for interational install ie@UK /Hz 50Hz and is it considered to be "Marine Grade" for Ocean Side Home install.

Answer:
Hi John:
1) The High Current Amplifier included in this bundle is multi-voltage. But you need to specify that it is for 230V/50Hz when you order the kit.
2) You should have no problem using this amplifier in your home near the Ocean as long as it is istalled in the home.

Would this unit be suitable to accept a preamp line output from a stereo reciever and connect an ISS4 speaker selector to each of the AB speaker outputs to power 2 stereo speakers with volume controls in 8 zones?
If so, what would the package price be for the amplifier unit with one ISS4 and seven volume controls as I have purchased one volume control and one ISS4 unit from you previously?
By Customer Service - Q&A on November 10, 2011
Answer:
Yes, this amplifier is ideal for this application both for the line output from your receiver (plus you can add a second source at the amplifier as well) and to drive the (2) ISS4 speaker selectors while utilizing our impedance matching volume controls: one connected to speaker A and the second connected to speaker B.
Note: you will need to make sure the protection button on the two ISS4 selectors is disabled (in the off position). And if you connect a single pair of speakers to each volume control, you will set the impedance matching to 4x on each VC. If you add a second speaker in anyone of the zones, you will need to change the setting for all the volume controls connected to the common ISS4 to 8x. You can get away with having up to two pairs for all eight volume controls as long as you use the 8x setting where instructed and the protection switch of the speaker selector is disabled. The High Current AMP300 would have no problem driving this load.
Regarding question number two, we would offer you the same $499.95 price for the AMP300, (1) ISS4 and 7 each of the SVC100 volume controls
We also have a large selection of speakers for any and all applications, thanks for buying from OSD.
TL/MABy Chris from south carolina on February 19, 2012
I have a JVC receiver that receives RCA inputs from several sources and amplifies signal to two sets of speakers. I want to increase the number of rooms I have music in. The only output on the JVC are the two sets of speaker outputs, which are the push-button outputs that accept a bare speaker wire. Can I use speaker wire to connect one of these outputs to an input on the AMP300? What that means is connecting an amped signal to the AMP 300.
Thanks.

Answer:
Hi Chris:
The OSD-AMP300 accepts either a signal level (pre-amplified) or Speaker Level input (amplified). It is ideal for your application based upon your question. It takes the speaker level and converts to un-amplified then directs it back through the internal amplifier of the AMP-300. The unit features dual source inputs either two signal levels or one signal level and one speaker level. When you connect to the AMP300 make sure you connect to input #2. It will also give you a signal level output in case you might want to add a powered sub. The signal level outputs only affects whatever is connected to input number 2 wheter it is signal level or speaker level.

If I want to run 6 zones, can I just use a speaker switch rather than buying an amp too?
By Customer Service - Q&A on February 24, 2012
Answer:
Hi Bryan,
The speaker selector is a passive device, meaning it only distributes the power it receives and will not power your speakers. You would need an amp or receiver to power the speakers.
