OSD SSVC6D6x Zone 2x Source (Master A/B) Speaker Selector w/ 300W Volume Control, Impedance Protection
The SSVC6D dual source 6-pair speaker selector with volume controls is one of our most popular models because it's the perfect fit and price for a wide range of distributed audio systems and includes features found on selectors that cost three times as much. Made of high quality metal cast construction and compact enough to fit tablet top, this versatile speaker selector connects six pairs of speakers or 12 speakers total and puts you in control of which zone to play and at what volume level. Compatible with all high-power amps up to 300W, the front-mounted master A/B switch allows you to toggle between two audio sources; for instance, switch from music streamed from your tablet or receiver with just a push of a button.
Features:
- Dual source speaker selector that distributes audio from a high current amplifier to up to six pairs of speakers or six separate zones
- Includes individual volume control knobs to raise or lower the volume of each listening zone
- Front-mounted master A/B switch lets you turn sources either on or off
- Play one pair, a combination of pairs, or all six pairs simultaneously and adjust the volume to suit each zone
- Impedance protection allows a single amplifier to safely power several pairs of speakers
- Autoformer-based operates more efficiently than resistor-based selectors
- Compact table top design or fits inside cabinets and equipment racks
- Six individual zone on/off slotted buttons for easy labeling
- Removable input/output connectors provide hassle-free hook-up
- Compatible with all high-current amplifiers up to 300W
- Accepts up to 14-gauge speaker cable
- High quality metal construction
This durable 6-zone speaker selector will accommodate many distributed audio systems and is limited only by your imagination. Control your outdoor rock speakers and patio system with outputs 1 and 2, dining room and kitchen speakers with outputs 3 and 4, etc., to create a professional-level whole house system. The SSVC6D is also well suited for commercial applications such as restaurants where the bar area may have higher volumes than the dining rooms and restrooms.
Impedance-Matching Protection Safeguards Amplifiers
To help protect expensive audio equipment, this 6-zone high-power speaker selector includes impedance-matching frequency protection circuitry that reduces subsonic signals so you can safely drive multiple pairs of speakers without going below the amp's impedance ratings which can cause it to overheat or shut down.
Designed for Ease of Use and Installation
Connecting 12 speakers is a tedious and frustrating chore which is why the SSVC6D includes removable input and output connectors that accept up to 14-gauge speaker cable. The heavy-duty connectors unplug from the back so you can strip and insert the wires systematically without confusion of what speaker wire is going to what zone. For added convenience, the individual on/off buttons are slotted so you can label each of the listening zones.

I have a 7.1 theater system. The receiver's power output is 20 Hz - 20 kHz/THD=0.08%: Theater front has a center, a L&R and 2 subwoofers. A surround L&R is in back of room and 2 surrounds in L&R ceiling (8 ohms, 110 Watts/Channel and 6 ohms, 140 Watts/Channel).
Aside from the theater room, there are 3 additional sets of speakers (weight room, bar area and outdoors). I am looking for a speaker selector which will handle this system. Obviously, the SSVC6-D300 can accommodate the 3 zones but I have other questions.
1. Will the SSVC6 - D300 handle my receiver?
2. If not, Is there another speaker selector more appropriate for my system?

Hi Terence,
The SSVC6-d300 is compatible with your receiver; however, driving six additional pairs may be beyond your surround sound capability. To ensure that all the zones are receiving enough power, you may need to add an additional amplifier.

I have 5 zones (basically 5 rooms in a restaurant of which each room has 2 pairs of speakers maximum), I also have two amplifiers Sony STR-DG500 and Yamaha RX-V365. I am simply looking to control volume levels and possibly turn off a room when necessary. Will the SSVC6 work for my application? An I able to turn off one zone or do we simply turn volume down.

Hi Peter,
I’ll need a little information to provide the help you need. Are all the speakers installed and you’re trying to work with what you have or are you starting from scratch? The two receivers you mention are Audio Video Surround sound receivers that certainly can be used for 2-channel stereo. How are they being used now? Can you provide a drawing of your layout where you note all the current or proposed locations for the speakers and equipment? I would be more than happy to help you with your project.

Will this work with only 4 pairs of speakers now until I upgrade to 6 pairs later, or will it have issues running like that?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Tim,
Having the volume control on the unit is a compromise. For your application with 4 zones now and 2 later, I would recommend going with the DSM6 and having 6 in line volume controls like the SVC300.

Do you still carry Dual Input of this unit?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Robert,
This unit has been modified to single source. The DSM6 has a dual source speaker selector but it does not have volume control for the zones.
