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 6 zones. One is the surround I intend to connect directly to the receiver. The other five will be powered by your amp 200. My existing five zones of speakers are wired as mono back to the av cabinet. If I output from the amp 200 in bridge mode to the ssvc6 300. (A). Will it work. And b if so should I bridge out from the ssvc6 from each zone to the speakers. Or just wire out from one channel of each zone to the speakers?

Hi Brian,
We believe you can do this by connecting the bridged output of the AMP200 (the two positive outputs from Speaker A labeled as Bridged outputs). Connect these two wires to the right input of Source A of the speaker selector. Then make sure all of your five speakers are connected to the right side output of zone 1 through 5. The speakers should see a bridged mono signal to each one directly passed through from the AMP200. Good luck!

Will this unit handle a powered subwoofer
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Jon:
The SSVC6D like all of our Speaker Selectors are passive devices that are connected by speaker (high) level connection using speaker wire. The only way you can connect to a Powered Sub woofer is if it has a right and left Speaker level input. If that is the case you can connect to any one of the six zones. If the Powered Sub woofer has only signal (low) level input it will not work with the SSVC6D.

I'm planning on using this speaker selector to power 5 zones of stereo speakers (all are 8 ohms) - total 10 speakers. They will be powered by zone 2 of Yamaha RX-A2010 (140W per channel). Will my receiver handle it? I'm planning only using it for background listening....
Thank you.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Remo:
Most AV Receivers recommend powering only a single pair of speakers with the second or third room options. We recommend going with either an AMP200 or AMP300 in combination with the OSD-SSVC6D. You will want and need plenty of power for five pairs of stereo speakers each connected to a dedicated Impedance matching Volume Control. Connection would be through either Room 2 or Room 3 Pre-amplified outputs. You also have 12 volt trigger connection between AVR and Amplifier.
The RX-A2010 is a beast it features 140 watts per channel for it appears 11 channels if completely connected. But all channels share a common Power Supply which is not set up to handle more than a single speaker per channel.

If I change a zone from a to b it only stay with the a source. do I alway need to leave source b on?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Rick,
Each zone only has an a/b switch, and no individual on/off switches. So, yes, you would need to power off the source. Only one source can be active at a time. If you are interested in having the ability to have both sources running on different zones, go with the SSVC4 and an SSVC2. Thanks.

Can i use the amp120 for this selector. Im just going to use it to here ambient music in a spa.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hugo,
This selector should only be used with a high-current amplifier, such as the AMP300. The AMP120 just doesn't have enough power to run multiple zones, even when low volume. Thanks!
