SKU: OSD-SSVC6D
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.

is this a current model ?
i usually see this as a ssvc6 ....not with a d

Hi Mark:
The SSVC6D is the latest version. It replaced the original SSVC6 model which had a problem with the A/B source switch which each zone had similar to our SSVC4 and SSVC2. We decide to make the new one with only a Master A/B switch which limited the option of being able to listen to different sources (A or B) at the same time. Now you are limited to either A or B not both at once. But reliability was dramatically increased and cost reduced.

Looking at purchasing a SONOS Connect AMP and using this 6 pair speaker selector to control 5 pair of (a total of 10 individually) speakers. Looking at either the 6.5" ICE640's or MK650's - 3 pairs of either or, ICE600WRS - 1 pair, and Yamaha NS-AW150 - 1 pair. Will this setup work? I guess I'm most concerned with the speakers being driven properly from the SONOS through this speaker selector. Help? Thanks in advance. P.S. If you can also shed insight into the 6.5" speakers that would also be much appreciated!

HI Michael:
The SONOS Connect Amp should work well with the SSVC6D Speaker Selector with six individual internal Impedance Matching Volume Controls. Between the MK 650 (our top of the line 6.5 inch In-Ceiling speaker) and the ICE640 both are very efficient (92 dB vs 91 dB) so they don't take a lot of power to drive them. The MK 650 goes lower 28 Hz versus 38 Hz. If you are looking for more power and additional features you can go with a SONOS Connect and combine with our AMP200. You also can add additional SONOS components to rooms that may not have any speakers and strengthen your mesh network. Note: You used to have to connect at least one of the SONOS components to your router for it to connect.

Do you sell replacement "clips" for the back?

Hi Jacques:
Please call our RMA department about replacement parts. I believe you will have to pay freight for them to send a couple of replacements.

I am planning on running 4 sets of speakers through an Onkyo TX 8050 receiver for background music in a medical office. Is the SSVC4 well suited for volume control of these 4 pair and is the receiver a good fit? I plan on playing internet radio, sirius radio and from an I-pod.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hello Steve,
The SSVC4 is built to run 4 separate pairs of speakers and give you on/off control plus volume control on each zone. Typically it's recommended to run with a high-current amplifier such as our AMP200, but in some cases can safely run off a receiver. It would help if your receiver can handle lower than 8ohm loads only. If it can handle a 4ohm load, that would be good.

i just purchased the SSV6 speaker selector from OSD and cannot get it to work with a Pioneer VSX 42. have looked up the input from the B speakers into the SSV6 and cannot get any sound. please advise.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Speaker selectors are only intended to be run with high-current amplifiers such as our AMP300. Standard receivers are usually only built to run at 8ohms. When you have that many speakers running off the same load, the impedance drops down below 8ohms and can be unstable for receivers not rated to handle lower impedances.
