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.

Hello, this product appears to be very similiar to one labeled Niles SSVC6 and sold by a large retailernwhose name begins with A. Is this produced by the same manufacture? Except for the power rating are they essentially identical? I'm just trying to understand the significant price difference. Thank you

HI Matthew:
These are out of different factories. You will also note our OSD SSVC6D features Dual Source that has a master AB switch on the front panel. It allows you to connect two sources but can only play A or B for all zones. The Niles also features selectable impedance settings on the rear panel. In order to access the impedance settings on our Speaker selector you have to remove the cover and physically change the impedance matching on all six zones. That might explain some of the cost difference but ours should be selling for 30% more, so its your call.
Note: Our four and two zone SSVC4 and SSVC2 feature dual zone selectable per zone so you can play both A or B per zone at the same time as an example you could be playing zone A on zone 1 and 4 while listening to Source B on Zones 2 and 3.

Does this unit require ventilation? I need to use it outside. Can it be mounted in a watertight and airtight container?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Peter:
Will it least be in the shade; heat is enemy number one to electronics? Are you setting it and forgetting it? can you tell me more what you are trying to accomplish? What are you connecting the six zones to? Will you be needing to adjust the volume levels? Or use the on/off switches?

Can I connect this SSVC6 to a Onkyo TX-8140 and leave all volume controls at max controlling volume at the receiver, but leaving the sixth switch OFF. I would like to add a duel cone speaker to my bathroom.
Thank you
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Gregory:
This SSVC6 will work perfectly for your Application. Note this device does not have a power supply it is totally passive. The 6 internal Volume Controls are Impedance matching where they actually Attenuate or turn the sound down. There is no gain, you are not turning the sound up but actually just turning the sound down as you turn the Volume Control's Rotary Knob counterclockwise. So when you say setting the VC to max controlling volume you're volume level are at its highest where the signal is no longer being diverted to the transformers. No problem adding a Dual Voice coil Summed Mono stereo speaker with a right and left input which connects to the left and right(+/-) connections (4 total).
Good Luck

My audio reciever is in room upstairs which control all 8 zones with hard wired connections. Is there a way to remote control this unit?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Rajiv:
That is a loaded question that has no simple answer. The only Speaker Selector that can be controlled remotely is out ATM7 which features an IR remote control and we supply Universal Remote codes as well. But this unit does not have any impedance protection so you would need to add an impedance matching volume control for each zone you connect. You mention 8 zones. The ATM7 is seven zones and the SSVC6D is 6 zones with the impedance Matching Volume Controls built in. Add to that which Yamaha Receiver are you connecting to? Most all Audio Video Receivers featuring a zone 2 output need to add a external power amplifier like our AMP300. Note if you are using a speaker selector with an impedance Matching Volume control like our SVC-205 with on off switch you would be able to control the each room from the room/zone itself. The ATM7 would also let you use the remote (but it has to see the IR sensor on the ATM7 front face plate.
Good luck
