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.

Will this unit work on a 500 watt amp?

Hi Mike,
This speaker selector has a peak of 300W, so the amp in question would be too powerful.

My Receiver is the RX-V3800
I have a main Theatre room with a Sub, Center, Front and back right and left. Outside two pairs or spekers wired as one.

Hi Scott,
Your amplifier has a speaker level output for your second zone, which I am assuming you have connected to your two pairs of outdoor speakers. You also have the option of connecting an external amp as well to drive the two outside pairs. Although I’m a little unclear on the end goal, you can use the SSVC6 to drive your current external outdoor speakers connecting a pair to each zone. That would leave you with four open zones to expand your system. Note this has six self-contained volume controls that you can adjust at the box. We offer other alternatives where we separate the speaker selector and volume controls so you can locate the volume controls in the actual zone. We do have outdoor volume controls for your application as well. If nothing else, you should probably have your two outdoor speakers connected to a impedance matching volume control. Right now based upon your information if the two speakers are connected in parallel, you are presenting a 4-ohm load to the amplifier which is making it work harder than it is intended to do. Check out our OVC100 Outdoor impedance matching volume control.

I know very little about wireless speakers. Is it possible to connect outdoor wireless speakers to the SSVC6?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Dan:
The Wireless Speakers need to have a Pre-amplified signal from the selected source. Something like a Headphone output connected with a mini 3.5mm RCA cable. The SSVC6 is connected to an Amplifier or Receiver after the signal has been amplified using speaker wire, four conductor (Right and Left +/-). The connection from the speaker selector is also done with speaker wire to the individual speakers. The wireless speaker features a Transmitter that has to be connected to the source with the audio cable plus it needs a Power Supply connected to an AC outlet. The Wireless Speaker features a Internal Wireless Receiver plus Power Amplifier that also needs a Power Supply connected to the main speaker and then the second speaker is connected by a hard wire that delivers power to both the Wireless Receiver and Power amplifier for that speaker. Only the Audio signal from the Transmitter to the Main and Secondary speaker is transmitted wirelessly. So the answer is no the SSVC6 Speaker Selector will not work with any of our Wireless speakers.
