Labeling the front of the Speaker Selector
(See Diagram 4)
There is one set of adhesive labels included to be used on the front of the SS4VC. These labels make it easy to identify which area
has been selected when the button is depressed. There are indentations above each button on the front of the Selector. Place
the appropriate label into each of these locations. If you can't find the label you need, you can create your own by writing on one
of the blank labels using a pen or small marker.
OPERATION
Understanding the Protection Circuit
To prevent damage to your amplifier or receiver, the SS4VC features protection circuitry. When engaged, the protection feature
prevents damage from occurring to your amplifier or receiver.
When to Use the Front Mounted Protection Button
The front Protection button
(See Diagram 5)
should be engaged under the following circumstances to best protect your amplifier
or receiver. Protection is ”ON” when the button is depressed:
Speakers Selected
Front Protection Button
1 or 2 pairs of 8Ω speakers
OFF
3 or more pairs of 8Ω speakers
ON
1 pair of 4Ω speakers
OFF
2 or more pairs of 4Ω speakers
ON
A combination of 4Ω and 8 Ω speakers
ON
When to Use the Rear Mounted Protection Switch
On the back of the selector there is a slide switch labeled ”Continuous Protection”
(See Diagram 6)
. When this switch is in the ”ON”
position, it will override the front Protection button and assure that the protection circuitry is always on, no matter what the
position of the front button.
This switch should be placed in the ”ON” position if you are concerned that someone
unfamiliar with the system may fail to properly use the front protection button.
Selecting Speakers
To turn on a pair of speakers, simply depress the button associated with that pair.
Please take precautions to make sure that the amplifier volume is not set at a high
level before you depress the button.
Using the Volume Controls
1. Select a pair of speakers as described above.
2. Turn up the volume on the receiver or amplifier until it reaches your desired listening level. It should not be so high that your
amplifier sounds distorted, this could harm your speakers.
3. You can now use the knob which corresponds with the speaker pair you selected. Rotating the knob completely counterclockwise
will turn the volume off.
4. Control the volume of the selected pair of speakers or limit the maximum sound output of the selected pair if used in conjunction
with another, non-impedance matching volume control.
