Operation

There are two ways to use the SS-4/SS-6. You may play one
pair of speakers at a time, or play multiple pairs simultaneously.

If you intend to play more than one pair of speakers at the
same time, you will need to become familiar with the opera-
tion of the SS-4/SS-6’s Protection button.

Wiring Diagram

Installation

1. Select a convenient mounting location for the SS-4/SS-6.

2. Run all the necessary wiring to the SS-4/SS-6. Label the

wires for future reference. See (Figure 2).

3. Locate the connector plugs (and remove them if they are 

plugged in). See (Figure 2).

4. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly

twist the end of each wire until no frayed ends remain. 

5. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your thumbnail to raise

the locking tabs, exposing the holes on the removable con-
nector plug.

6. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole on the removable

connector plug, and snap the locking tab down. 

NOTE: To help you avoid improper installation, the
connector plug is keyed.

7. Insert the smooth side of the connector plug into the

smooth side of the socket. Don’t force the scalloped side of
the connector plug into the smooth side of the socket. See
(Figure 3).

The inputs of the SS-4/SS-6  are the connector terminals
labeled “AMPLIFIER”. The outputs are the connector termi-
nals labeled “SPEAKERS”. Be sure not to reverse these con-
nections or the SS-4/SS-6 will not function properly.

8. Locate the pre-printed Room Labels. Affix the appropriate

label to the recessed area over each on/off selector button.
