SKU: OSD-SSVC6D
OSD SSVC6D6x Zone 2x Source (Master A/B) Speaker Selector w/ 300W Volume Control, Impedance Protection
Use Code 'OSDGIFT'
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
Professional-Level Whole House Audio at a DIY Price
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.

Does the ssvc6 actually have built-in amplifiers? The overview states it handles up to 300w amp receiver... thanks
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
The SSVC6 is a totally passive unit (there is no power cord). Note this unit comes in two versions. The one you are looking at features the SVC300, 300 Watt impedance-matching volume controls. It can handle up to 300Watts per channel. We also have a 100 Watt per channel version that features our SVC100 impedance-matching volume controls. It all depends on which amplifier/receiver you are using.

I would like to use the ssvc6 300 watt with my Hafler xl-600 amplifier to power 6 pair of speakers. I would either use 6, 4 or 2 speakers at a time. I have attached the relevant owner's info from Hafler for your advice on whether this ssvc6 will do a good job. If not, please let me know any suggestions. Thanks, Mark
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Mark,
I think this is a great choice, especially the 300 watt version. Each internal Volume Control is rated at 300 watts and is also impedance matching for setup of all 6 speakers connected and playing at once.

i recently purhased and hooked up this speaker selector to my Denon AVR-1912 that i also just purchased. i connected 1 pair of outside speakers and 2 seperate stereo speakers (also from OSD) to the selector 0n 3 different channels of the selector. i have to turn the volume control on the selector to almost the highest level before i can hear any sound and it is still very low. do you have any suggestions? is my amp rejecting the selector for some reason. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks

Hi Tee,
Based on your description, we have a few suggestions. First, to set up the Speaker Selector with Volume Controls you must turn your source off (the Denon AVR-1912). Then set all three volume controls to full “on” or as far as it will go clockwise. Then turn on your Denon receiver and adjust the volume on Zone 2 output to almost clipping. Now adjust the Volume Control counter-clockwise until your particular listening level is reached in each individual zone. Note that the volume control adds no gain; it attenuates from a maximum level to lower volumes.
If this does not work, you may also have an issue with only utilizing 3 of the 6 zones since the impedance matching setting of the internal volume controls would be 8x (the default setting for 5 to 8 speakers). If you are not planning to power the other three zones, you would be better off exchanging this unit for our four zone version the SSVC4 which would be set at 4X.

I noticed this is 300W, but could it work with a 150W reciever? I was planning on upgrading to a more powerful reciever, but would like to use it for now with the 150W reciever. Also could this work with 12 ohms impedance speakers.(I have 2 sets of 3 - 4 ohms speakers wired in series so it could work on a regular house reciever) Would this be a problem??
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Jason:
You should not have problem using this with your 150W Receiver and it would be future proofed in case you go for more power.
Regarding the 4 speakers rated at 3-4 ohms that you have wired in series. If you have them wired as stereo pairs, two speakers for right channel and two speakers for left, I would think that would be considered a 6 to 8 ohm load. You could use those for one of the zones.
