SKU: OSD-SSVC6D
OSD SSVC6D6x Zone 2x Source (Master A/B) Speaker Selector w/ 300W Volume Control, Impedance Protection
SAVE $20
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.

I need a speaker selection box, for six pairs, with impedance protection that handles banana plugs. Does OSD make anything?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Nicholas,
Our speaker selectors accept bare wire. Simply remove the banana plug and connect the bare wire to the terminals on the back of the SSVC6. We do not carry a speaker selector that accepts volume controls.

We have 22 speakers (11 sets) that put our 60 watts of power each or a total of 1320 watts. I see that this unit can handle 1800total watts. I know that input/output impedance can be a factor, but can we DOUBLE up the amount of speakers we put on each of the six audio sources? In other words, can this accommodate 12 sets of speakers (doubled up) instead of just six?
Thank you!

Hi Mark,
To answer you correctly, we need to know about the amp and speakers you plan on using. Please provide the model numbers or specifications on the entire system. Email: Casey@outdoorspeakerdepot.com

I have an Onkyo TX-NR708 receiver with 5.1 Polk Soundbar on Zone 1. My house is pre-wired with 5 speaker zones (measured impedance is 6 ohms). Can I connect this selector directly to Zone 2, and randomly control which zones (1 or many) zones are one, and the volume at each?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Jim,
Typically, a second zone, speaker level output (channels 6 and 7) of the 7.1 Audio/Video Receiver is meant to drive a single pair of speakers. That is why they add a pre-amp output (for Room 2 as well) to connect to an external two-channel amplifier when customers are planning to add a more demanding load like multiple zones/rooms. We recommend our AMP200 in conjunction with the SSVC6. The combination would be ideal and give you the control and reliability you want in a multiple room setup using an audio video receiver to do both home theater and whole house.

I have a 9-1 reciever and 12 channel Elan AMP.
I would like to have just music to the entire home using the Elan for power.
a couple of my speakers have a volome control in the wall, th others are not hooked up to controls.
All unhooked wires - speakers are fed to the area of my electronics.
I would like to use the elan and have a volume control at that area for all channels.
Please advise your recomendation(s).
Thanks.

Hi Franklin:
We do not have a dedicated Speaker Selector box that will work for your application. I believe you can create your own Speaker selector panel using our individual Volume Controls and Mounting brackets (we have brackets for 1, 2, 3, and 4 controls). These would be for the Rooms/Zones that do not already have a Volume Control wired in-line. You may need to purchase a Decora panel cover plate depending on the mounting bracket selected (1, 2, 3, or 4 hole opening). Since your application does not call for Impedance matching because, your zones are being powered by its own dedicated stereo amplifier (2 channels of the ELAN), We would recommend using out VKR120 kit which is a Resister Based Volume Control. In theory it has a broader Frequency Response and better overall sound quality. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

i purchased this to use with a sherwood RX-4105 amplifier which runs into the speaker selector and then out to 4 sets of Polk Audio OWM3 and 1 polk audio Atrium 4 speakers. All speakers are 8 ohm, one per channel. This is used in a resturant so the stereo runs from about 3pm to about 1pm.
So there are a total of 5 zones hooked up right now (1 empty) but the amplifier will shut off now and then. (What I assume is overheating.) The amp runs at 100w per channel according to the manual, is that enough for all these speakers? Do you have any other suggestions?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Skylar:
I do not believe the Sherwood is the best choice to drive the SSVC6 with five sets of speakers on its own. Its hard enough to connect two pair of 8 ohm speakers using the A & B connections and playing them both at the same time. What I would recommend is adding our OSD High Current Amplifier the AMP200 to the system using your Sherwood as a Pre Amplifier to connect your sources. You could either connect to the Tape Output of the Sherwood using a Stereo RCA interconnects (signal level). I believe the output is always active. Or you could connect the AMP200 to the Speaker Output of the Sherwood Receiver to the Speaker Level Input option of AMP200. The AMP200 will give you the consistent current needed to drive your system to its maximum potential. Right now I am afraid you are driving the Sherwood to protection. I would also suggest if you select the AMP200 option I would also switch out the SSVC6 for our OSD SSVC4 to drive your four pair of Polk Audio OWM3 from Speaker A. And then drive your Audio Atrium 4 speakers off Speaker B. I am assuming they will be outside where you could add a local Volume Control like our OVC300 in line to the speakers. You will find the SSVC4 has internal settings for the impedance matching that can be adjusted. The SSVC4 has the Dual Source as well. The AMP200 also allows you to add second source. Plus has a pre-amp output if you wanted to add a Powered Subwoofer. Please contact me if you need further clarification at tim@osdaudio.com.
