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.

Does this come with rack mount hardware?
Do you have something similar that is

Hi Rich,
Just as with the DSSM8, there are no specific rack mount ears packed with either of these products, however you can buy shelves for racks that will allow rack mounting without the rack ears. There may be some universal rack mounting kits as well. You should find some good results with a quick Amazon search. Thanks!

My house is pre wired and I cant get any sound once I hook up from the amp. Does the main volume have to be turned right up. I connected from the left and right main source. Not sure what I am missing
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Collin,
What kind of amplifier are you running to the SSVC6 selector? Typically you want to have a high current amp running this many zones, so that enough watts are going to each speaker. The volume knobs on the selector are simply attenuators, so they're not adding any volume/power, only resisting it. This unit is dual-source, but only one source can run at a time, not both simultaneously, so you want to make sure they're all set to "on" and that your chosen source is active and playing. Let us know if that answers your question. Thanks!

I have 7 zones/pairs of speakers, do you have a speaker selector similar to the SSVC6D for 7 or 8 speaker pairs with individual volume controls?
If not, can I connect 2 sets of speakers to one of the switches on the SSVC6D?
Thanks, Curt

Hi Curt,
The best thing for you to do is to run two SSVC4 speaker selectors, one from each zone off the amp. What amp are you using?

I have 6 pairs of speakers I would like to hook up to one reciver . Will this unit be able to do that? And what would be a good reciver to do this?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hello Patrick,
Yes - you would just need a powerful enough amp to run this amount of speakers. Use our AMP300. In fact, I would recommend running two smaller speaker selectors rather than one 6-zone, as our AMP300 has 2 zones, each with 150 watts. Thus, you can run an SSVC4 on zone A of the amp, and an SSVC2 on zone B of the amp, for a total of 6 zones (pairs) but twice as much power as you would get running all on an SSVC6 on one zone of the amp.
Harold • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
I am looking for a speaker selector with volume control to pair with my amp. Each zone will have a 2 or 4 ohm load placed on it. I see that the SSCV6D is rated for 300W. I am wondering if this will work with the loads I am applying to the system. If not do you have a solution that would work for my system?
Below are the specs for the amp.
2 channel amp:
2Ω Dual (per channel) 1,050W
4Ω Dual (per channel) 650W
8Ω Dual (per channel) 375W
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Harold,
Are those the specs for your amp? If so, it looks like you'd have far too many watts at a 2ohm load and 4ohm load. Unfortunately 300-400 watts total would be the max any of our higher-end speaker selectors can handle, so it may not be a good idea to run a selector with that amp. Usually our customers run our AMP200 and AMP300 with multi-zone audio.
