Proficient Audio Systems SS8P User Manual

Guidelines
• Use the Speaker Selectors only with amplifiers rated at 125
watts per channel or less.
• The Removable Terminal Connectors on the SS8P and SS4P
accept wire up to 14 AWG. If you are not sure about the
gauge of the wire you intend to use, please consult your
Proficient installing dealer.
• To avoid possible damage to your amplifier, pay careful atten-
tion to the section titled “Operation” on page 3.
• One set of adhesive area labels are included for identifying
the locations of speakers on the front of the Speaker Selector.
• Do not daisy chain (hook the outputs of one selector into the
inputs of another) speaker selectors together.
• Do not connect impedance matching volume controls to the
speaker outputs of the selectors. Standard volume controls,
such as Proficient models VCS60, VC60SIR, VC60SL and VC60AW
should be used if separate room control is desired.
Placement
The suction feet hold the speaker selectors in place when but-
tons are depressed.

OWNER’S MANUAL
Proficient Speaker Selectors allow the operation of multiple
pairs of speakers when using one amplifier or receiver. Once
the speakers are connected to the speaker selector, individual
pairs may be turned on or off as desired using the push but-
tons on the front panel. One pair, all pairs or any assortment
of pairs may be played. When engaged, a protection circuit
allows the amplifier to operate safely, even when all selected
speakers are playing. Installation utilizing the Removable
Terminal Connectors makes wiring the selector to your speak-
ers quick and easy. With a simple turn of a screw, wires are
solidly fastened and a secure electrical bond is created. The
process is quick, simple and eliminates the worry of wires
becoming loose.
