Guidelines
• Use the Multi-Room Speaker Selectors only with amplifiers rated at 125 watts per channel or less.
• The Direct Connect connectors on the S4VC / S6VC accept wire up to 14 AWG. If you are not sure about
the gauge of the wire you intend to use, please consult your SpeakerCraft dealer.
• To avoid possible damage to your amplifier, pay careful attention to the section titled "Protection Settings".
• One set of adhesive area labels is 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 SpeakerCraft models VST60, VST60fc, VST45, VCR120, VCR60 or VWS60, should
be used if additional volume controls are needed in the system.
Placement
The unique suction feet on the bottom of the selector increases placement options and holds the selector
securely when buttons are depressed. The suction feet are designed to work well with a variety of textures
that cover the tops of other components.
SpeakerCraft’s S4VC / S6VC Multi-Room Speaker Selectors with Volume Controls allow the operation of
multiple pairs of speakers when using one amplifier or receiver. Once the speakers are connected to the
selector, individual pairs may be turned on or off as desired using the push buttons on the front of the
selector. A separate volume control for each pair allows the ability to control or limit speaker volume
right at the selector. When engaged, the rear protection switch ensures safe operation, even by those
unfamiliar with the system.
Installation utilizing Direct Connect makes wiring the selector to your speakers quick and easy. With a
simple turn of a screw, wires are solidly secured and a perfect electrical bond is created. The process is
quick, simple, and eliminates the worry of wires becoming loose.
