Russound SS-6 - Manual (Page 2)

1. Introduction
The model SS-4 and model SS-6 provide independent control for up to four or six
pair of speakers while maintaining a safe impedance load for the stereo amplifier. The
SS-4 and SS-6 have a built in Automatic Impedance Protection System*. Each pair of
speakers can be turned on and off in any combination without worry.
*When used with a 4 ohm amplifier
2. Features
• Automatic Impedance Protection. The Impedance protection will automatically be
engaged without the activation of any separate switches.
• Printed room labels. Placed above each switch location to identify the room for that
switch.
• High-quality PCB construction. Designed for long-term reliability and quality audio
performance.
• Quality metal construction.
• Isolated left and right grounds for safe connection to bridge or floating ground
amplifiers.
• Spring-loaded speaker terminals accommodate up to 12 AWG wire.
• Used with 8 ohm speakers. (See 4 ohm speaker Note).
• Power handling: SS-4 100W RMS Continuous. SS-6 70W RMS Continuous.
• Frequency response +0dB, -0dB @ 20Hz to 20kHz.
• Ten year parts and labor warranty.
3. Wiring Instructions
Wire the A output of your audio amplifier to the amplifier input connection of the SS-
4 / SS-6. Be sure not to connect any speakers to the B output of your audio amplifier,
this will change the impedance or operation of the system. This wire connection
should be made with 16 AWG to 12 AWG , 4 conductor wire. Strip off 1/4" of insu-
lation from the wire and tightly twist the copper
conductor so that there are no frayed strands.
Press the spring terminal tab inward and
insert the wire. Note that the amplifier left,
right + and - output must be correctly con-
nected to the left, right + and - of the SS-4
/ SS-6. Wire the speakers to the speaker
connections, again with the polarity of the
speakers correctly connected.
