Introduction The Sima speaker selectors have been designed to let you add additional speakers around your home or office and turn them on and off without purchasing additional amplifiers.
Typical Hook up The diagram below shows a overview of a typical system with the SSW-6 using 6 speaker pairs. Figure 3, Overview of typical system (SSW-6 shown) Installation Tips • • • • • It is recommended to use 18 or 16 AWG gauge stranded wire. For runs longer than 50’, 14 gauge is recommended. You can mix 4, 6, 8 and 16 ohm speakers. Since speakers have different efficiencies, more efficient speakers will sound louder than less efficient speakers.
• Push the tab and simultaneously insert the wire into the correct hole. • Verify that there are no wire frays. Connect the wires from the speaker output from your receiver or amplifier to the SSW-4/6 terminals marked AMPLIFIER. Pay attention and connect the “+” output from the right front output on the amplifier to the right “+” input on the SSW-4/6 and connect the “-” output from your amplifier to the “-” input on the SSW-4/6. Likewise, connect the left channel wires to the left input of the SSW-4/6.
Refer to your amplifier or receiver’s user manual or on the rear panel of the amplifier to determine the minimal speaker impedance that your amplifier can handle.
Trouble Shooting Problem No sound One or both speakers turn off when music is playing Slight drop in volume when PROTECTION is turned on Unit gets very hot Solution Make sure correct speaker is selected. Make sure no wires are touching each other or the case of the amplifier or SSW-4/ SSW-6 selector. Reduce volume level and unit will automatically reset. Internal protection circuit is detecting overload or excessive volume level and is shutting off speakers.
