Adding Speaker Volume Controls
We recommend that you connect all your speakers to in-wall volume controls (like the Sonance VC60S/R) and then to the
speaker selector (see
‘Rooms 2 – 6’
in
Figure 2
, on page 3). This gives you independent volume balancing and control in all
speaker locations: Your receiver's volume control acts as the Master Volume, and each individual pair of speakers can be
either OFF, or ON at its own volume level, independent of the other speakers connected in the system.
Protecting the Amplifier
The speaker selector includes a Protection switch located underneath the selector, on the right side. To protect your receiver
or amplifier Sonance strongly recommends that you leave the Protection switch engaged at all times. Always operate your
receiver or amplifier within its rated power range and within the power range of the speaker selector.
• To ENGAGE the Protection circuit, slide the red switch towards the
back
of the selector.
• To DISENGAGE the Protection circuit, slide the red switch towards the
front
of the selector.

Automatic Internal Fuse
The SS6 and SS4 have an internal fuse that will disconnect all of the speakers if the current draw through the unit exceeds a safe
level. After the current draw returns to a safe level the fuse will automatically reset and re-connect all of the speakers.
