User manual RUSSOUND SS-(4 & 6).2

[. . . ] When multiple pairs are engaged, impedance matching protection must be employed to protect the amplifier from damage. The SS-4. 2 and SS-6. 2 have this impedance matching protection built in, when selected by the Impedance switch on the rear panel. They also have built-in circuit overload protection that disengages the amplifier signal if it exceeds the limits of the selector. [. . . ] Press down the spring terminal tab of the SS-4. 2/6. 2 speaker 1 output and insert the wire. Connect the other end of the wire to each speaker, being careful to keep channel identity and polarity consistent. Repeat the procedure for each pair of speakers that will be connected to the SS-4. 2/6. 2. With external impedance matching volume controls Note: The recommended volume controls for the SS-4. 2/6. 2 are the Russound series LPTx and ALTx. Consult the instruction manual of the impedance matching volume control to determine the correct impedance matching settings to employ for the specific amplifier and speakers. Using 4-conductor speaker wire (16-12 gauge) connect one end of the wire to the speaker output of the SS-4. 2/6. 2. Connect the other end of the wire to the input connector of the impedance matching volume control. Using a section of 2-conductor (16-12 gauge) speaker wire, connect the wire from the output of the volume control to each speaker. 3 Speakers Speaker wire L+ OUTPUT LR- R+ L+ OUTPUT LR- R+ ALTx Impedance Matching Volume Control L+ INPUT LRR+ L+ INPUT LRR+ IMPEDANCE BYPASS IN Speaker wire SS-6. 2 IMPEDANCE 5 6 L+ LRR+ S P E A K E R S 3 4 L+ LRR+ S P E A K E R S 1 BYPASS IN 2 L+ LRR+ L+ LRAMPLIFIER R+ NEWMARKET, NH, U.

The labels are non-adhesive and slide into a groove machined into the aluminum front panel. This allows for easy re-assignment.
