Installation and Connection Procedures
compatibility with all amplifiers, even when
The "+/-" polarity connections for the input and output
screw-type speaker terminals are clearly marked on
the rear panel. The modules which allow the wires to
be connected can be removed for ease of wiring.
Please connect the speaker cable to the appropriate
terminals. These terminals will accept up to 14
gauge speaker cable and we highly recommend utilizing
at minimum a 16 to 14 gauge speaker cable. Note:
Separate Left and Right ground paths ensure
used in bridged mode! Route the speaker cables from
each speaker zone and the amplifier to the DSSM
speaker selector. Strip 1/4" (6mm) insulation from the
end of the cable and twist the exposed end to avoid
fraying. Loosen the screw on the appropriate speaker
terminal and insert the stripped end of the cable into
the speaker terminal. Be sure to observe proper "+/-
" polarity when connecting the speaker cables. Re¬
tighten the screw to clamp the cable in place. Gently

Strip 1/4" or 6mm insulation from the 14-16 gauge speaker wire

VSS switchers have the ability to select between "A"
and "B" sources. There is an 8-position plug on the
left rear of the unit which is labeled "INPUT'. This is
where the speaker level inputs from the two sources
("A" and "B") are connected. Attach the wires in the
same manner as the speaker wires connect to the
outputs of the VSS unit (see above for details).
Note: Always insure that both source
components are unplugged and powered down
before making these connections.
Installation Precautions
The VSS2 and VSS4 comes shipped from the factory
set up for one pair of 8 ohm loudspeakers to be
connected to each zone. If you are using loudspeakers
other than 8 ohm the VSS Switchers can be set up in
the following manner.
The system is now ready for testing. Turn on the sound
system and set the amplifier's volume control to a
moderate level. Sound should be heard from each
zone when its button is depressed. Please check each
zone appropriately including proper left and right
connections by activating each zone with the balance
adjusted to full left and then to full right. If you have
connected two sources ("A" and "B") test each zone's
source switching by depressing the button on the front
panel. If the button is in the "in" position, the source
is "A". If the button is in the "out position, the source
is "B". If you have only one source connected, the
buttons should all be set to "A". Attach the custom
die-cut labels provided to the rectangular buttons of
the VSS2 or VSS4 referencing each button to an
appropriate zone within the installation.
