S4dc & S8dc Multi-Room
Speaker Selectors
SpeakerCraft Multi-Room Speaker Selectors allow the operation of multiple pairs of speakers when using one
amplifier or receiver. Once the speakers are connected to the selector, individual pairs may be turned on or off as
desired using the push buttons on the front of the selector. One pair, all pairs, or any assortment of pairs may be
played. When engaged, a protection circuit allows the amplifier to operate safely, even when all selected speak-
ers are playing.
Installation utilizing Direct Connect makes wiring the selector to your speakers quick and easy. With a simple turn
of a screw, wires are solidly secured and a perfect electrical bond is created. The process is quick, simple, and
eliminates the worry of wires becoming loose.
INSTALLATION
Guidelines
• Use the Multi-Room Speaker Selectors only with amplifiers rated at 125 watts per channel or less.
• The Direct Connect connectors on the S4dc and S8dc accept wire up to 14 AWG. If you are not
sure about the gauge of the wire you intend to use, please consult your SpeakerCraft dealer.
• To avoid possible damage to your amplifier, pay careful attention to the section titled "Protection Settings".
• One set of adhesive area labels are included for identifying the locations of speakers on the front of the
Speaker Selector.
• Do not daisy chain (hook the outputs of one selector into the inputs of another) speaker selectors together.
• Do not connect impedance matching volume controls to the speaker outputs of the selectors. Standard vol-
ume controls, such as SpeakerCraft models VST60, VST60fc, VST45, VCR60 or VCR120, should be used if
volume controls are needed in the system.
Placement
The unique suction feet on the bottom of the selectors increase placement options and hold the selector
securely when buttons are depressed. The suction feet are designed to work well with a variety of textures that
cover the tops of other components.
