Automatic Impedance Matching Speaker Selectors

Congratulations on choosing the NX-SS4/NX-SS6 Impedance Matching Speaker Selector
Like all NXG products,
of advanced engineering and state-of-the-art materials will provide you with a lifetime of
listening pleasure.

great care has been taken in its design. We hope the combination

.

Introduction

The NX-SS4 and NX-SS6 are resistor based, impedance matching speaker selectors used
for connecting four or six pairs of (4 ohm or 8 ohm) speakers while maintaining a safe
impedance load for your receiver or amplifier. Each pair of speakers can be turned on or
off independently in any combination, by the pushbuttons on the front of the unit, with­out concern for amplifier loading.

Features and Benefits

1. Connect and safely control multiple speaker pairs with one amplifier.

2. Automatic impedance protection circuitry engages without the need for user involvement.

3. Individual room on/off pushbuttons.

4. Heavy-duty screw-type connectors, capable of accepting up to 12 AWG wire, provide positive hookup to input and output wires.

5. Isolated left/right circuit grounds provide safe connection for amplifiers with floating grounds or bridged configuration.

6. High quality construction throughout provides excellent reliability, accurate noise-free switching, and years of trouble-free operation.

7. Intelligent design allows simple installation, easy connection, and trouble-free operation.

8. Rubber feet prevent scratching and keep selector in place during operation.

Wiring Instructions

Follow the suggestions that came with your receiver or speakers for determining the correct wire gauge needed to connect your NX-SS4/NX-SS6
speaker selector. Lay out all wire runs from each speaker location and your receiver to your selector. Remove the connector blocks from the
selector and make all the connections to the connector blocks as shown in Figure 1. (If your receiver or amplifier has both A & B outputs con­nect your NX-SS4/NX-SS6 to your receiver’s A outputs.) Pay close attention to make certain all strands of bare wire are completely inserted
into the connector properly and that no loose strands are outside the connector hole. Any loose strands could possibly touch another wire
and short the receiver’s output. After you have tightened the screw terminals to secure the wires, insert the connector block back into your
selector as shown in Fig 2.
