Frequently Asked Questions - S-4VC JobSite

How many speaker pairs can I connect to the S-4VC?

The S-4VC allows you to safely connect up to four speaker pairs to a single amplifier or receiver.

Can I use the S-4VC with a 4-ohm amplifier?

Yes, the S-4VC is compatible with all 4-ohm capable amplifiers or receivers. Ensure your amplifier can handle the total impedance load.

How do I set the impedance magnification switch?

Count the number of speaker pairs connected and set the Speaker Pairs switch on the rear panel to match: 1, 2, 3/4, or 5/6 (for S-6VC). For 4 pairs, set to 3/4.

What wire gauge should I use?

Use 2-conductor speaker wire. The removable connectors accept 10-22 AWG wire; 16-gauge is recommended for most installations.

How does the volume control work?

Each zone has a 12-step make-before-break rotary volume control. Turn clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease. The maximum attenuation is 54 dB.

Can I turn off individual zones?

Yes, each zone has an on/off button on the front panel. Press to turn on, press again to turn off. You can also turn the volume control fully counter-clockwise to mute.

What is the power handling of the S-4VC?

The S-4VC handles 100 watts per channel. It includes a built-in protection circuit to safeguard your equipment.

Does the S-4VC require external power?

No, the S-4VC is a passive device and does not require AC or battery power. It operates solely on the audio signal from your amplifier.

How do I clean the S-4VC?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the unit.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

The speaker wires and amplifier wires must reach the proposed location of the S-6VC speaker selector. Mark the cables with Wire labels, describing where the cables originate from, rather than where they will terminate.

Tools Required

1/8" Slotted screwdriver

Wire stripper

Wire labels

INSTALLATION

1. Select an appropriate location for the S-4VC/S-6VC.
2. Run all the necessary wiring to the S-4VC/S-6VC. Label the wires for future reference.
3. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly twist the end of each wire until no frayed ends remain.
4. Locate the connector plugs and remove them if they are plugged in.
5. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole on the removable connector plug.
6. Use a small flathead screwdriver to tighten each wire in place. See Figure 2.

7. Insert the connector plug into the S-4VC/S-6VC socket and lock it in place, by tightening the screws on each side of connector.

8. Connect the receiver or amplifier to the connector terminal labeled AMPLIFIER.

9. Connect the speakers to the connector terminals labeled SPEAKERS. Be sure to observe proper polarity.
10. Locate the pre-printed Room Labels. Affix the appropriate label to the recessed area over each on/off selector button.

See installation diagram.

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

Calculating the Impedance Magnification Setting

Use the following instructions to select the correct switch setting for the number and type of speakers in your system.

1. Count the number of pairs of speakers you are connecting to the system.
2. Set the Speaker Pairs switch on the rear panel of the S-4VC/S-6VC to match the number of pairs of speakers (1, 2, 3/4, 5/6). See Figure 3.

OPERATION

1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set the volume to minimum.
2. Set the volume control for the speaker pair you wish to play to maximum (fully clockwise).
3. Locate the on/off button, which corresponds to the speaker pair you wish to play. Set it to the ON position by pushing the button in.
4. Turn on the amplifier or receiver and select as source, such as the tuner or CD player.

5. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. Be careful not to overdrive or "clip" your amplifier. If the sound becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of your amplifier's volume capability and should quickly reduce the volume to avoid damaging your speakers.

6. Using the appropriate volume control on the front of the speaker selector, adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired listening level.

7. You can turn off the speakers by turning the appropriate volume control on the S-4VC/S-6VC fully counter-clockwise, or by pressing the on/off button.
