OSD Audio SSVC6D - Manual (Page 5)

INSTALLATION TIPS
5
• OSD Audio recommends using 16 AWG gauge stranded wire. For runs longer than 50’, 14 gauge is recommended.
• You can mix 4, 6, 8 and 16 ohm speakers.
• Since speakers have different efficiencies, more efficient speakers will sound louder than less efficient speakers. Select
speakers with the same efficiencies (I.e., sensitivity: a typical measurement is 90 dB/watt)
• Wire according to state and local laws. Most states or counties require in-wall speaker wire with a specific “CL” fire rating.
CL2 is for Residential only; CL3 is approved for both Residential and Commercial applications. This cable is available from
OSD Audio or consult your dealer.
• Keep the speaker wiring from running close to AC power wiring for safety and to avoid any noise pick up.
Make sure your receiver or power amplifier is turned off before
doing any wiring.
• When connecting wire, use a wire stripper and strip 3/8” of
insulation from the end of the wire. To avoid short circuits and
possible amplifier damage, do not strip too much insulation
from the wire.
·Tightly twist the end of the wire so that there are no frayed
wires.
• For wiring convenience, unplug connectors from the connec-
tor block. Verify that there are no wire frays. •Insert wire and
tighten the terminal screw using a small screwdriver. Connect
the wires from the speaker output from your receiver or
amplifier to the SSVC6D terminals marked AMPLIFIER. Pay
attention and connect the “+” output from the right front output
on the amplifier to the right “+” input on the SSVC6D and
connect the “-” output from your amplifier to the “-” input on the
SSVC6D. Likewise, connect the left channel wires to the left
input of the SSVC6D.
• Next, connect the wires from each of the speakers to the
corresponding connection on the SSVC6D. If you are using a
second amplifier, connect it to the AMP B terminal. Plug
connectors back into the unit. Warning: Be sure connectors are
plugged in correctly – do not shift over one pin.
