Niles® SS-4 Four-Pair Speaker Selector (100 Watts/Channel)
The SS-4 allows you to connect multiple pairs of speakers to your stereo receiver or amplifier and play any pair, any combination of pairs, or all pairs simultaneously. You don’t have to worry about overloading your amplifier. The SS-4 has a protection circuit that keeps your amplifier running safely, even if you have all pairs of speakers playing at the same time.
Balancing Speaker Volume
The volume control on your receiver or amplifier serves as the “master” volume for all speaker pairs connected. The volume level of the speakers may vary from room to room. This is caused by several factors. Two lesser factors are the size of the speaker and its efficiency. The largest factor is the physical size of the room. The best way to balance speaker volume is to equip each of the speaker pairs in your system with a Niles volume control (sold separately). The controls allow you to adjust the volume of each speaker pair individually. If all the speaker pairs in your system are equipped with Niles volume controls, you can leave the amplifier or receiver volume set at one position and use the Niles controls exclusively.
Power Handling
The SS-4 is designed for use with a receiver or amplifier having a maximum power output of 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms (the SS-4 requires an amplifier that is compatible with a 4 ohm load). Removable screwless connectors accommodate up to 14-gauge speaker cable and make connections secure, quick and easy.
Features & Benefits
The SS-4 offers a number of improvements over other speaker selectors including; a protection circuit that safeguards attached receiver/amplifier, separate left and right ground paths for compatibility with all amplifiers, including bridged designs.
Rugged Construction
The SS-4 features rugged all-metal chassis construction and non-skid feet that won’t scratch furniture and ensures unit stability during operation. Also included are 72 adhesive-backed room identification labels for ease of organization and planning. To top it off, Niles’ legendary performance is backed by a 10-year warranty.
