5. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure your amplifier and all audio components are powered off and unplugged from the mains.

5.1 Wiring Considerations

  • Use high-quality speaker wire for optimal audio performance.
  • Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all speaker connections. Incorrect polarity can lead to poor sound quality.
  • The JSS6-VC2 is designed to protect your amplifier by maintaining a minimum 4 Ohm load. Do not bypass this protection.

5.2 Connecting to Your Amplifier

  1. Locate the speaker output terminals on your amplifier. These are typically labeled "Speaker Out" or "Main Speakers".
  2. Connect the speaker output terminals of your amplifier to the "Amplifier Input" terminals on the JSS6-VC2. Ensure correct polarity.
  3. Example: Connect the amplifier's left positive (+) terminal to the JSS6-VC2's "Amplifier Input L+" terminal. Connect the amplifier's left negative (-) terminal to the JSS6-VC2's "Amplifier Input L-" terminal. Repeat for the right channel.

5.3 Connecting Speakers

  1. Identify the speaker terminals on the JSS6-VC2 labeled "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", up to "Speaker 6".
  2. Connect each pair of speakers to the corresponding terminals on the JSS6-VC2. For example, connect your first pair of speakers to the "Speaker 1" terminals.
  3. Ensure correct polarity for each speaker pair.
  4. Repeat this process for all speaker pairs you wish to connect, up to a maximum of six pairs.

6. Operating Instructions

Once all connections are securely made and verified, you can begin operating your Jamo JSS6-VC2 speaker selector.

6.1 Selecting Speaker Pairs

  • Each speaker pair connected to the JSS6-VC2 has a corresponding selection button on the front panel.
  • Press the button corresponding to the speaker pair you wish to activate. The button will typically illuminate or click into place to indicate selection.
  • You can select one or multiple speaker pairs simultaneously.
  • To deselect a speaker pair, press its button again.

6.2 Adjusting Volume

  • Each selected speaker pair has an independent volume control knob.
  • Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the volume for that specific speaker pair.
  • Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
  • The master volume control on your amplifier will affect all selected speaker pairs proportionally. Use the individual volume controls on the JSS6-VC2 for fine-tuning each pair.

7. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Dust the unit regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation openings on the unit are not blocked.
