Installation Considerations HDL-6 Power Handling The HDL-6 is designed for use with a receiver or amplifierhaving a maximum power output of 250 watts per channel at8 ohms. Damage caused by the use of a higher-power receiv-er or amplifier will void the warranty. Consult your Niles deal-er, or receive...

The actual impedance load the HDL-6 presents to your receiveror amplifier will vary, depending on how many speaker pairsare playing, and the impedance rating of each speaker. If youhave six pairs of 8-ohm speakers playing, the HDL-6 will presenta 4.3 ohm impedance load to your receiver/amplifier. Wi...

Avoiding Interference Speaker wires can act as an "antenna" for electrical noise. Locatingspeaker wires too close to a light dimmer or switch may cause thespeakers to emit a "buzzing" or "popping" sound. If you mustlocate the HDL-6 wiring near electrical devices, route the sp...

Page 12 - Operation; Playing One Pair of Speakers At a Time

Operation You can use the HDL-6 in two ways: play one pair of speakersat a time, or play multiple pairs simultaneously. If you intend to play more than one pair of speakers at thesame time, you should become familiar with the operation ofthe HDL-6's PROTECTION button. Playing One Pair of Speakers At...
