Introduction The SVL-2 is a combination speaker selector and volume con-troller. It allows you to connect two pairs of speakers to yourstereo receiver or amplifier and adjust the volume of eachpair independently. Additionally, you can choose to listen toeither pair of speakers, or both pairs simulta...

Features and Benefits The SVL-2 offers a number of improvements over otherspeaker selector/volume controllers: ● The SVL-2 uses 12 position volume controls which aresuperior to 10 position designs. You get a broader range ofadjustment — there are 10 steps of attenuation instead of 8.Steps 11-6 atten...

Installation Considerations SVL-2 Power Handling The SVL-2 is designed for use with a receiver or amplifier hav-ing a maximum power output of 100 watts per channel at 8ohms. Damage caused by the use of a higher-power receiveror amplifier will void the warranty. Consult your Niles dealer,or receiver/...

The SVL-2 includes impedance correction circuitry whichprotects your receiver or amplifier from low impedanceloads. The circuitry assures that your receiver or amplifier willsee a safe operating load, even when two pairs of 4-ohmspeakers are playing at the same time. Type of Speaker Wire For most ap...

Operation The are two ways to use the SVL-2. You may play and adjustthe volume of either pair of speakers independently, or bothpairs simultaneously. If you intend to play both pairs simultaneously, and eitherpair is less than 8 ohms, you will need to become familiarwith the operation of the SVL-2's...
