Installation Considerations SVL-6 Power Handling The SVL-6 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-6 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 all six speaker pairs areplaying at the same time. The actual impedance load the SVL-6 pr...

3. Make the connections to the SVL-6. The amplifier/speakerconnectors on the SVL-6 are removable. If you wish, you mayremove the SVL-6's connectors to facilitate installation [see(Figure 3)]. Strip 3/8" of insulation from the end of eachwire. Tightly twist the end of each wire until there are no...

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

Operation There are two ways to use the SVL-6. You may play andadjust the volume of one pair of speakers at a time, or playmultiple pairs simultaneously. If you intend to play more than one pair of speakers at thesame time, you will need to become familiar with the oper-ation of the SVL-6's PROTECTI...
