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 8 ohms. Damage caused by the use of a higher-power receiver or amplifier will void the warranty. Consult your Niles dealer, or receiver/amplifier manufacturer, if you are uncertain about the power rating of your receiver or amplifier.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE SVL-2 WITH AMPS OR RECEIVERS RATED AT MORE THAN 100 WATTS PER CHANNEL RMS AT 8 OHMS.
Amplifier Impedance Load
As more pairs of speakers are parallel connected to a receiver or amplifier, the overall system impedance becomes lower. For example, if two pairs of 8-ohm speakers are connected in parallel, the impedance will be 4 ohms, two pairs of 4-ohm speakers in parallel become 2 ohms, and so on.
Most receivers or amplifiers are not rated for use below a 4 ohm load. Most manufacturers do not recommend connect- ing two pairs of 4-ohm speakers without using some form of impedance correction.
